Close enough for you?
I'm not following a link to the Daily Mail, but in any case you seem to be confused and are repeatedly contradicting yourself. I'll leave you to work out where you're going wrong for yourself.

£2000 fine for each person if they get in to the UK on your vehicle. Good job that lady was around.
If they were hiding under mine they would be scraped off at the first speed bump its that low,,BUSBY,,:D:D

A group of them gassed me, stole my iPad and €2000 in cash last time I was in France in the van
What about your Rolex and the wife's didn't they take them as well.

Stayed at Citie Europe a couple of weeks ago and great. Police circled the park about every hour. Just have a look under your motorhome before you leave- advice from border officer!

Or find some 'sleeping policemen' to drive over - not much clearance under a van chassis

Something akin to a sheep dip would work just as well and stop any nasty EU germs crossing the Channel.

We would have no problems with illegals if we immediately returned them to the last country they came from i.e. France and then The French did the same ,,, not so easy to do with genuine refugees from war zones but for economic refugees if they were returned to their own country it would put off others,,,,,,BUSBY,,,,,,,:D2:D2yr,,

If they are genuine refugees they will have registered as asylum seekers in the first EU country in which they arrived.
Unless that country didn't want to deal with this problem and so shepherds them onto the next country and the next country also adopts the same tactic and so on and so on with the end result of tens of thousands of migrants in camps in places like Calais, Dunkerque etc.

On our way back at the end of July, we wanted to call in at the "Friterie des Nations", and to check out the new campsite next to the new aire (for my son). The large car park at the western end of Digue Gaston Berthe had the height barriers open, and several motorhomes parked. We joined them, and considered overnighting, but we went on to Cité Europe for other reasons. I don't know whether the height barriers are going to be left open? It occurred to us that maybe Calais authorities recognise that the new aire is insufficient for the needs of the many motorhomes visiting the town - it holds 20? but we've seen over five times that at the old aire (well, including when they opened up the car park next to it to motorhomes!)
Calais beach font is an under-appreciated location: the beach is fantastic, the "buzz" can be great, and there are food outlets to suit every taste and pocket. (I'm particularly pleased that the Côte d'Argent has survived the disruption)

The photo might answer your question, the height barrier is still open but its now daytime parking only. :(

Visited the area a few days ago and the 'Friterie des Nations' has now been moved along the seafront road midway between the large car park at the western end and where it used to be.
No waiting for motorhome signs all along that road now.
