The organization Camping Halland says that the number of motorhome pitches at campsites does not match the sharp increase in motorhomes on the roads. In 2025, new motorhome registrations in Sweden rose by 46% compared to the previous year. The opening of the Fehmarn Belt tunnel in the early 2030s is expected to further increase the influx of motorhome tourists to Sweden.

German Federal Fiscal Court: Luxury motorhome sales can be tax-exempt

Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
