In Ystad, Sweden, traffic wardens face a dilemma as motorhomes increasingly use parking lots as campsites. According to traffic warden Jonas Ljungkvist, sleeping in a vehicle is not considered camping, but setting up a grill on a parking spot is not allowed. Motorhomes with various nationalities line up west of the sewage plant and at Spanienfararegatan in the harbor, with some staying for hours and others using the spots as a campsite.

Caravan owners in Sweden are voicing frustration over what they see as preferential treatment for motorhomes. Anders Holmberg said he is tired of the 'coddling' of motorhomes, while caravans are increasingly banned from parking areas. He claims motorhomes can park for free in city centers, whereas caravans are forced to find spots outside towns. Industry representatives say the conflict is not widespread but acknowledge issues with restrictive signage.

Novacamp, which has sold motorhomes and caravans since 2015, is expanding its premises in the Western industrial area of Trelleborg. After a few tough years during the pandemic and the subsequent recession, sales are picking up again. Owner Benny Eklund notes that interest in motorhomes has increased, as they allow people to satisfy their desire for discovery.

A Swedish 18-meter motorhome, converted from a 2003 Scania CL94UA city bus, is for sale at 105,000 euros. The conversion took place between 2018 and 2022. It features a kitchen with induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine, a dining area, living room, library, guest room, bedroom, and bathroom. It has 14 solar panels (3.5 kW), a 420-liter fresh water tank, and a 420-liter gray water tank. The vehicle can accommodate five people and is designed for temperatures down to -25°C. However, in Germany, a C1 license may be required due to its weight exceeding 3.5 tons.
