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.
Greece
Greece is excellent for island and shoulder-season motorhome travel, but campers need a careful split between legal road-code parking, camping outside authorised sites, ferry dimensions, toll classes and fire-season restrictions.
Campsites and authorised camper stops are the practical base for water, waste, electricity and legal overnight stays on mainland and island routes.
Greek road-code parking is not the same as camping. Motorhomes may stop or park where the road code allows, but camping behaviour and overnight stays outside authorised places can be restricted.
Greek motorways use operator-specific toll classes, and ferries price by length, height, trailer and passenger count. Greece does not use a simple national tourist LEZ sticker, but Athens traffic measures, old towns, ports, beaches and fire-season closures can affect motorhomes.
