Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that the only symbol available for motorhome pitches is the caravan. Isn’t there any way to change the symbol? It really needs to be done. A good alternative symbol has already been shown on the German Wikipedia page. It should be changed. Can anyone help with that?

Carto is just one of many ways our data can be rendered. Do other nap styles show the same symbol? What about dedicated camping maps or OsmAnd or CoMaps?
If you wish to add more symbols to Carto (our “standard” map style) you need to talk to the maintainers of that style.

Weil ich es international stellen wollte, da es wohl in Deutschland niemanden interessiert hat, wie man dem Wiki Eintrag entnehmen kann. Denn den gibt es auf englisch komischerweise nicht. Daher hier noch einmal. Gerne lösch den in Deutsch.
I didn´t find the contact data.
Let me help
My question remains since I personally belief that campers don’t use osm.org to check camp sites. So: What about places where campers really look for info? How do those render?
I don’t camp. I can’t tell.

Camper search on osm, sure. It´s easy and fast.
And opening a second thread within just 90 minutes really is spamming if you ask me.
This is not a forum run by a multi billion dollar company. We do this on our time. So try some patience please.
Can we merge this with the other thread or close this thread here?

I can close the other thread
I don’t think that suggesting that someone new to OSM tries to influence the style of OSM Carto is going to be productive. I’ve been trying to do that since 2014 with basically no success…
What is more helpful (as was noted in the topic in the German forum) was that there are many ways to display OSM data, including maps specifically for different sorts of camping. A general purpose map probably doesn’t care about different sorts of camp and caravan sites, so investigating other maps is surely the way to go.
Another challenge (and one that I don’t really know the answer to) is that the German wiki page does not reflect the English words used for the OSM tags, and usage of those OSM tags (even in the UK) partly, but not completely, reflects that German page.
As a sidenote, I look after a couple of OSM map styles and have looked at how to differentiate different sorts of sites by tag usage in OSM, but it’s complicated so I could not see an easy answer.

Auf welcher Karte? Jeder Kartenstil hat seinen eigenen Satz von Icons.
Ein Pull-Request in Gtihub (für den gedachten Kartenstil) mit einem Icon-Vorschlag hat die größte Chance realisiert zu werden.

Es betrifft eigentlich jeden Wohnmobilstellplatz auf der Welt 
Mmh, das war nicht gemeint:
“Carto”, der sogenannte Standardkartenstil OpenStreetMap
“CycleOSM” OpenStreetMap
“Cycle Map” OpenStreetMap
“Transport Map” OpenStreetMap
"TracsTrack " OpenStreetMap
“Humanitarian” OpenStreetMap
“Shortbread” OpenStreetMap
“Maptiler OTM” OpenStreetMap
um nur die “wenigen” Stile auf osm.org zu nennen

Falsch verstanden, sorry. Ist in der standard Karte
Das wäre dann

Da können die Symbole geändert/ergänzt werden? Bin kein OSM Junkie :-D
Da braucht’s lediglich einen Github-Account und ein caravan_park.svg als neues Icon

Habe dir mal geschrieben
Wirklich? Es geht doch präzise um das tag tourism=caravan_site
In der Wiki-Seite dazu steht an erster Stelle als Definition “caravans”:
[…] is a place where people with caravans / motorhomes / recreational vehicles can stay overnight […]
OSM benutzt British English als Sprachreferenz für die Tags und dort bedeutet laut Wiktionary der Begriff caravan [2.] genau diese Anhänger:
- (Australia, UK, New Zealand, South Africa) A furnished vehicle towed behind a car, etc., and used as a dwelling when stationary.
Erst unter “Synonyms” werden die Wohnmobile (RVs im US-Amerikanischen) genannt:
Synonyms: (US) camper, recreational vehicle, RV, (US) trailer, travel trailer
Also ich empfinde die aktuelle Symbol-Wahl durchaus als passend. Wenn man das ändern wollte, sollte man es wohl mit der internationalen Community (in Englisch) besprechen.
Edit after the merger of threads.
This uprooting of answers from the original thread is a little bit confusing for me. My answer has literally been taken out of context 
PS. As and addition to my arguments: Even the US-English language uses the term trailer as synonym, so a pictogram of a trailer also supports their (US) mnemonics.
