Offensive slogans printed on campervans including the Wicked Campers fleet could be banned from parts of northern NSW.

A motion to wipe the "usually sexist" slogans off the vans, or to ban the vans from using council caravan parks, has been lodged by Byron Bay Shire councillor Duncan Dey and supported by Ballina Shire councillor Robyn Hordern.

"Councillors will have seen the Wicked slogans over the years. We were relieved at one stage by many of the vans being taken off the road when found unroadworthy. They seem to have then returned, with the slogans even more offensive than before," Mr Dey said in a motion lodged ahead of a council meeting on Thursday.
