Parking orders may well allow HGV drivers to stop and sleep but at the same time ban similar activities by motorhome drivers.

HGV drivers are governed by law on how many hours spent driving and have to take time off.
MH/RV/van or car drivers are not restricted or governed by the same laws. They can drive as many hours as they like. Far more sensible though to allow a driver of either of these vehicles to park up and sleep than carry on until they fall asleep at the wheel and run into the back of someone.
As long as people use a bit of common sense and park up their MH or car without causing obstruction, i really cannot see what all the fuss is about.
All Motorway service areas should openly encourage this yet many don't. Think of the increase in trade as well.
