Return Ferry Bookings

We are off to France soon but have seen mention that proof of return ferry/tunnel booking dates have to be shown on entry to France - have any recent travellers experienced this? As with many previous occasions, we have only booked the outward journey because we don't have any set plans on return time (five to six weeks usually).

Any shared recent experiences welcome!

Thanks for your experiences/thoughts everyone.

I think I'll stick with the original (one-way) plan. Like Tammygirl, I hardly think caravanners/motorhomers are targets for this sort of request. Also buoyed by Eurotraveller's French government quote "return ticket OR financial means" - so how do we cover that one, sportsbag full of used euro notes? Ha!

Not sure how that carries any proof either. What is the limit on the card? What is the spendable balance? How much have you got in your bank account?

Absolute nonsense dreamed up by jobsworths Brussels and Whitehall bureaucrats with nothing better to do and no idea of the real world.

I can’t see checks as particularly likely, folk turning up with expensive MH’s and caravan rigs are likely to  want to bring them back. However, I assume if there was any question they could run a credit check on you or your OH, in the same way as happens if you want to take out a loan. 
If they wanted to know where we are stopping it would prove more difficult. I wonder which one of the 20 sites / Aires  we hadn’t yet decided to stop on they would accept.😂
