Not good examples Jim. The stories linked to provide good reasons.
The story makes it clear that free parking has been scrapped because it has been abused by "camper vans parking overnight and blocking multiple spaces". Another example "that a few had spoilt it for the majority".The latest I read was on FB, Eastbourne are banning motorhomes from parking at the 2016 airshow..The ban was applied by East Sussex County Council as a result of complaints from residents. E.S.C.C has applied for, and been granted a Road Traffic Regulation Order banning motorhomes. They have applied this temporary ban "...with a view to making it permanent."

Not just motorhomes,. As the story says "all large vehicles, such as motorhomes, were excluded from the site because all the parking is on grass. If it rains, the organisers are concerned about vehicles churning up and sinking into the grass.".Motorhomes banned from Cosford Air Show
