Norway has seen several incidents involving caravans and motorhomes in the past month: a collision with a car in Leknes, a road departure in Evje og Hornnes, and an accident with a tractor in Gudbrandsdalen. No injuries reported, details under investigation.
The Norwegian Road Authority has clarified that a motorhome used for commercial transport (e.g., towing an employer's trailer with tools) is subject to driving and rest time regulations and must be equipped with a tachograph if the total weight of the vehicle or combination exceeds 3,500 kg. An exemption applies only if all five conditions are met: transporting materials for the driver's own work, driving is not the main activity, distance within 100 km of the company base, total weight up to 7,500 kg, and transport not carried out for another party. From 1 July 2026, the rules will also apply to motorhomes weighing between 2,500 and 3,500 kg for international transport.
On Saturday afternoon, the gravel lot at Judaberg on Finnøy island turned into a small motorhome village. Rows of homes on wheels lined up for outdoor dancing with Jet Set and evening relaxation at Dickins bar & restaurant. The parking was opened without obtaining the required permits, raising questions about its legality.
The Lofoten Islands, a popular destination for motorhome travel, have introduced restrictions on overnight stays due to mass tourism. Since 2021, local authorities have banned overnight parking in the most visited areas, and parking lots along the E-10 highway now have a time limit of up to 4 hours. The fine for improper parking is about 80 euros.
Tromsø police are investigating Indie Campers for allegedly operating illegal rental of foreign-registered vehicles. According to Nordlys, the company uses cars with German plates, drives them into Norway, and rents them to tourists, thereby avoiding VAT and registration tax. The unpaid taxes could reach 200,000 NOK per vehicle, with total losses to the state potentially amounting to several million kroner.
In Oslo, an old Transporter-type motorhome stopped in the Operatunnelen tunnel. The right lane towards Ryen was closed because the rear of the vehicle protruded into the lane. Traffic in the left lane continued normally. The incident was resolved by 09:16 and the lane reopened.
In Tønsberg, Norway, the former Skallevold camping site has been converted into a motorhome parking area with 50 spaces. Operated by Tønsberg parkering, the site will be available through August 2026. The fee is 250 NOK per night, with water, toilet dumping, and trash disposal provided.
