Poland's Ministry of Infrastructure has responded to a parliamentary inquiry, stating it does not plan to introduce separate, lower rates for motorhomes with a permissible gross weight above 3.5 tonnes in the e-TOLL system. The ministry cites EU Directive 1999/62/EC and the 'user pays' principle, under which the fee depends on weight, not the purpose of the trip. However, from September 21, 2026, an exemption from electronic tolls will apply to trailers towed by passenger cars with a weight below 3.5 tonnes, affecting about 99% of tourist vehicles. Owners of heavier motorhomes, numbering around 2,200 in Poland, will continue to pay the same rates as trucks.

Both club-affiliated and unaffiliated crews may attend. Participation costs are according to the campground's price list, payable on site.

Polish manufacturer Tomplan, known for trailers and box vans, has introduced the Tommy caravan, which can be towed with a standard B driving license.
