Hello
A question from a motorhome newbie.
I have a friend who runs a pub in Bucks: no good for a motorhome stopover as she has virtually no car park, however, the lane which runs alongside the pub, is unrestricted and frankly that's where most of her customers park.
I would love to take the van up to visit her - if I park up on the lane and just sleep there, am I likely to get moved on anywhere? Rather not be woken in the middle of the night by the police or anyone else.

Hi Janet
Well this is something we would do/have done. However, there is a whole can of worms here with regards to laws and legislation - being in charge of a vehicle while intoxicated, obstruction on the highway, to name but two!

The problem would be that if you were asked to move on by the police and you were over the alcohol limit then you would be in a difficult situation.
All in all probably not recommended but I sure many of us have done this after we have weighed up the pros and cons.
I am sure other members will have something to contribute to this post
