Living in a Caravan on Private Property: Legal Restrictions

Living in a caravan on private property often requires a building permit, as courts classify it as a stationary structure. In Germany, regulations vary by state and municipality, and such use is generally prohibited in outer areas. Even periodically moving the caravan does not change its legal status as a predominantly fixed installation.

The smallest motorhome presented, but with a catch

German company ARI Motors introduced the electric motorhome 458 Pro, considered the smallest in Germany. The motorhome is delivered with an empty cabin of about three square meters that the buyer must furnish themselves. The base version with a 15 kWh battery starts at 23,350 euros, reaches a top speed of 74 km/h, and has a range of 120–180 km.

Owners circumvent the two-week parking limit by periodically moving the trailers, which technically does not violate traffic regulations. In contrast, motorhomes can be parked indefinitely as they are classified as motor vehicles.
