How The French Do It

The C.L.C. (Le Comité de Liaison du Camping-Car) are still active in the courts perusing municipalities who attempt to ban the parking of motorhomes.
La Rochelle is the latest to be ordered by the court to remove parking signs which discriminate against motorhomes. SEE HERE give it a moment and Google will translate.

We really do need a similar concerted approach here which involves both club and trade interests.
Success against the likes of Galway and others who seek to deny motorhome users their right to park in a manner afforded to other EU Category M1 Vehicles (vehicles with not more than 8 passenger seats - 'cars', 'SUV's', 'MPV's', etc) could only be good for motorhome users, tourism and the trade.

It's also our loss, as we can't travel and explore the country we live in, or at least not without being made feel like we are doing something wrong.

I think MHC is the only circus in town where you have members from probably all of the clubs and Trade interests logging on. I also think Motorhome owners are a spineless group in general, if Issues don't hit their pocket they aren't bothered. I hope I am proven wrong! The annoying thing is there are a hell of a lot is out there spread across every County in the Country and with an Election coming up we should have something in place to lobby all the canvassers coming to our doors.
If we attack this with a united front there is no reason why we cannot improve the plight of Irish and European Motorhome owners Holidaying in Ireland.

I think we have enough numbers, just not committed Numbers. If the New government doubled the cost of Motorhome Tax and hit peoples pockets then you would have commitment Just like the anti Water protesters.
