Seized German camper trailer up for auction in Keelung, viewing 8/21

Aug 18, 2026

A German-made Hobby camper trailer seized in a drug case is going up for public auction in Taiwan — a rare chance for buyers, with a catch.

  • Prosecutors in Keelung confiscated the trailer during a drug investigation, and it will be sold at auction on the 24th.
  • The trailer arrived by sea from Germany and cleared customs, with all import taxes and fees already paid, but it was impounded just as it was being released.
  • It has never been tested, inspected, or licensed — whoever buys it has to sort all that out themselves.
  • Inside are bunk beds, a bathroom, a small kitchen, a fridge, and a sofa; the trailer weighs 1,800 kg and was built last year.
  • Buyers can view it on the morning of the 21st at the investigation bureau parking lot in Keelung, and bidding requires a NT$200,000 deposit.

Outlook: The sale goes ahead on the morning of the 24th at the Keelung prosecutors' office, with the winning bidder taking on the unfinished registration work.
