In Munich residential areas like Gilmstraße, motorhomes and caravans occupy parking spaces for weeks, especially in winter. City officials state parking is allowed anywhere cars can park, provided the vehicles are registered and operational. However, caravans must be moved every two weeks by regulation. The city cannot impose a general ban as it contradicts federal traffic laws.
