Swedish company Kabe presented the Imperial TRAQ i830 in Germany — the first integrated motorhome based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with an optional Torque on Demand all-wheel-drive system. The Sprinter chassis with a 190 hp engine has rear-wheel drive with dual wheels, a gross vehicle weight of 5,500 kg and a gross combined weight of 7 t. Length is 8.32 m. The all-wheel-drive system uses a multi-disc clutch to automatically distribute torque between axles, reaching 50% to each in critical situations. A double floor houses a 200-litre fresh water tank and a 102-litre grey water tank (heated). The kitchen combines two gas burners and an induction cooktop. Prices start at about R$ 1.54 million (259,000 euros) without the all-wheel-drive option. The model is not sold in Brazil.

A campsite in the Pite River Valley has been declared bankrupt immediately after the summer season. The owner faces charges of two counts of gross accounting fraud and one count of standard accounting fraud. According to the Economic Crime Authority, the campsite handled approximately 4.4 million kronor in payments and 4.5 million kronor in disbursements without proper accounting. Prosecutor Niklas Jeppsson stated the crime should be considered gross due to the significant amounts involved. The Tax Agency maintains its bankruptcy petition despite the owner's opposition, who claims the campsite is for sale and debts can be repaid. The campsite's request to postpone debt payments was rejected; according to the Tax Agency, it has no seizable assets. The Economic Crime Authority seeks a business ban and a 500,000 kronor corporate fine. The owner denies the charges.
