Weighing Motorhomes and Driver Training in Weiden

On Monday evening, a caravan parked in a garage courtyard on Jahnstraße in Wesel burned out completely. Police are investigating the cause of the fire and are seeking witnesses to the incident.

Experts from Automobile Reetz in Emmerich warn of common mistakes when preparing a motorhome for the season. Prolonged use of the handbrake during winter can cause it to seize, creating a safety risk.

ARI Motors has introduced the ARI 458 Pro, a compact electric vehicle designed for self-conversion into a camper. The model, with a claimed floor area of 2.8 m² and a standing height of 1.85 m, comes with a solar panel, an auxiliary battery, and water tanks, but lacks interior furnishings. Pricing starts at 30,400 euros, with orders opening on May 1, 2026.

Ari has opened orders for a compact motorhome based on the 458 Pro electric vehicle. The 3.5-meter-long motorhome is offered as a base chassis with a living module for €30,381, without furniture, featuring a standing height of 1.85 m and a range of up to 230 km. The buyer must equip the sleeping area, seating, and cooking facilities themselves.

Eleven equipped parking spaces for motorhomes have opened in the Wolfgruben district of Dautphetal. The project by the organization Lebenshilfe, initiated in 2022, was delayed for three years due to bureaucratic procedures and requirements for noise and traffic assessments. The spaces feature self-service stations with electricity, water supply, and greywater disposal, costing 15 euros per night plus utilities.
