- chocks and stabilising legs: end of parking
There is NO Belgian federal rule on sleeping in the vehicle: it is allowed if the vehicle is legally parked and the municipality does not forbid it. Highway Code (AR 01-12-1975) + municipal by-laws · verified on 2026-08-08

Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Belgium
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
- the PHYSICAL ACTION, not the fact of sleeping, is what triggers the offence
- as soon as chocks are placed behind the wheels, the legs are lowered or the awning is extended, it is already camping
