The Swedish company Västra Götalands Husvagnsskrot, which specialized in dismantling old caravans, was declared bankrupt on August 24 by the district court in Gothenburg. The cause was a dispute with Skrotfrag AB, to which a debt was not paid. A warehouse of almost 1,000 square meters is full of spare parts that will be sold off. The price difference compared to new parts can reach 500 euros; for example, a Dometic Seitz S4 window costs about 778 euros, while a used one could be bought for under 300 euros.

Västra Götalands Husvagnsskrot, a company specializing in dismantling caravans, has been declared bankrupt by the Gothenburg court. The trustee, Susanne Wiklund, announced a sale of a huge inventory of spare parts and numerous old caravans. The bankruptcy follows a debt dispute with recycling firm Skrotfrag AB, which filed the petition in early summer. Caravan owners can expect to buy spare parts at reduced prices soon.

A resident of the Swedish municipality of Sotenäs has called on authorities to address the situation with free motorhome parking, which has become 'almost grotesque' during the summer. In Väjern, the gravel area by the harbor is effectively used as a parking spot for about twenty caravans, with only one toilet and one shower available. The old gravel road at Tumlaren is also used for camping, with solar panels and furniture set up, blocking views of the archipelago. The author questions why the municipality, which together with the police has put up signs against wild camping, is not acting.
