Some also have a motorhome tag.
And some, I am skeptical about.
E.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/981233122
First, the place is Wohnmobilstellplatz, i.e. motorhome place.
And then there is a road that allows camping trailers but not motorhomes.
Second, motor_vehicle=no, caravan=yes
must mean that you can push and pull you camping trailer by hand, but are not allowed
to pull it with your motorcar. This is probably not what the tagger meant to express.
Maybe you could use a conditional to say that you can only drive there if are pulling
a camping trailer.

Yes, it probably never means that you are allowed to stop you caravan on the road to
sleep in it. So why do we need the caravans tag? There are of course camp areas where
you are allowed to drive an RV, but not park it for the night, but that should be
clear from the context (whether the caravan tag is on a highway or tourism object).
