Sweden's longest motorhome for sale

According to the Swedish Caravan and Motorhome Association (HRF), new motorhome registrations in Sweden increased by 46% in 2025 compared to 2024, while caravan registrations declined. The country has about 425,000 registered caravans and around 300,000 motorhomes. HRF chairman Per Nilsson attributes the shift to a European trend of people wanting to move around more, finding motorhomes more convenient. Magnus Hartwall, who has tried both, prefers a caravan because driving a motorhome caused rattling noises from cupboards.

Camping owners in Sweden have filed a complaint against municipal parking areas for motorhomes, claiming they create unfair competition. They argue that under the new law, these municipal sites offer services at prices that private campsites cannot match. The complaint seeks to remove or alter the operation of these parking areas.

The Swedish government has sent out for consultation a proposal to increase the maximum speed for passenger cars towing caravans or trailers from 80 to 100 km/h. The change, which could take effect on March 1, would require vehicles to meet the Tempo-100 standard, including technical inspection and specific requirements for tires and braking systems.

The number of newly registered motorhomes in Sweden has doubled in two years, putting pressure on parking in Kristinehamn. The manager of the guest harbour, Tommy Gustavsson, said the sites have been full for a long time, and 25–50 motorhomes are turned away daily. The municipality is open to establishing more parking areas.

Johan Engström, Secretary General of Naturturismföretagen, after a two-week motorhome trip along the coasts of Halland and Skåne, stated that Sweden does not have a general problem of overtourism. He argues that tourism is strong but unevenly distributed: a few places are crowded, while many others are too sparse. The problem, he says, is not primarily too many tourists, but too little management, organization, and refinement. Engström calls for developing tourism through quality and added value rather than increasing visitor numbers, and emphasizes the need for attractive, bookable motorhome parking areas.

Rally driver Oliver Solberg discussed his tradition of traveling by motorhome with his fiancée Chloe to World Championship events in Estonia and Finland. He offered five tips for motorhome trips, including vehicle preparation, route selection, and safe driving. Solberg also noted that after second-place finishes in Estonia and Finland, he has seen the benefits of a calmer approach to racing.
