New Rules for Motorhomes in Greece

Companies All4Bus and Dammler are preparing to produce the all-wheel-drive Torsus Savage 4x4 motorhome. The 8.7-meter model, based on a MAN TGM 4x4 chassis, features a 285 hp diesel engine, 35 cm of ground clearance, and can ford waters up to 60 cm deep. Its base price will be around 550,000 euros.

Greek police published a clarifying ordinance in February 2026 that eliminates uncertainty in parking rules for motorhomes. Motorhomes up to 7.5 meters long can park in built-up areas without time limits where permitted for regular vehicles. Parking is allowed on the roadside outside built-up areas, but setting up camping equipment remains prohibited.

Greece has reversed a general ban on motorhome parking that was implemented in May 2025. Under a new police directive (No. 1246/26/351380), motorhomes up to 7.5 meters can park without time limits in inhabited areas, while longer ones are limited to 24 hours.

ARI Motors released a camper van the size of a regular van — and it's now Germany's smallest production electric camper at €30,000. JAL decided its passengers hadn't traveled enough and offered a sequel: a motorhome pickup straight from Narita. The lawsuit against Stellantis over "cheat" diesel software, a yellow DHL van in the hands of a retiree, and 413 million campsite overnight stays across Europe — all in this issue.

Greek police have issued a clarificatory order establishing new parking rules for motorhomes and caravans. Within populated areas, motorhomes over 7.5 meters and all caravans are limited to 24-hour parking, while outside populated areas there are no time limits unless prohibited by signage. The order clearly distinguishes legal parking from illegal camping, prohibiting the deployment of additional equipment like awnings or chairs.

Three fires broke out along Kifissou Avenue at dawn on Sunday. In the Moschato area, a commercial van and a motorhome were completely destroyed by flames; authorities are investigating possible arson due to the close timing of the incidents.
