Planning a Campervan Trip from Munich

Quick summary: Planning a campervan trip from Munich means choosing a pickup, a vehicle that suits your license, and a route through Bavaria and perhaps Austria. Germany’s autobahns make long drives quick, though Munich has a low-emission zone and Austria requires a vignette for its motorways. Book campsites and your RV rental well ahead for Oktoberfest and summer, and consider designated motorhome parking areas for flexible overnight stops in a campervan or motorhome.
