During the summer holiday season, the police in the city of Hagen in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) set up a checkpoint to check the safety of vehicles. During the inspection, law enforcement officers drew attention to the white BMW 3 Series Touring of the E30 series - more precisely, the “three tails” of the 3 Series Touring were in sight. Namely: the E30 station wagon pulled a white trailer of the same series, which, in turn, consisted of two rear parts of the E30 models.

Trailers made from the back of a station wagon are not uncommon - and of course they always look good with a "tractor" of the same series. However, such trailers are often just a wagon cut in half with one axle - the front is formed by a sheet metal wall or, in more noble versions, a wall with a window. In the case of the two-axle example seen at Hagen, the two rears of the station wagon were welded together, with doors welded from the original rear side doors neatly placed in the middle of the side walls. Eight wheels with identical rims completed the image of this stylish caravan.

The Hagen police officers carefully examined the inside and outside of the trailer and found that the owner had good taste. The mattress in the trailer looked quite comfortable, officials said. They wished the driver and his family a happy journey and a pleasant stay.

In Germany, the caravan must have a general inspection sticker and be insured - from the point of view of insurance, the camping trailer is also an independent vehicle. In addition, the state levies a tax on caravans - since vehicles do not have an engine, the tax rate is calculated depending on the weight: for every 200 kg, 7.50 euros go to the state treasury annually. But in this case, the police did not find fault, they let the driver through and posted this photo on their social networks.

The reaction of users to this post was enthusiastic - they praised the Hagen police officers for an adequate response to the "homemade" and found that the motor home really looks good.
