Rent a roadsurfer Camper Van or RV in Gothenburg

Discover the west coast of Sweden, world-class cuisine, and the second largest (and most sustainable!) city in Sweden when you rent a camper van or RV in Gothenburg. We’ve compiled the top tips on how to get your road trip off to the best start in the section below. From where to find fresh water and groceries, to the perfect spot for a coffee before you hit the road – you can start planning today!


Camper vans & RVs with ready-to-go camping gear

Our roadsurfer camper vans and motorhomes are equipped with everything you may need or want on your Gothenburg road trip. Enjoy a seamless road trip experience with built-in navigation, relax and unwind on a big and comfortable bed, and make use of a fully stocked kitchen box that includes a pot and pan, tableware, glasses, utensils, mugs, and a French press for your morning coffee, allowing you to prepare your favorite meals. Additionally, we provide an outdoor table and camping chairs so you can enjoy your time outside. The only thing you need to bring is a comforter or sleeping bag and your sense of adventure. You can also reserve a comforter when you book your camper van rental in Gothenburg, along with many other items that you can find on our equipment list.

Best time of year to visit Gothenburg

The best time to rent a camper van or RV in Gothenburg is between May and September when the temperatures are between 60° and 70°. The warmest months are July and August. In August, the annual music festival Way Out West takes place in Slottsskogen Park (Castle Forest). Fans of heavy metal music should visit in June and July as there are many interesting metal festivals taking place such as Metal Town Festival.

Fall to spring is not the best time to visit in terms of weather due to rain. On the other hand, this is a great time to visit Sweden from a culinary point of view because it’s the best time to enjoy freshly caught delicacies from the sea, including crabs, mussels, or oysters. Tip: Lobster from western Sweden is considered some of the best in the world!

Filling and emptying water tanks in Gothenburg

When you rent a camper van in Gothenburg, you’ll need to find somewhere to fill your fresh water at the beginning of your trip and empty the grey water at the end.

Gas stations often have a fresh water tap where you can fill up, although we recommend not using the hose provided, as it’s not guaranteed to be free of contaminants. Instead, use a water canister to fill the fresh water tank. You can also buy large bottles of water from grocery stores for this purpose.

Unlike the U.S. and other European countries that have plenty of RV service sites, Sweden has fewer camper van services where you can empty your grey water. It’s best to do this at your campground after the final night of your road trip.

Before you return your roadsurfer camper van, you can refill with diesel and AdBlue at one of these convenient gas stations near our location here:

Paying tolls in Sweden

There are no highway or freeway tolls in Sweden. However, there is a city toll in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Essingeleden, and your license plate number with be automatically recorded. The fees depend on the time and date. The same happens at the Motala and Sundsvall bridges. EPASS24 takes care of the billing. The exception is the Oresund Bridge, where you can pay directly before crossing. The best solution for the electronic fees is to create an EPASS24 account at the start of your journey so that you can make automatic payments. Important: When creating the EPASS24 account, click on “Rental” and carefully enter your travel time with your roadsurfer. We are not responsible if you incur additional costs due to a subsequent driver.
