Before booking

Where can I stop with my motorhome?

In France, motorhomes may be parked wherever conventional vehicles may be parked, as long as no external equipment (awnings, steps, wedges, etc.) is installed. Any restrictions are always indicated by the local authorities.

For your overnight stops, we recommend that you opt for safe and suitable places, such as :

  • Campsites, which often offer additional services (electricity, sanitary facilities, etc.)
  • Motorhome parking or service areas, specially designed for leisure vehicles.

Avoid sleeping at motorway service areas for safety reasons.

To plan your stops, you can consult specialised websites or use mobile applications such as Caramaps, where other travellers share recommended places to spend the night.

How does the electricity work on board the motorhome?

In a van, camper van or motorhome, you'll have electricity in the cell at all times, both when driving and when stationary. The auxiliary battery will power the lights and USB sockets via a 12-volt electrical circuit. The auxiliary battery can be recharged in several ways: while driving (600 km for a full charge), using solar panels or by connecting the motorhome to the electricity grid.
The auxiliary battery is fragile. It is known as a "slow-discharge battery". You must be careful never to discharge it completely, otherwise it will no longer recharge, or recharge poorly. What's more, if you accidentally discharge the cell battery completely, nothing will work in the living area of the motorhome. So goodbye: lighting, telephone recharging, hot water, fridge (even if it runs on gas, the piezo is electric)... Take care.

You'll find 220-volt sockets in the motorhome, but these will only work if the vehicle is connected to the power supply (socket or electrical terminal).

How and where to drain the waste waters?

Motorhomes can be emptied at motorhome service areas, which can be found at campsites and supermarket service stations. Many communes now offer a service area for motor caravans. Grey and black water must be emptied into the appropriate systems.

When you leave, we'll explain how the system works.
