Europe's largest caravan Polar Glacier unsold even at €14,000
Original source: motorpasion.com

In Brief

The 14-meter Polar Glacier caravan from 2008, equipped with a sauna and kitchen, failed to sell at auction. The highest bid was €13,800, but the sale was blocked due to expired inspection and a road ban.

The Polar Glacier caravan, built by Swedish manufacturer Polar in 2008, remains unsold despite price cuts. The owner, a Swedish dealer, first listed it at auction in 2025 with a reserve of €50,000; the highest bid reached €26,500. A second auction on Klaravik in May 2026 ended with a bid of €13,800, below the undisclosed minimum.

The caravan features a sauna, full kitchen, and underfloor heating. It weighs 3.5 tonnes and requires a large pickup truck like the Ford F-150 to tow. Key reasons for lack of buyers: the vehicle's inspection expired in February 2014 (valid until November 2025) and it is banned from public roads from December 2026.
