Great video! I’ve done this dozens of times in Premier Inn, Village Hotel and Holiday Inn’s and never had an issue. I always keep it ‘stealthy’, tuck my van away in a corner and I’ve never had an issue. It’s a great way to visit a town or city particularly if the park up is out of town and near a park and ride. Also useful when I need to break up a long journey. I always check it states that overnight parking is allowed and that there’s no mention of sleeping in vehicles being prohibited 😊

This brought back memories of when I was a contractor. I used to park my van exactly the way you parked. I had one small window on the offside behind the driver seat, else it was stealthy. I would go into the hotel with the other contractors and put my reg in the parking system for the hotel. I never had a knock. Cheeky, but it worked and it saved me loads of money.

Hello Daren. I was put onto a similar app the other week called your parking space. being the law abiding person I am, I called a premier inn to see if parking in their car park over night in my camper through the app was ok and was given a stern no, lol. my preferred destination was premier inn Barry island. The local car parks are silly money during the day as it is a very popular destination and they may not be as lenient as the premier inn you were parked at. maybe easier during off season but anywhere near tourist destinations during high season you may not be as lucky? but always worth a go at £2 or so a night

I live in France and I have found that you need a UK phone number to access the Parking app, but it does except a French number plate. For those of us living in another country I would get a cheap UK SIM card so you can complete the registration payment can be made via "Google pay" or a bank card. Thank you for showing this app we may visit the UK now before we always avoided going because the camp site fees where so expensive and at times hard to book due to them being full or booked for months in advance.

Parked up on a nice estate with parking bays in the corner, most empty. Near a bridge to a shopping centre. No permits or signs. Saw the curtains twitch from a house a few bays down, which had a vehicle in it. Popped out and coming back from the bridge this chap came flying out of his house at me saying it was private, residents only parking. I said I have known the area for 30 years and never seen a sign or permit and he then said it was just something that was common sense and he'd report me. Who to I have no idea. He then got right up close to me and said don't come back here. I actually reported him to the non-urgent police line incase anything happens in the future. Was my first interaction like that, can't let it put us off though right.

I’ve got 220ah of lithium and in the winter without solar , sitting and not moving would last minimum 7 days with general consumption, tv lights charging phones drone WiFi etc, since having and using diesel heater , power is now lasting 3-4 days MAX! 4 if I’m lucky, so it is I find quite power hungry, I’m still happy with it though it’s great! How do you find it Darren ? Unlike me though you’re always moving aren’t you ? So may not notice we you’ll always be Charging as you move!

Used to stop in the car park on a regular basis at Gargrave which was shared with the premier inn and the Anchor pub . However on park for night someone stated premier inn was stopping campervans, however after I spoke to the landlord of the Anchor we used the car park many times. Often in the Anchor staff would say you cannot stop over, however the landlord always let us. Until premier in put up cameras with time restrictions. Which was a shame as we would have a few drinks,a meal each then back in for breakfast. We used to joke it was like stopping all inclusive.

Best to do this BEFORE you arrive at these park-ups, other wise, if you turn up to an ANPR cark park, it'll clock you [your reg] for the three hour max (or whatever). Because once that happens, then it's an automatic parking fine if you stay longer. The "Your PARKING Space" app explains it nicely.
