Family turned down over ugly mobile home [Sweden]

FALKENBERG, Sweden, July 28 (UPI) -- A Swedish family said they are never going back to Olofsbo campgrounds after its owners sent them away because their mobile home was too homely.

The Jarlefjord family of Boras, Sweden, wanted a fun-filled camping trip in their 1964 Eccles Moonstone mobile home when they showed up at Olofsbo camping, the Local reported Monday.

The family said they were out of luck at Olofsbo when their mobile home pulled up to the campgrounds. "I met a man who said that he ran the campsite. He said that our caravan was not coming in here. It is far too ugly," Peder Jarlefjord told reporters.

To make matters worse, the Jarlefjords said they were sent on their way again when they showed up and explained their plight at nearby Hansagards Camping.

The Jarlefjords have spoken to the Ombudsman against ethnic discrimination regarding the incidents, the Local said.

Apparently "WHITE: Recreational Vehicle/Trailer Owner/User" was somehow never covered in Swedish Anti-Discrimination Laws.

The E.U. Clearly has much more work to be done!

If that’s a trestle off to the side, it’s even located in a fitting place; right next to the tracks...

If they install 6 or 7 video projectors and up their Netflix account, they could run a multiplex theater in there...

I see that as artistic and innovative. Steel shipping containers would have been better though. :)

med husvagnen från 1964 som inte fick komma in på Olofsbo camping.

You are probably right but remember, no profanity on F.R.

It’s the perfect place for the Bill Clinton museum.
