In Germany, you are allowed to spend one night in your RV in places where it is not explicitly forbidden. This “interruption of the journey” officially serves as a means to “restore the ability to drive”. This means if you are too tired to continue driving, you may – at any time – stop in a suitable parking lot and rest until you can continue driving. For this reason, you shouldn’t give the impression that you want to camp there. Taking out chairs, extending the awning, and preparing for a barbecue will give the impression of a long term stay. It’s a good idea to arrive as late as possible and continue early the next day. Overnight parking of maximum 10 hours is tolerated.

Germany has a network of official RV areas called Stellplatz, and there’s around 3600 of them throughout the country. These areas are usually provided by villages or towns and many also offer water, waste disposal and electricity hook-up. It is also possible, for example, in parking lots on the motorway or at parking bays and rest areas on federal highways where there are no prohibition signs for campers. In such parking lots, overnight stays are usually free of charge, unless you park your RV in a paid parking lot.

In Germany, motorhomes weighing up to 3.5 tonnes are allowed to drive fairly fast. The speed limit outside of towns and villages is 100 km/h, while you can go up to 120 km/h on express roads. Most German motorways don’t have a speed limit. However, ADAC, the German automobile association, recommends a speed limit of 130 km/h. Know the speed limits and remember they will be displayed in kilometres per hour: 130kph = 80mph, 110kph = 68mph, 50mph = 31mph. Penalties for speeding offences can be harsher than in the UK.

Germany is a very friendly country to campervan enthousiast, it has beautiful scenery, smooth roads, and numerous campsites. The autobahn also makes travelling easy and quick.
