Westfalia unveiled the Columbus Liner at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, based on a 6.36 m Fiat Ducato.

An optional SkyBar coffee machine is available. The model offers 4 seats and 2–4 berths, a kitchen with induction hob and 90-litre compressor fridge, plus a heated double floor. Prices start at €83,900 and go up to around €115,000.

On the A9 in Thuringia, a camper van plowed into a queue of cars caused by a traffic jam. Reports vary: 9 to 34 injured, one seriously. Damage estimated at 350,000 euros.
On the A9 in eastern Germany, 34 people were injured last night in a rear-end collision involving a motorhome. The accident occurred near Bad Lobenstein in Thuringia. The motorhome braked too late and crashed into the tail of a traffic jam caused by an earlier accident on the opposite carriageway. Police reported 34 injured, none in life-threatening condition. Nine vehicles were damaged, including two minibuses, one of which was carrying children with special needs and their carers. The motorway was closed in both directions for over five hours.
Tourists from the Netherlands and other countries increasingly travel to Lake Constance in campers, preferring it to Spanish and Italian resorts due to shorter distance and less heat. Eric and Anita Vlot from near Rotterdam praised local hospitality and said they would return.
