The Cantonal Police of St. Gallen held its first preventive 'Camper Day' at the police station in Oberbüren. On Saturday, 6 June 2026, owners of motorhomes and caravans could weigh their vehicles free of charge on a bridge scale and receive advice on permissible load. Around 70 motorhomes and caravans took part, along with experts from the road authority, TCS, and the 'Wohnmobilland Schweiz' association.
The focus was on the problem of overloading, which impairs handling and can lead to exceeding permissible axle, wheel, and tyre loads. Overloaded vehicles risk fines and administrative measures, especially when travelling abroad. The police deemed the event a success and are considering holding it in other regions.
