In Brief
Lorsch lowers fees after visitor drop, while Oschersleben considers introducing charges at a currently free lot.
Two municipal motorhome parking sites in Germany are adjusting their pricing. In Lorsch (Hesse), authorities plan to reduce the parking fee after a previous doubling of the charge led to about half of motorhome drivers avoiding the site. The move aims to attract visitors back.
In Oschersleben (Saxony-Anhalt), the city council is discussing introducing a fee for the motorhome parking lot at Wiesenpark, which is currently free. A council member called the current practice impractical, as the city misses out on potential revenue. The administration is to review the matter.

Alpencamper has introduced the Eco Slide Out, a bicycle trailer featuring a lateral slide-out module that expands interior space when parked. When folded, the trailer measures 2.14 m in length, 97 cm in width, and 1.30 m in height; after extension, it provides a bed measuring 1.40×1.96 m, suitable for two adults. Under the bed there is a 270-litre storage compartment and space for a portable dry toilet. The trailer weighs 52 kg and is built from aluminium and composite materials with thermal insulation. It is priced at 8,350 Swiss francs (approximately 8,900 euros), but the project's future is uncertain due to the company's recent financial difficulties.
