  • the offence is defined SOLELY by being inside with occupants between 22:00 and 07:00: the vehicle may be legally parked and the penalty is imposed all the same
  • applies only if there is NO municipal regulation (the municipal rule displaces the national one)
  • only if the motorhome is TYPE-APPROVED BY THE IMT: this leaves the campervan registered as a van in a grey area
