Doorbell on a motorhome: readers' opinions
Original source: Le Monde du Camping-Car

The French publication Le Monde du Camping-Car asked its Facebook and Instagram followers whether a doorbell on a motorhome is an absurd idea. Opinions were divided: some called it useless, others noted its practicality, and a few have already installed such a device. The question arose after a post about the American motorhome Foretravel Grand Villa, which is equipped with a doorbell.

Experienced Motorhome Owner's Perspective on Travel

A 79-year-old reader of Camping-Car Magazine with extensive motorhome travel experience shared his approach. He states that overnight stays do not require electricity, prefers simple free service areas, and avoids crowded locations during peak season, covering 15-16 thousand kilometers annually across France.

French Alps Tighten Wild Camping Rules

French authorities have introduced new restrictions on bivouacking, wild swimming, and camper van parking across Haute-Savoie and the Écrins massif in 2026, citing overtourism and environmental damage. In the Contamines-Montjoie reserve, bivouacking is banned below 2,500 meters from June 15 to September 15, with swimming and boating prohibited year-round. In the Aiguilles Rouges reserves, the reservation season for bivouacking has been extended from June 1 to September 30. In the Écrins National Park, bivouacking is banned within 500 meters of the shores of Lakes Lauvitel and Muzelle. Chamonix has banned wild parking for camper vans, with fines of €35.
