I haven't traveled by RV in Europe, but my observations living there, occasionally, were that the campgrounds are wonderful. Usually scenic, close to towns with convenience facilities and close to cities with larger scale facilities, and with a generally accepting attitude to 'caravans', as they are often called. I was amazed to see European RV families pull off the road at noon and make their picnic in a nearby field or pasture beneath a shady tree, take a snooze, and then pack up and drive off, taking every scrap of trash with them. No irate farmer, no strife.
Europeans DO have trouble with "Gypsies" because of their bad reputation for regular petty theft, and sometimes more. Gypsies are also scorned for their begging. (In the USA we have gypsies, too, usually called 'Travellers', who generally congregate in the Southeast states, but we have many in the Atherton California area, yes, the "richest suburb in America" in many polls, is largely owned and often inhabited by Gypsies/travellers. They own an enormous amount of land right here in Silicon Valley, especially in Menlo Park, where they have huge uninhabited urban lots for their occasional gatherings. The richest and most exclusive Country Club on the peninsula, "Menlo Circus Club", is on gypsy land and right next to their other holdings. That's why you can find a Palm Reader on El Camino Real: it's grandfathered in.
