Several countries, including Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, have issued warnings about thefts and attacks on tourists sleeping in motorhomes and caravans at parking lots in southern and western Sweden. Particularly vulnerable are rest areas along the E6 route, areas near the ports of Malmö and Trelleborg, and the vicinity of Gothenburg. Authorities recommend using guarded campsites, hiding valuables, and storing documents separately.

A week in a motorhome: freedom, sea views and an unexpected toilet problem

Perfect Weekend editor Viggo Cavling spent a week in a Sunlight T690L motorhome on a Ford Transit chassis to understand the appeal of this lifestyle. Sweden has about 120,000 registered motorhomes, with new registrations up 54.7% in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year, though some of this increase is due to early registrations ahead of new Euro 6 rules. The nearly 7-meter-long, over 2-meter-wide vehicle requires constant concentration while driving but offers freedom of movement. The week's main challenge was emptying the toilet cassette, solved by a CamperClean machine in Uddevalla for 100 kronor.

Where you cannot park a motorhome: clarification of Swedish rules

A dispute arose in Sweden over motorhomes parked at Lake Halen in Olofström. Residents complained on social media, and the municipality stated the area is not a designated parking lot. Under Swedish law, sleeping in a motorhome on a legal parking spot is allowed, but the right of public access (allemansrätten) does not apply to vehicles: parking in forests, beaches, or lawns is prohibited. Parking lots have time limits (usually 24 hours), and rest areas are intended only for short stops.
