The essential law for motor home
owners is the Road Traffic Act
(1972) and the regulations
that followed.
Gas
It is strongly recommended that the
fridge is run off car electrics whilst
the vehicle is in motion.This is
because of the potential risk of
explosion and fire risk of naked
flames near refuelling points. It is
also recommended that all other
gas appliances are turned off whilst
the vehicle is in motion.
Highway
Open land up to 14 m from the
highway is technically part of the
highway. It is an offence to drive
more than this distance onto a
common and overnight parking on
many commons is expressly
forbidden.With the exception of
motorways, parking on a roadside
verge within 14 m of the road is not
an offence. However, if an
obstruction is caused, the police
may bring prosecution.
A lay-by is part of the highway and
a motor home owner stopping
over night may be prosecuted
for obstruction.
The above is for guidance only and
is correct at the time of printing.
Always make sure you park your
vehicle only where permitted.
