Hello,
Just trying to find answers to my question...I know that in Spain you can make the campervan your legal address but not sure about Portugal.
What do you know about it?

It is possible to live in Portugal in a motorhome; there is no law prohibiting it. However, there are some conditions to meet. Without the need for a permanent address, you can park on the public road for up to 30 consecutive days, but opening the awnings is not allowed. For this, you need to be in designated motorhome areas, usually paid.
To have an official address, you must park on private land, which can be owned or rented. If the land doesn't have a registered address, you'll need to request address registration through CTT (Portuguese postal service).

isn't having an official address the opposite idea of living in a campervan? I mean, the nice thing about living in a campervan is living like a nomad without an address.

I understand your point, but the question is more related to using a campervan as a house.
And you are free to move your home whenever you want.

Its not so simple.
As an Expat living in Spain for 17 years now, foreigners dont have it so easy to ask Residency on a camper van. First, the camper have to be registered as Furgon-Vivienda, not every conversion is good. But, to be an ower of one you need a NIE and for a NIE you need a previously address.
You can’t really come from germany and ask for empadronamiento in a camper van.
About Portugal, if you plan to be there for more than 3 months and assuming you are european, you need residency. And an address.. also, you need to legalize the van.
Draconian laws..
On the bright side, the Municipal Campings are SUpER cheap.. You possible can live for a month for 250 with some services.. Dont quote me on prices. Last vacation was like 3 years ago. But i know the place
