Which countries have a fact sheet?

17 countries, including all of Germany's neighbours and the popular destinations in the south and the north. For any other country the planner says plainly that there is no checked fact sheet yet and points you to the traffic rules the EU collects for its member states.

How up to date is the information?

Every figure comes from a named source, usually the law itself or a government page, and is stored in our data together with the exact quote. Once a week a program checks whether those quotes are still there and reports any change so the value can be updated. Every fact sheet shows the date it was checked; if that is more than a year ago, the planner says so.

Do different speed limits apply to motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes?

In many countries they do, often stricter ones than for cars. The fact sheet in the planner shows the limits for your vehicle, based on the weight in your profile; the country page shows both weight classes side by side. Where a country does not clearly classify motorhomes, the country page says so instead of guessing a value.

How do I know whether my route passes through a low emission zone?

Switch on “Rules on the road” on the map and the planner draws the part of your route inside a zone striped, with markers where you drive in and out. Either way it adds an item to your checklist: get the sticker or register in advance, with a link to the official site. For France the zones and their Crit'Air levels come from the official database, for the other countries from OpenStreetMap. What is missing there is missing here too.

Does the fact sheet replace the signs on the road?

No. It tells you what applies in general so nothing takes you by surprise at the border. On the road, the signs have the final say, and the planner does not subtract through roads that a low emission zone exempts.

Know what applies across the border before you cross it

A fact sheet at every border: speed for your weight, lights, alcohol, required equipment, winter rules and low emission zones, each with its source.

Translated with AI (disclosure under Art. 50 EU AI Act)

Anyone taking a motorhome abroad for the first time asks the same questions: How fast may I drive here? Do I need my lights on during the day? What has to be on board? And which sticker does the city I want to stay in require? The answers are scattered across laws and government websites, one country at a time and in its own language. Camperada puts them where you need them: at the borders on your route.

A fact sheet at every border

As soon as your route is set, switch on “Rules on the road” in the panel on the right of the map. The map then marks every border crossing with a small dot on the route; zoom in and it shows which two countries it separates. Tap it and the fact sheet for the country you are entering opens, and the panel lists all countries on your trip in order. The fact sheet is short and shows only what applies to your vehicle on this trip from the border on; all of the country’s rules with their sources are on its country page, linked at the end:

Speed limits in built-up areas, outside them, on expressways and motorways, for your vehicle’s weight
Lights during the day: always, only outside built-up areas or only for part of the year
Alcohol, with the separate limits for novice drivers and heavy vehicles where they exist
Required on board, and only what also applies to a vehicle registered abroad, such as the warning sign for a rear rack
Winter equipment, if its period falls within your trip: the planner works that out from your departure date
Low emission zones, if your route passes through one: which sticker or registration the country requires, with a link to the official site

You can switch the layer on and off in the map panel, just like campsites and sights. There are fact sheets for 17 countries at the moment. If your trip goes elsewhere, the planner says so plainly and points you to the traffic rules the EU collects for its member states, rather than inventing a rule. You can also read every fact sheet without a route, on the traffic rules by country pages.

Speed for your weight, not for a car

Many countries set separate, usually lower limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes, sometimes on ordinary roads too. The fact sheet shows the limits for your vehicle, based on the weight you entered in the planner; both weight classes side by side are on the country page. Where a country does not clearly classify motorhomes, the country page says so; a value that is not documented stays open rather than being filled with the car value. What else changes above 3.5 tonnes, from tolls to the clearance check, is on the page for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes.

Low emission zones: the sticker before the camera misses it

Where your route passes through a low emission zone, it is striped on the map, with a marker where you drive in and a crossed-out one where you drive out. Tap one to see what you need to do beforehand and, where known, since when the zone applies. For France the zones come from the official national database, with the Crit’Air level allowed in on your travel date. For the other countries they come from OpenStreetMap. In total the dataset knows 162 zones in Europe, and it is renewed every month.

Where there is a fact sheet, the planner links to the official site for ordering or registering, never to a reseller. The Crit’Air sticker, for example, is only available at the official price from certificat-air.gouv.fr; third parties sell the same sticker at a mark-up. As it arrives by post, it pays to look before you leave, which is why it appears on your checklist.

What to get is on the checklist

Under “Before you set off” the planner collects what your trip requires: the vignettes with the cheapest option, the sticker or registration for each country with a low emission zone on the route, the warning sign where a country requires one for projecting loads, and winter equipment when its period falls within your trip. What the tolls cost is on the page about costs and tolls; what else to organise before you leave is in the guide before the first drive.

Sourced, not copied

Every figure in a fact sheet comes from a named source, usually the country’s law or a government page, and is stored in our data together with the exact quote that supports it. Once a week a program loads each of these sources and checks whether the quotes are still there. If a page changes at the point that supports our value, it is noticed and the value is updated against the source. Every fact sheet lists its sources and the date it was checked; if that check is more than a year old, the fact sheet says so. Changes that have already been decided are entered in advance, and the planner applies them from their start date, measured against your travel date.

What the fact sheet cannot do

It tells you what applies in general and does not replace the signs on the road: a speed limit on a mountain pass or the hours of an old-town zone in Italy are posted at the roadside. The planner does not subtract through roads that a low emission zone exempts; if your route only skirts the zone, you may not need anything at all. And what is missing from the open data, such as many of the Italian access restrictions, is missing from the map too. The fact sheet says so rather than pretending to be complete.
