Some of us in many occasions mistaken and obstinately, confuse motor caravaning activities with "motor-camping" ignoring completely elementary rules, applying to itinerant motor-caravaning, negletting in the process, that their actions will bring the discriminatory pursuance, fines and restrictions, resulting in a bad immage, consequence of a censurable elements minority.

Besides, the infringement of established legal applicable normatives, we are as well, projecting over everyone the anathema of motor-caravaners, misbehaviour.

LEAVE THE CAMPING TO THE CAMPING PARKS!

Forcibly, we have to understand and ALL gain conscience, that openning awnings, placing tables and chairs everywhere, should only be done in the camping parks. We guess, it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid?

MOTOR-CARAVANING CAN NOT BE SYNONYMOUS OF «MOTOR-CAMPING»

Legally, a motor-caravan is entitled to run and park in public ways, exactly as defined by the code of the road, applicable to light vehicles.

However, we can not mix parking and camping. For camping, we use camping parks. When parking, we must adopt a form where external zones of our vehicle, nothing else, other than the wheels, are in contact with the soil .
