World's largest caravan fails to attract buyers — Original source: El Motor

The Black Beast, a 14-meter caravan with a sauna and underfloor heating, has been on sale in Sweden for over a year at €50,000, down from its original €125,000 in 2008. Its extreme size makes it impractical for most users, limiting campsite access and requiring a heavy tow vehicle. Recent auctions saw bids as low as €14,000.

Swedish driver fined for exceeding trailer weight limit with standard license

A resident of Västerås was fined 1,500 SEK for driving a car and caravan combination that exceeded the total weight limit for a standard B license. Police check the registered maximum weights of the vehicles, not the actual load, which can lead to violations even if the car can tow the caravan.

Where you cannot park a motorhome: clarification of Swedish rules

A dispute arose in Sweden over motorhomes parked at Lake Halen in Olofström. Residents complained on social media, and the municipality stated the area is not a designated parking lot. Under Swedish law, sleeping in a motorhome on a legal parking spot is allowed, but the right of public access (allemansrätten) does not apply to vehicles: parking in forests, beaches, or lawns is prohibited. Parking lots have time limits (usually 24 hours), and rest areas are intended only for short stops.
