August's registration figures show a decline for both caravans and motorhomes compared to last year's figures, according to a press release from the Swedish Caravan Industry Association. Uncertainty about the international situation, high energy prices and concerns about interest rate increases, together with continued delivery problems, may be the reasons.

Marco Polo module turns Mercedes' new T-Class into a camper van

So-called micro-campers are becoming increasingly popular, especially cars that can switch tasks between being an everyday car and a motorhome. With a new Marco Polo module, Mercedes-Benz's new compact T-Class can be quickly transformed into a camper van with room for two to sleep, eat and cook. A 2 x 1.5 metre bed is stored in the boot and folds forward over the rear seats when it's time to sleep. At the rear, a kitchen module is available that can be accessed when the tailgate is raised. The Marco Polo module will go on sale at the end of the year.

Circle K presents unique sausage compass

Do you sometimes like to stop for a sausage on your car journey? The election is approaching and Circle K presents a survey via Kantar Sifo, which shows the sausage habits of different political parties. They have also produced a sausage compass which can provide "guidance for the elections". This is how sausage habits differ between parties:

• Sweden Democrats eats mostly sausages, preferably chorizo or barbecue sausages.
• Moderates also eat a lot of sausages, preferably chorizo or barbecue sausages.
• Christian Democrats eat as many sausages as moderates, but more per time. Chorizo is the favourite.
• Social democrats eat as many sausages as Moderates and Christian Democrats, but prefer grilled sausages.
• Centre Party is in the middle of the pack when it comes to sausage habits, preferring grilled sausages.
• Liberals is also a centre party in terms of sausage habits, but prefers chorizo.
• Left-wingers are slightly less enthusiastic about sausages, with vegetarian sausages in the top 5.
• Greens are similar to leftists in terms of sausage habits, but have even more supporters who do not eat sausages at all.

Reflection of the week

The "sausage compass" should not be taken too seriously, but it is interesting that there seems to be a certain party political connection ... In this context, we would like to remind you to use your democratic right, and go and vote!
