Add an icon for campervans
It's not clear whether campervans (e.g. a VW AutoSleeper) are classed as a motorhome or a tourer (which is what? A caravan?) or whether they are not allowed at all.

A tourer is a touring caravan. Normally we find that campervans are accepted where motorhomes are. Do you find many campsite owners make this distinction?

Yes, they do. Depends on the type of licence they are holding.
Mostly bc they differenciate between self contained bigger RV which are heavier, need EHU, fresh and grey water on hard standing and more natural and lightweight tent camping on nice grassy spots with sanitary facilities.
With campervans, landies etc we are a chimera: we need the loo and showers, like to live outside and feel more like tent campers (albeit with a metallic tent) than any motorhome.
I never feel comfy when I need to pitch next to a huge white RV and am very happy when I am allowed to park on the tent grass field.
So the probs start when the CV is not self contained. -

Yes. The kind of sites we favour (smaller eco sites and farmers fields) are happy with smaller campers but don't like or cannot accommodate (due to access restrictions) larger motorhomes.
