In Brief
Three Swedish municipalities are boosting motorhome parking capacity: a 24-hour lot opens in Skillinge, Råbocka in Ängelholm gets 20 spaces, and Värnamo plans to encourage private operators amid rising camper tourism.
Several Swedish municipalities are taking steps to expand motorhome parking infrastructure.
In Skillinge, on the northeastern outskirts, a municipal 24-hour parking lot has opened, intended to relieve the harbour and centre. The facility is accessible for motorhomes. It was built in 2021 but its opening was delayed due to detailed plan issues.
In Ängelholm, on the gravel parking lot in the Råbocka area, barriers were rearranged before the 2026 summer season to increase the number of motorhome spaces. Now 20 vehicles can park there.
The municipal council of Värnamo has approved a proposal from the technical committee to develop motorhome infrastructure. The authorities intend to stimulate private operators to create new parking sites, without doing it themselves. The decision comes amid growing motorhome tourism and complaints about unauthorised parking near recreational areas.

The municipality of Värnamo, Sweden, has completed a survey indicating potential for more motorhome parking sites.

Linnea Marklund, a 33-year-old marketer from Arvidsjaur, left her life in Uppsala and moved into a self-built motorhome equipped for full-time living. She has built three motorhomes herself, installing a shower, toilet, induction hob, and an electrical system that allows simultaneous use of a hairdryer and the stove. She works part-time and changes her parking spot daily, staying no more than two nights. She has no plans to return to her old life and hopes a future partner will embrace this lifestyle.

A man in Sweden has been charged with selling or moving his caravan after it was seized by the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden) in September 2025. The caravan, valued at around 200,000 SEK, was finally located and confiscated in June 2026 at the Sudersand Resort on Fårö. The owner reportedly has debts of about 1.2 million SEK. He denies the charges. If convicted, he faces fines or up to one year in prison.
At the Husvagnsexpo in Bromölla, two flagship Swedish-built caravans were presented — the Polar Chimera (Dorotea) and the Kabe Imperial (Tenhult).

According to expert Marcus Dolata, the differences are mainly design-related, while technical specifications and equipment are nearly identical.
