A forum user is inquiring about the market value of a 1967 Mercedes Reisebus converted into a motorhome. The vehicle has a valid inspection without defects, a new 220D engine, and an aluminum body by Auwärther.

On June 3 at around 4:00 PM in Löberitz (Saxony-Anhalt), a Mercedes and a motorhome collided at the intersection of Dessauer Straße and Straße der Jugend. The 45-year-old Mercedes driver failed to yield to the 59-year-old motorhome driver. Both women sustained minor injuries and were treated as outpatients at nearby hospitals. The total damage was estimated at €20,000; both vehicles were inoperable and had to be towed.

A PiNCAMP analysis of nearly 15,000 European campsites reveals a significant gap between ADAC classifications and guest reviews. According to ADAC, 77% of campsites receive 3 or 4 stars, while 64% of guests give the top rating of 5 stars. ADAC measures objective quality and facilities based on 200 criteria, whereas guests reflect subjective satisfaction. Experts advise using both systems: first filter by ADAC stars for facility standards, then check reviews for atmosphere.

Promobil magazine reviewed 12 fully integrated motorhomes (vollintegrierte Wohnmobile) as entry-level luxury models. All are built on Fiat Ducato or Mercedes Sprinter chassis, up to 7.5 m long, with base prices from €100,000 to €145,000. A key issue is curb weight: most are registered as 3.5-ton vehicles, but due to heavy construction (large windshield, double floor) payload is limited. Upgrading to 4.4–4.5 t GVWR is recommended for practical use.
