Three motorhome owners living near Klauvaneset in Bergen have criticized the municipality's parking restrictions, which they say stem from a single neighbor's complaint. They argue the area is used by many groups, including anglers and travelers in regular cars, and that motorhomes are not the main source of litter. Dag Bjørnar Mjelde, head of Tellevik coastal fort, also noted that vandalism has decreased since more motorhomes arrived. The residents suggest providing toilets and waste bins instead of restrictions, some of which have been eased, but the recommendation to impose restrictions on the area managed by the road authority remains.
