Overnight campers' action

Well I can't see sites showing on the Internet as virtual reality venues quite yet or receiving our pitch in that eBay/Amazon delivery white van. Might make the start of a good plot for Black Mirror though.

quite the opposite TW, after having a very public facing role for many years, and having to contend with them for many hours per day, whilst driving a 56+ seater vehicle, i consider myself to be a very placid type of guy who gets along with most people, providing they are respectful and considerate, most MH's fit this bill 

Beware not the motorhomes but the motorhomers within them!

The street is a dead end, not a thoroughfare. The only people who use it are residents and their occasional visitors. Most of whom respect the fact that it is easily blocked by thoughtless individuals, and park either on their own drives or in such a manner that others who live here are not inconvenienced. My personal “inconvenience” was a dislocated shoulder that had me walking an extra 50 metres to reach an ambulance that couldn’t get through. Anyone who has ever experienced a total dislocation will understand perfectly just how desperately I needed that ambulance full of Entonox. All because some selfish illegitimate wanted to save a couple of pounds in car park fees. 

Parking by residents, who respect one another, is possible for a time. You just don’t block access for others, or go out leaving vehicle for a long time. Yellow lines wouldn’t help, it would require someone to police it, which won’t happen. 

let me explain!reduced number of customers,same running costs,profit turns to loss,business closes!!

This is a copied photo of some of the problems in the city where my previously mentioned relative lives. The nearby cemetery toilet facilities are used by the van dwellers. The reason for the increased use of vans for habitation is quoted as the local cost of housing. Caravans can be moved on apparently but not motorhomes. One area of the city has had parking restrictions added due to this type of parking, the residents now have to hunt around each day for parking places, often several streets away.

Difficult times for all concerned. The issue of long stay parking in "nice" places by the coast etc could be seasonal or it could become more fixed as with these inner city problems. Residential costs rise and people find their own solutions.

This is being replicated in many places, the rest of us, who have a choice need to behave responsibly regarding when and where we park our motorhomes.

Thanks for explaining that the impression you were creating isn’t the reality. 👍🏻

CY agreed a couple should not be a big deal, but unfortunately this escalates, and from the now two you get 6, you get 1 bad egg, who pee's in the hedge, leaves his rubbish in the hedge, or worse throws it into the nature reserve, leaves his burnt out BBQ on the beach and then everybody is tarred with the same brush, dont get me wrong it is not just MH owners who do this, and in some cases they get the blame just because they have been there a couple of days, and dare i say it, we do seem to attract some of the less attractive MH's whose occupants could be the most charming of people but their mode of transport does not look that great, so people do sometimes form the wrong opinion. I do cycle this area a lot and we have a family Beach House at Tichfield so i see what i see. You should have seen how many MH's we had the night of the Cowes firework display to mark the end of Cowes week, but in all fairness i walked the area the day after and in the main it was left very clean, but the numbers did upset a few people, primarily because they had camped there for a couple of days and bagged all the best spots
