In Brief

Ripe Motorhome Insurance warns UK tourists about eight illegal habits, including sleeping after drinking, wild camping, and overloading.

Ripe Motorhome Insurance has warned motorhome owners in the UK about eight common violations during holidays. Risks include being charged with drunk driving when sleeping in a parked motorhome if the driver is considered 'responsible' for the vehicle, overnight parking in unauthorized places, and wild camping without landowner permission in England and Wales.

Other violations include overloading, improper waste disposal, blocking emergency access, seatbelt misuse while driving, and speeding, which for heavier motorhomes may differ from cars. Stricter restrictions are in place in North Yorkshire, Cornwall, and Devon.

It previously received the AA’s Small Campsite of the Year 2023/24 and TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, and was an honourable mention in the 2024 ACSI Awards, ranking in the top five in the UK and Ireland.

The vehicle measures approximately 6.7 metres long and was originally priced at around £67,000. Production was limited to 100 units. The camper features a kitchen with a stove, microwave and refrigerator, a separate bathroom, Ultraleather seating, a large bed and sleeping space for four. The exterior bears the Supreme logo and a large red awning. Haaland ordered the camper from the United States and had it shipped overseas; in a video on his YouTube channel, he said he would use it to store his Supreme collection.
