I normally get the 9pm Euro Tunnel and fill up with Diesel at Auchen while it's quiet then nip over the road into the big car park, no problems after 4 times doing this.
CE was a disaster I wasted so much time looking for a way in to the fuel stop I won't bother in future.
Why do they have height restrictions ?

we are travelling via Chunnel first time with MH next week but we're on the lunchtime "sailing" so don't need an overnight this side but on return we will be on an early morning train so need an overnight around Calais.
Would Cite Europe be suitable or is there something else closer/better for the Chunnel? Just looking at Google maps and I can see the terminal but can't work out which parking area is CE
Sorry for hijacking the thread

head for Cite Europe, and when you get there from the Calais direction, go first left (cinema should be on the right after the roundabout), then about 100m on the left is the MH parking.

As far as I know, the only motorhoming Oxford United supporter in Bognor.
People have been known to use the "pet passport" car park at the chunnel to overnight.

we used the pet passport car park once,be warned ,when you go through customs they will ask you where you stayed the night if you tell them the pet passport car park they will open up every locker in the motorhome to check for stowaways.
They said it is the worst place to stay for itinerants trying to get a free crossing.

They did this to us last time we used DFDS from Calais and we had stayed in Belgium overnight .........is Belgium such a bad place to be? Well ok the motorways are bad. Last time we drove through we "jumped" into Belgium as they had stopped the resurfacing work at the border and left a step of a few cm's

Slightly O/T, but Auchan in Angouleme don't allow overnights (we were told to leave in no uncertain terms, although we had just left a restaurant and were leaving anyway )
But in Bordeaux they do, maybe because there are many retailers sharing the parking, so a different security firm?
Just don't assume you can park in all Auchans
