Miscalculation of the pier

The municipality of Enköping (Sweden) previously removed 11 of 13 motorhome parking spaces near port warehouses due to risk of pier collapse. However, a geotechnical survey showed that the structure is designed for its own load but not for heavy vehicles. The error in assessing the pier type allowed a review of the ban, and parking may be restored.

Recall of motorhomes due to risk of losing parts

The European Commission initiated a large-scale recall of motorhomes of several brands. The recall concerns models with a pop-up roof, where a spoiler may detach while driving, posing a danger to other road users.

New EU technical inspection plans: no annual MOT for older motorhomes

The European Parliament's Transport Committee adopted its position on May 5, 2026, regarding the modernization of EU roadworthiness testing rules. For motorhome and camper van owners, the key development is the rejection of the European Commission's proposal to require annual inspections for vehicles over ten years old, deemed disproportionate. Instead, new rules introduce the possibility of having inspections done abroad while on holiday and stricter measures against odometer fraud.
