Just had our first trip away in our campervan. Stopped at the beach carpark on the way home and wanted to make a cup of tea using our gas cooker. The carpark was empty as it was the end of the day but we didn't know if this was illegal. Obviously it would be reckless to light up in a busy carpark but when no-one else is around is it actually illegal? Thanks in anticipation of any help.

Regarding Continental truckers.
They are an absolute disgrace - we've pulled up alongside them on Motorway Aires and the smell of bacon, sausages and fresh brewed coffee lingering in the air as they cook their meals at the side of their trucks is so tempting and enjoyable - and all we have is a brew of tea and a few ginger biscuits!
It's enough to make you stay in the UK - but not quite enough!
And as Triky mentions - how they get away with drinking wine and then driving is most unjust to us sober Brits.

When touring you will often see the continental truckers set up their cooking facilities on the running board or a nearby camping table ,then all the other truckers join in and they all cook their meals and eat outside,complete with bottles of wine etc etc .It's just the done thing !!
