Italian law does not prohibit permanent residence in a motorhome, but requires three parking conditions under Article 185 of the 1992 Highway Code. The vehicle must rest on the road only on its wheels, without auxiliary jacks, must not discharge any waste other than exhaust, and must not extend beyond its own dimensions with awnings, steps or open windows. Discharging wastewater onto roads or public areas carries a fine of 87 to 344 euros, with Article 255 of the Environmental Code applied in serious cases. To register a residence, a person must obtain no-fixed-abode status in the municipality where their main interests are centred.
