World's largest caravan fails to attract buyers

The Black Beast, a 14-meter caravan with a sauna and underfloor heating, has been on sale in Sweden for over a year at €50,000, down from its original €125,000 in 2008. Its extreme size makes it impractical for most users, limiting campsite access and requiring a heavy tow vehicle. Recent auctions saw bids as low as €14,000.
