Key actions include inspecting the gas system, tires, electrical equipment, and water system, as well as arranging a timely technical inspection for trips abroad.

Motorhome season prep: tire risks and technical checks

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.

Feldkirch court opens insolvency proceedings against Anaya Reisemobile

The Regional Court of Feldkirch opened insolvency proceedings against Anaya Reisemobile GmbH on 15 September 2026. The company sold and rented motorhomes and caravans, repaired them, sold accessories, operated a wash facility and was a factory representative for Carado and Hymer. A restructuring procedure had already been opened in 2024 and was terminated on 3 April 2025 after a 20% restructuring plan quota was accepted. The new insolvency is attributed to failure to meet projected sales and rental figures for the 2026 high season (June to August). Liabilities amount to approximately EUR 1.2 million, with 22 creditors and 5 employees. The company agreed to closure because a positive going-concern forecast is no longer possible. Creditor claims can be filed until 27 October 2026; the examination hearing is scheduled for 9 November 2026, with attorney Dr. Bernhard Ess appointed as insolvency administrator.
