Parking with trailer, caravan and motorhome

The municipality of Skellefteå has published parking rules for motorhomes, caravans and trailers. A vehicle with a trailer or caravan attached is considered a single unit and must fit within marked parking spaces. A detached trailer or caravan is treated as a separate vehicle and is subject to parking fees. A motorhome registered as a passenger car class II may park where passenger cars are allowed, unless otherwise indicated.
