Alghero fines motorhome owner for turning parking into camping
Original source: Algherolive - News della città e del territorio

Local police in Alghero fined a motorhome owner at least €500 for turning a parking spot into unauthorized camping. The violation occurred near Don Bosco church: the owner had set up an awning, placed tables and chairs, and lowered the stabilizers. Under Article 185 of the Highway Code, a motorhome is considered parked only if it rests on its wheels, does not occupy more space than the vehicle itself, and discharges nothing. Otherwise, it is classified as camping, which is strictly prohibited in urban areas and protected zones.

Italian court clarifies rules for motorhome parking and overnight stays

A recent administrative court ruling in Italy has reinforced the legal distinction between parking a motorhome and illegal camping. According to Article 185 of the Italian Highway Code, a motorhome is treated like any other vehicle when parked, as long as it rests only on its wheels, does not discharge waste, and does not extend its footprint with awnings or furniture. Sleeping inside a legally parked vehicle is permitted, but transforming the parking spot into a campsite is prohibited and subject to regional laws that typically ban free camping outside designated areas.
