Eriba Touring Silver Edition: Caravan with Retro Design and Modern Technology

The island of Fehmarn in Schleswig-Holstein attracts surfers due to wind conditions, especially in autumn. More than half of tourist overnight stays on the island are at campsites, where a pitch costs 30–50 euros per night. There are about 20 campsites on the island, some located directly on the beach and near surf spots.

In Mettmann South, motorhomes, commercial vehicles, and long-term parkers are blocking streets. The city administration proposes a parking management zone with a three-hour maximum stay and an annual resident permit for €75. The proposal goes to the planning committee on June 2. Residents had previously complained about permanently parked motorhomes, but a full ban was deemed legally unenforceable.

A retro campsite has opened at Gräbendorfer See, a former open-pit coal mine in Brandenburg that was flooded from 1996 to 2007, becoming the first fully flooded pit lake in the state. The campsite is run by Uwe Stephan, offering a nostalgic atmosphere for visitors. The lake has a 9.4 km walking trail, and its 170-hectare island is off-limits due to nesting by over 10 bird species.

On Monday morning, a 70-year-old driver lost control of his motorhome on Dorfstrasse in Kutenholz-Essel (Lower Saxony). The vehicle knocked down several meters of wooden fence, ran over a tree, and stopped in bushes on private property. The driver was unhurt; the motorhome was towed.

Tiny houses face issues with building regulations, structural engineering, and energy efficiency. Despite their popularity, many projects fail due to permits, land, and technical requirements. Compliance with energy standards requires thick insulation, reducing interior space. Long-term habitation often subjects them to the same rules as conventional homes.

Freaks of Fashion, based in Hamburg, has introduced a line of stickers, decorative films, and accessories for motorhomes, camper vans, and boats. The range includes exterior decals with sports and wildlife themes, as well as interior films for furniture. Products are available in multiple colors.
