You're entitled to your opinion DD but the facts may well prove you wrong.

Parking orders may well allow HGV drivers to stop and sleep but at the same time ban similar activities by motorhome drivers. That is especially the case in towns where overnight sleeping might be restricted to certain vehicle parks - and then allowed only for HGV drivers.

There are a number of parking orders accessible via my web site but, alternatively, you could always ask authorities for copies of their orders to check for yourself.
