Rules and laws for campers: what is allowed, what is taboo
Original source: PROMOBIL

In Germany and Europe, different rules apply to motorhomes, campervans, and caravans regarding traffic, overnight stays, and everyday camping. Vehicles over 3.5 tons require a C1 driving license, and on German highways, a speed limit of 100 km/h often applies. Overnight parking to restore driving ability is legal, but setting up an awning or table constitutes illegal wild camping. Sweden and Norway have a right to roam, while Spain, Croatia, and Portugal actively crack down on wild camping.
