My American wife Cynthia thinks she may have found a solution to staying in the Schengan group of countries for longer than 90 days. Here's what she's found on a French consulate website...

American family members of european passport holders
Please note that you do not need any visa to enter and live in France for longer than 3 months if :
you hold a valid U.S. passport
and you are the legal spouse (marriage certificate) or child (under 18y.o.) of a citizen of the above listed countries
and you are accompanying your spouse / parent who is also moving to France.
However, you will have to apply for the residence permit ("carte de séjour pour membre de famille d’un ressortissant européen") within 2 months of entry into France, at the Préfecture of city of residence. Note that it is always advisable to contact the Préfecture BEFORE leaving the U.S., in order to get a complete list of documents to provide to apply for such permit.

I am concerned about the final paragraph. How do motorhome owners deal with this as they are not in a full time residence? Any ideas?
