Germany has a dense network of campsites and dedicated motorhome stopovers, often with paid electricity, water and waste disposal.
Camper Rules Assistant
Build a country route and get compact allowed/do-not-assume/check cards for overnight rules, LEZ, tolls, documents and winter requirements.
Germany
Germany is friendly to motorhome touring when you use signed Stellplaetze, campsites and normal legal parking. Wild camping is broadly restricted, and city access can depend on environmental stickers.
Treat an overnight roadside stop as parking, not camping: keep awnings, chairs, steps and leveling gear inside the vehicle footprint unless a site explicitly allows them.
Private leisure motorhomes are normally outside Germany's truck toll system, but heavy or goods-use vehicles need a closer check before travel. Many German low-emission zones require a valid environmental sticker, and foreign vehicles may need to apply before entering.
Norway
Norway is outstanding for motorhome touring, but planning is serious: tolls, ferries, tunnels, mountain weather, winter equipment and local camping or parking rules all matter for large vehicles.
Campsites and bobilplasser are key for water, dump points, electricity and legal overnight stops, especially near fjords, Lofoten and scenic roads.
Norway's right to roam supports outdoor recreation, but motorhomes must still follow road access, parking, private-land, sign and local rules.
Norway uses extensive automatic tolling, and ferries, tunnels and road projects can add major costs; vehicle group, length and emissions data affect pricing. Norway does not use a single tourist low-emission sticker, but urban toll rings and some toll projects can vary by fuel, emissions class and vehicle group.
Tolls and charges

- The federal truck toll applies to vehicles over 3.5 tonnes when they are intended or used for road haulage.
- Mountain roads, ferries and private roads can still have separate charges or seasonal restrictions.

- Arrange AutoPASS, Epass24 or rental billing before travel, and make sure a motorhome over 3.5 tonnes in M1 is registered correctly for the right toll group.
- AutoPASS for ferry and FerryPay rules depend on agreement type and vehicle length, including trailers, bike racks and other equipment.
