Camper Day in St. Gallen: Free Weighing of Motorhomes
Original source: Portal Kanton St.Gallen

In Brief

On June 6, 2026, the St. Gallen cantonal police will hold the first Camper Day in Oberbüren, offering free weighing of motorhomes to check permissible payload.

The St. Gallen cantonal police will hold the first preventive campaign "Camper Day" on June 6, 2026, at the police post in Oberbüren. Motorhome owners can have their vehicles weighed free of charge on a bridge scale and receive advice on the permissible remaining payload.

The aim is to prevent overloading, which impairs handling and can lead to accidents, as well as exceeding axle loads, wheel and tire load capacities, and warranty weight. Overloading can result in fines and administrative measures. Motorhomes must be presented in an empty condition, ideally with the fuel tank filled to more than 90% and without additional cargo.

Experts from the road authority, TCS, and the association "Wohnmobilland Schweiz" will be on site.

In Mendrisio, a camper heading south on the A2 motorway lost part of its body, causing a puncture in the right rear wheel. The vehicle stopped on the roadside, and TCS reports traffic problems and debris on the carriageway between the Mendrisio rest area and Genestrerio. It is not yet known whether other vehicles were involved. A tow truck is expected to recover the camper, which is unlikely to continue its journey in its current condition. Queues are already forming near Melide.

On the evening of 21 August 2026, police in Kreuzlingen (Thurgau) arrested a 29-year-old man suspected of thefts from several vehicles. Around 23:30, a report was received about a man entering a motorhome on Langgartenstrasse, followed by a theft from a car on Sonnhaldenstrasse. The suspect was found with stolen goods on Haldenstrasse and taken into custody. His possible involvement in other offences is being investigated.
