Johan Lindell, 40, becomes new CEO of Vinslövs fritidscenter after his father

Stefan Janeld, editor-in-chief of Allt om husbilen, told SVT that the future of motorhomes lies in small, manoeuvrable vehicles. He said the trend is moving towards remote camping, finding one's own spots and getting further into villages. The forecast points to major changes in the motorhome segment in the coming years.

At around 7 a.m. on Saturday, a motorhome owner in southern Visby discovered that a window of her vehicle was open. According to police on Gotland, two males had broken the window and gone to sleep inside. When police arrived, only a 16-year-old remained at the scene. A report was filed for unlawful intrusion and criminal damage; the second suspect was still unidentified on Saturday morning.

A seminar at the Elmia Husvagn Husbil trade fair in Jönköping addressed how motorhome and caravan tourism can boost local consumption. According to HRF's 2026 owner study, the average family spends 1,087 Swedish kronor per overnight stay, including camping fees, restaurants, retail and fuel. HRF plans to develop a destination checklist and launch three pilot projects, with results to be evaluated after the summer 2027 season.

The Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2026 exhibition runs from 9 to 13 September in Jönköping. On Friday 11 September, the fair is open from 10:00 to 18:00, and an adult ticket costs 195 kronor online plus a service fee or 245 kronor on site. Motorhomes and caravans are on display, along with accessories, travel talks and family activities. A multi-day ticket is required to attend evening dances or Oktoberfest.

Bergholm Försäljning AB has appointed Tenhult Fritidscenter as a new Knaus dealer. The cooperation starts immediately and covers both motorhomes and caravans. Tenhult Fritidscenter is located in Jönköping Municipality and has modern premises with exhibition space and a full workshop. Sales begin at the Elmia Husvagn Husbil show, currently taking place in Jönköping.

The autumn season offers opportunities to use caravans and motorhomes and to purchase them. According to Dags Husvagnscenter, autumn clearance means around 20–25 vehicles are sold with autumn offers, while new 2027 models arrive. Among the new models is the Knaus Nordwind, a new caravan series adapted for Nordic conditions. On 19–20 September the centre holds a weekend with campaigns and open viewings. Autumn also concludes the company's 40th anniversary.
