1.4 Motorhome manners
1.4.1 General principles
Good motorhome owners are discreet and should be careful not to leave any trace of their stay. Good manners, respect for others
and protecting the environment are values that everyone, including Motorhome owners, should abide by. The use of a motorhome as
accommodation implies respecting the rules with regard to the inhabitants of those places visited.
1.4.2 Parking
In town centres or urban areas, it is advisable to park in areas that are not densely populated, that do not impair visibility, nor prevent
businesses from operating and where the size of the motorhome will not obstruct traffic. Likewise, using motorhomes as accommodation
should take place in such areas:
•
without spreading to the area around the vehicle
•
without causing inconvenience to residents
•
without monopolising the public area
•
without allowing pets to run riot, foul or otherwise disturb the neighbours
1.4.3 Waste
Wastewater emptying must take place:
•
In appropriate places and never near to housing, rivers, streams or crops.
•
emptying of 'black' waste (toilet) into the rain water drainage network is strictly prohibited.
All water drainage valves must be closed whilst travelling. It is always worth checking the facilities in each location for properly disposing of
wastewater. Household rubbish must be placed in plastic bags and disposed of in designated places.
By observing all of these common-sense rules, everyone may fully enjoy the multitude of pleasures provided by the
passion for motorhomes.
