Size and weight of pitches in Chapter
Minimum surface area: Permanent pitches have a minimum surface area of between 50 and 80 square metres, depending on the classification (1, 2, 3 or 4).

Length and weight limits (general considerations)
Length: pitches in serviced areas usually support motorhomes of up to about 8-10 metres in length, with pitches having lengths of at least 10-12 metres to allow for easy parking.
Weight: in the absence of specific regulations, pitches are assumed to be suitable for vehicles with a maximum weight generally around 3.5-7 tonnes, depending on the type of motor home (motorhome, caravan, etc.) and the capacity of the pitches.
Practical considerations
For large or heavy motorhomes, it is important to check directly with the parking area operator or manager to avoid exceeding the structural and safety capacities of the pitch, especially in the case of specialised or exceptional vehicles.
Reservations and information: in order to confirm maximum dimensions and specific restrictions, please contact the Millennium area directly or consult the official websites and notes of motor home associations.
