Emma Nissen, a resident of Norrtälje, has written to the local newspaper highlighting the lack of designated motorhome parking in the town center. She notes that other coastal towns have such facilities, but Norrtälje does not. Nissen suggests creating parking at Kärleksudden, near the new guest harbor, and by the music school, pointing out that motorhome owners are willing to pay 250–500 SEK per night and benefit local businesses.

Swedish police warn drivers towing trailers or caravans about the need for additional mirrors if standard ones do not provide adequate rear visibility. A simple test: if, standing behind the trailer, you cannot see the towing vehicle's mirror, the view is blocked and extra mirrors are required. The fine for missing or defective indirect vision equipment is 500 Swedish kronor.

Mercedes will showcase a new, more luxurious version of its Marco Polo camper at the Elmia Husvagn Husbil fair in Jönköping next weekend. The vehicle is described by Mercedes as a "glamping car," focusing on luxury and comfort rather than price. The four-seat Marco Polo, based on the V-Class, features swiveling seats, a pop-up aluminum roof with improved insulation, an awning, a kitchen, a convertible sofa for two, and LED lighting. All functions, including heating and the roof, are controlled via a control panel. Air suspension can level the vehicle on uneven ground. A more affordable entry-level model, the Marco Polo Horizon, seats seven and lacks a kitchen, costing nearly 200,000 SEK less. The price of the new model exceeds one million SEK.

On September 10, Elmia in Jönköping will host a seminar titled 'Mobile Living as Destination Development', organized by the Swedish Caravan and Motorhome Industry Association (HRF). The event will discuss how campsites and motorhome parking areas can evolve from mere parking spots into strategic parts of destination infrastructure. HRF surveys show that 59% of Swedes have vacationed with a caravan or motorhome, with average family spending estimated at 1,087 Swedish kronor per overnight stay. The seminar is free, and journalists are invited to attend and request interviews.

The new version of the Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo will have its Swedish premiere at the Elmia Husvagn Husbil show from September 9-13. The model features a new pop-up roof made of lightweight aluminum with improved insulation and an extra 10 cm of headroom, adjustable LED lighting, and a skylight. A new sound system with eight speakers and a subwoofer is also included, controlled via Mercedes-Benz Advanced Control. The new Marco Polo starts at SEK 1,014,500, while the entry-level Marco Polo Horizon starts at SEK 817,375.

Sweden saw a record year for camping in 2025 with 17.3 million guest nights, according to Svensk Camping. Demand continues to grow, and new transport links like the Fehmarn Belt tunnel could boost tourist flows by up to 150% by 2040. Visita urges clear rules for pitches and competition to prevent municipalities from undermining private operators.
