Motorhome in Europe

Sweden is a country with so much to explore. Our long country offers not only different seasons but also pristine, miles-long beaches, enchanting castles, breathtaking natural experiences, and fascinating history. However, there is much beyond Sweden’s borders that can also be exciting to discover. Here you’ll find 44 other countries and cultures to explore and learn about. Recharge for your motorhome journey through Europe.

Many travel miles after miles in their motorhomes on Swedish roads, year after year. But even though one can never stop being mesmerized by the beauty of Sweden, Europe may start to tempt those who feel confident on the roads. If you don’t already have a motorhome, it’s just as easy to rent or buy one, turn the ignition key, release the handbrake, and drive into freedom!

During the summer months, the number of motorhomes heading to Europe increases. For Swedes traveling by motorhome in Europe, Germany with its many sights is the primary destination outside of Scandinavia.

If you are thinking of taking your motorhome to Europe, there are several things worth knowing. Rules regarding things like alcohol limits, mobile phone use in vehicles, and speed limits vary from country to country. The EU Commission has developed informative web pages that outline the rules for each country.

Motorhome in Europe – Things to remember before your road trip:

• Don’t forget your passport and driver’s license!
• Passport and driver’s license: Swedish driver’s licenses are valid in EU countries. In other countries, an international driver’s license is required.
• Make sure the vehicle is well-serviced and that the registration certificate accompanies you on your trip. Keep it among your important documents, not in the glove compartment.
• S-mark on the back of the vehicle: If your registration plate has an EU flag, no separate S-mark is needed.
• Check your insurance coverage. “Green card” to show that you have valid car insurance. It is not mandatory, but helpful in case of an accident. Order the green card from your insurance company.
• Order the European Health Insurance Card, which is free and valid for three years.
• First-aid kit, reflective vest, and extra bulbs. Mandatory in some European countries.
• Road atlas, such as Motormännens Europe Road Atlas, plus GPS and possibly a guidebook.

Traveling with a motorhome in Europe is an adventure. Enjoy 😊
