If you are the proud owner of a motorhome you will be well aware that finding somewhere to park your motorhome can sometimes be a challenge especially if you have not planned ahead and already booked your overnight accommodation well in advance.

There will be quite a few motorhome owners who decide to take a weekend break at the last moment. It may be due to a change in the weather forecast over the next two or three days with beautiful warm, sunny weather forecast.

If you are one of these motorhome owners then you really do need to be careful where you park your motorhome overnight especially if it is not at a good quality campsite. If you are going to park in a layby then do make sure there are no signs stating that you are not allowed to do so as you do not want to end up getting a fine especially in the current economic climate.

If you are doing some wild camping then make sure that you do not upset the landowner. Also make sure that your motorhome is secure if you have to leave it perhaps to go for a walk. Have you got say a steering wheel lock or a lock to secure one of the wheels? Do you have a good alarm and/or engine immobilizer fitted?

If you are used to enjoying a few days by the costs perhaps parking along the seafront, you only have to look on Google News to find that there are an increasing number of councils that are banning motorhomes from parking on roads and car parks by say the beach. Apparently, there are quite a few residents in seaside towns who have complained about motorhomes being parked outside their homes sometimes blocking drives.

So, try to do your research before setting off in your motorhome to find a suitable, safe place to park your motorhome overnight. Remember, you may have invested many thousands of pounds in purchasing your leisure vehicle.
