Residents of Munich's Sendling-Westpark district are complaining about a lack of parking spaces due to motorhomes and caravans occupying them for long periods — sometimes for several months.

According to city authorities, parking motorhomes is permitted wherever cars CAN park, provided the vehicle is registered and roadworthy. However, caravan trailers must be moved every two weeks under the rules. The city cannot impose a general ban, as this would conflict with federal traffic regulations.
