For years and years I have wandered around Europe in my van of the day staying off-site mostly and away from the masses.
Occasionally I have reasons to join other motorhomers, as I have this week, at places like Silves, a motorhome friendly town which allows vans to park on a large parking area in winter when it is not needed by tourists.
There are no rules or regulations or wardens or arrival/departure times here.
You arrive, find a space, park up and live.
If there is no room you go off and find somewhere else.
Now...
I always HATE seeing people "reserve" their place by putting out water bottles or tables and chairs while they go off for the day. I think it is totally against the spirit of "Off-Siting" and it drives me mad. It is NOT "their pitch" and they have no right to stop anyone else parking there if they are not present.
However... today I need to pop 300 metres down the road to empty my tanks and fill up with water.
It is very busy and in the 30 minutes I will be gone I am almost certain to lose my (great) position.
I am thinking of breaking my own rule and putting out my excutive bike chained to the World's Most Comfortable Chair to keep the spot.
If I do this dreadful deed will I be banned from going to heaven?
What should I do?
