I've got three weeks of vacation starting th 15th september. If I have enough time I might drive down through Spain and take the ferry over to Marroco just to be able to say I've been in Africa

I havent found Spain good for wild camping of any kind. I have found quiet places, but the ground is always bumpy, stony and difficult for pitching a tent.
There is a warning above about security in "Aires", especially in the South, which is worth remembering, of course. However, in my experience, I've never known a problem. But I'm always out of sight, and I use an infra red movement alarm near the tent - but it has never gone off. The aires in north and central France are more wooded than those further south.
If you prefer, use wild camping off the road. If you look for your hidden campsite about 1 hour before sunset, that should be enough. I'm sure you have developed an eye for this in Norway.
If you MUST pay for accommodation, the cheapest is usually Formule 1, a chain of cheapie motel things. Around 30 Euros for a room of 3 beds. But I'm sure you'd rather put that money towards petrol.
Bonne route!
