Firefighters extinguish camper van blaze on M6 near Lancaster

From July 6, motorhomes and campervans in Saltburn, England, will be restricted to marked bays on the north side of Marine Parade between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday, with a four-hour limit. Outside these hours and on Sundays, no time restrictions apply. Parking in unmarked areas with single yellow lines is prohibited at all times.

Modern caravans have become more comfortable, with luxury models costing over £120,000.
