Converted van vs. motorhome: parking, insurance... what you are (really) allowed to do

The article clarifies the regulatory differences between converted vans and motorhomes, focusing on homologation, insurance, and parking. In France, over 15,000 new vans were registered between August 2024 and 2025, surpassing motorhome registrations. Key distinctions include the mandatory VASP homologation for vans with fixed living amenities, stricter insurance requirements, and different toll and parking rules, where vans often face fewer restrictions than motorhomes.
