Germany has a dense network of campsites and dedicated motorhome stopovers, often with paid electricity, water and waste disposal.

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.
Mexico
Mexico is a major overland motorhome destination, but planning depends on temporary vehicle import rules, toll-road costs, tourist road assistance, protected-area permissions and heat or hurricane-season routing.
Service density varies sharply: Baja and popular colonial or beach routes have more RV infrastructure than remote mountain, desert or jungle routes.
Use RV parks, campsites, guarded parking, private permission and official protected-area camping rather than assuming roadside or beach camping is allowed.
Mexico has a large paid-road network; toll costs can be significant for long motorhome routes and can differ by route and vehicle class. There is no simple nationwide low-emission sticker for foreign motorhomes, but city restrictions, old streets, police checkpoints and parking geometry matter.

- Use CAPUFE tariff references for federal toll sections and compare cuota roads with libre alternatives for cost, time and safety.
- Ángeles Verdes provides tourist road assistance coverage; save the current 078 contact and coverage notes before the trip.
