Karlstad (Sweden) allocates SEK 1.6 million for more motorhome parking. Osnabrück (Germany) approves two new sites, and Waischenfeld plans eight spots to boost tourism.
The municipality of Värnamo, Sweden, has completed a survey indicating potential for more motorhome parking sites. It now plans to step back from direct operation and instead encourage private businesses to establish and run such sites. A simplified guide for setting up new parking areas will be created, and municipal departments will actively support private initiatives.
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.
A resident of Västerås was fined 1,500 SEK for driving a car and caravan combination that exceeded the total weight limit for a standard B license. Police check the registered maximum weights of the vehicles, not the actual load, which can lead to violations even if the car can tow the caravan.
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.
A Fleetwood Revolution motorhome, over 12 meters long, has been listed for sale in Sweden on Blocket for 1.5 million Swedish kronor. It features four electric slide-outs, a 400 hp Cummins ISL diesel engine, 6,900 miles on the odometer, 600W solar panels, a washer-dryer, two TVs, and a full kitchen.
Fritids Center i Ängelholm AB has introduced the Challenger S217 Sport Edition. The vehicle features long beds and an automatic transmission, positioned as an alternative to panel van campers.
The motorhome parking area at Handelshamnen in Karlskrona is full of vehicles from near and far. Visitors cite proximity to water, city life, and the freedom to just be.
