What is the legal situation about parking my van on the street.

It makes sense to me to find a quiet parking spot for the night to get my head down. As I'm of the less is more school, I wouldn't have a TV blaring or generator blatting away all night. I would only use heating in the winter and that's silent anyway. Once the blinds are down, nobody would know I'm there. I park my van on the public road just outside my house and there never has been a problem with that.

My van is a small one, 4.6m in length.

I'm not mad keen on camping sites and there are not too many aires in Ireland, yet.

What do people think?

As long as you are abiding by parking restrictions I don't see any issue. It is classed as a Motor vehicle and therefore there should be exactly the same laws if you were to park a car.

There are places with ByLaws stating no sleeping in vehicles, but as you say if no one knows your in there?
