In Brief
In Sweden, a motorhome bought for 595,000 kronor broke down after one hour, while another costing 2.7 million kronor suffers electrical chaos. Both cases await ARN ruling.
Two Swedish motorhome buyers have reported serious defects shortly after purchase.
First case: a resident of Eslöv municipality (Skåne) bought a used motorhome for 595,000 kronor. After one hour of use, problems emerged with the engine, exhaust system and frozen water in the pump. The seller denied responsibility, and the buyer filed a complaint with the Swedish Consumer Complaints Board (ARN) demanding contract cancellation.
