it was a tongue in cheek reply to post#22 not a serious suggestionConverted by whom? Would you include Possl, IH and numerous other manufacturers? And then there are small outfits that convert to a customers order, right down to Joe Blogs doing it himself in his back garden.
Very difficult to differentiate.
Having converted five vans myself and read the horror stories of folks on here who have bought 'professionally' built one I think you may have a wrong impression of 'self builds'.Maybe they ought to ban converted vans as well ?

Some CCP Aires allow caravans during high season only. Details are shown on the App and at the entrance to the Aire.A lot of Stellaplatz in Germany allow caravans but they are not permitted on Aires in France.
Thank you, I'm glad you realise that there are good and bad in both scenarios.See post #34 above
The site in Archena is huge, at least in comparison to most sites, and if one couple choose to winter there wether in a motorhome or caravan it's really not going to change anything. Massive Concords or motorhomes with trailers are more of an inconvenience I find. But whichever, live and let live is my motto...There's an old couple that spend all winter on the motorhome parking at Archena. They bring their caravan and set it up for the duration. They aren't Spanish! They come from cold Germany, to save on their heating, I expect!
The authorities are to blame for not "policing" these "parking" places. Whilst people get away with what they're doing, they'll continue to do so.
Some of us abide by the regulations (especially when we have a ESP registered van) because we should know the rules

And they can afford to stay on campsites.Motorhomes which are the size of single decker buses are also a pita
They often tow cars too .
Big is bad

There should be a 7m limit.
What's being able to afford campsites or not got to do with using airs?And they can afford to stay on campsites.

Head the comment more than once from French motorhomers
I guess they have a 6.9m I would ban anything less than 7m as really it's just a waste of a decent parking spaceWhat’s your rationale for defining that size limit?

Just saying.
Probably because they they occupy two spaces (and for the price of one).What's the problem with caravans parking on an Aire, I know it's supposed to be against the rules but why ?
Lots of Caravans do not have the facilities that a MH has is a probable one.What's the problem with caravans parking on an Aire, I know it's supposed to be against the rules but why ?

Most caravans IV seen have all the facilities, probably far more than some of the mattress in a van setups.Lots of Caravans do not have the facilities that a MH has is a probable one.
An Aire invariable doesn’t provide a large enough pitch is another.
Motorhomes generally move on but a Caravaner lingers in one spot.
Caravans definitely abuse the Rule, No camping behaviour.
I could go on.
OK not that frequently, a few times over the years, but we've even seen tuggers reversing into a pitch, disconnecting the towing hook-up cable and dropping their steadies / jockey wheel as they were only staying overnight. Not even using their water / waste hogs but just a couple of collapsible buckets.Most caravans IV seen have all the facilities, probably far more than some of the mattress in a van setups.
A small caravan and car is smaller than these palace things towing a trailer or car.
Caravans can be moved on just as easily as a motorhome.
What camping would they get up to that you can't in a motorhome?
I could go on.
None of the above reasons makes any sense that caravans are any different than motorhomes.
In France probably to prevent the 'Gens du voyage', some may have to Google that.What's the problem with caravans parking on an Aire, I know it's supposed to be against the rules but why ?
But more and more of them are using motorhomes so they may have to amend their strategy!In France probably to prevent the 'Gens du voyage', some may have to Google that.
They have their own sites, very little need of an Aire.In France probably to prevent the 'Gens du voyage', some may have to Google that.
