Motorhome season prep: tire risks and technical checks
Original source: regionalHeute.de

With the start of the spring season, owners of motorhomes and caravans are advised to conduct a technical inspection before the first trip. It is necessary to check fluid levels (engine oil, coolant), the condition of the brake system and battery, tire pressure, as well as the functionality of electrical equipment and the gas system. The date of the next mandatory vehicle inspection should also be verified.

Austrian court allows buyer to return rotten motorhome despite warranty waiver

The Higher Regional Court of Linz (OLG Linz) ruled that a buyer could rescind the purchase of a 2003 motorhome bought for €25,000 from a private seller. Although the contract excluded warranty, the court found that the seller, by arranging an inspection and promising to fix major defects, had effectively assured the vehicle's roadworthiness. A rotten wooden floor panel discovered shortly after purchase was deemed a hidden defect overriding the waiver. The buyer returned the motorhome and received the purchase price minus a usage fee.
