Sweden - Time touring 2.5 weeks
One of our favourite countries to to tour so far! Sweden looks out for motor-homers and provides really great services and amenities.
Using camper apps everyday meant we found some of the most incredible, approved and free campsites, preferring to spend our money on attractions, food etc.
Sweden also provides outstanding free services across the country in regard to black water, grey water, fresh water and heated toilet facilities, mainly along motorways.
Sweden, Finland and Norway have the 'Allemansratten' (the right to public access, or slight variations of) however, this is a right for people not for motorised vehicles. Sweden though is more than generous and what this means in practice is:

Under Allemansrätten, you can:

• Walk, cycle, ski, or ride through the countryside

• Camp (tent) almost anywhere for a night or two

• Swim in lakes and enjoy beaches

It applies to most natural land, even if it’s privately owned.

This freedom comes with responsibility:

• Stay away from houses and gardens (respect people’s privacy)

• Don’t damage crops, trees, or wildlife

• Take your rubbish with you, do not dump grey or black water

• Avoid lighting fires where it could be dangerous

• Keep dogs under control, especially during nesting seasons
  
  What this means for motorhomes/campervans/caravans:
  

• No motorised vehicles on any form of terrain (Hard surface rule only - asphalt, gravel etc).

• One night limit in general

• 24 hours at rest stops only

• No camping behaviour - This means no awnings, chairs, tables etc outside of the motorhome, including leaving steps out.

• National Parks & Reserves are often restricted, please check first.

Norway - Touring time 5.5 weeks
Norway has been an exceptional van life experience for us. The service points are very regular (many over the course of a day) and most points along the motorway offer; heated toilets with automated sink, soap etc., black water dump (either manual or the new fully automated Camper Clean, complete with instructions), fresh water, bins, picnic tables and loads of room to stop overnight. Truly exceptional facilities...for FREE! It seems every Norwegian owns a motorhome which might contribute to the fantastic services.
Norway also offers a plethora of site options, and it would be difficult to find one that does not have a magnificent view. Be warned though, there has been many free park up contributions on Park4night that are just ridiculous, tiny 1 van bays on the edge of very busy roads.
Yes, Norway can be an expensive country (food, fuel, attractions) but if you are self-sufficient there is no reason why you would need to pay for sites every day, especially when most paid sites are only open May to September.
