Motorhome Code
When using a dry powder extinguisher it is
suggested that the motorhome be evacuated
until the powder has settled, to avoid
inhalation.
Unless permission has been granted,
barbecues should not be used. If permission
is given, consideration should be given to
the annoyance that can be caused to other
users of the site.
Open fires are not allowed.
Awnings and Tents
Awnings and tents should only be used
when permission has been obtained.
When on grass and staying for more than a
few days, the ground sheet and/or side flaps
of awnings should be periodically raised in
order to avoid damage to the ground.
Departure
Leave the pitch clean and tidy.
On leaving, check out with reception paying
the required fees.
WILD CAMPING
Camping away from licensed sites, without
the permission from the land owner or his
agents, is not allowed in the United
Kingdom.
When permission has been granted, all
aspects of this Code should be adhered to.
On no account should:
(a) Litter be disposed of other than in the
receptacles provided.
(b) Water be allowed to escape from the
vehicle.
(c) Chemical toilets be emptied except into
the disposal places agreed with the land
owner.
(d) Washing or similar be hung outside the
vehicle.
PARKING
Motorhomes should only be parked in
approved places.
When using the facilities of a motorhome,
care and consideration should be given to
those around them.
DRIVING
When using a motorhome on either the
public highway or private roads the Highway
Code should be complied with and full
consideration given to other road users.
In the event of a motorhome travelling slowly
the driver of the motorhome should, where
possible, pull over in order to let other traffic
pass.
When the vehicle is in motion it is
compulsory for all front seat passengers to
wear seat belts and strongly recommended
for rear seated passengers, where fitted.
Before moving off, elevated roofs and aerials
should be lowered and correctly secured,
and top hinged windows closed. Likewise all
doors and access lockers for gas containers
and chemical toilets must be properly
secured.
Exterior steps should be properly retracted
and secured.
When refuelling or on a ferry ensure the
gas system is fully isolated at source.
HANDBOOK
Before using a motorhome all aspects of the
handbooks, produced by the chassis
manufacturer and the converter, must be
read and adhered to.
The separate chassis manufacturer
handbook refers to your motorhome chassis
and base vehicle.
ENVIRONMENT
Care and consideration should be taken to
protect the environment.
Observe the Country and Coastal Codes
shown overleaf.
