Original source: Presseportal Magdeburg

On May 24, 2026, a new episode of the program 'Camping-Check' will air on ARD. Hosts Friso and Luki embark on a trip: first, they visit the 'Wesertal' campground on the Weser River, where Friso will test his 33-year-old motorhome 'Pamela' and the local restaurant 'Hüftgold'. Then they head south to the 'Mainglück' campground on the Main River, where the 'Van Days' event is taking place—a gathering for owners of mini-campers, campervans, and rooftop tent enthusiasts.

Why the used Marco Polo appeals despite high prices

The Mercedes Marco Polo (447 series, 2015–2019) remains sought-after on the used market due to its premium interior and driving comfort. Fully equipped examples start at around €40,000, while three-year-old vehicles with up to 50,000 km cost at least €60,000. The OM651 and OM654 diesel engines are known for AdBlue system issues and NOx sensor failures, and timing chain wear may occur after 200,000 km.
