Illegal camp in Fischach: 150 caravans of French church

About 150 caravans of a French evangelical church have illegally settled on a meadow in Fischach, Bavaria, since Friday evening. The site is in a landscape protection and flood zone, without sewage or electricity. The municipality is seeking alternatives, but the nearby festival ground is too small. An ultimatum until Monday was ignored; fines are being prepared and eviction is considered difficult due to many families and children.

Volkswagen Grand California gets solar panels and LiFePO4 batteries

Volkswagen has introduced a new off-grid power system for its Grand California camper. The 600 and 680 models, based on the Crafter van, can now be equipped with two 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries and roof-mounted solar panels (104 W for the 600, 174 W for the 680). According to the manufacturer, the usable capacity of the new battery is about 40% higher than the previous AGM, and its service life is roughly five times longer. The system is designed to extend the time spent without external power.
