Hi All,
We are planning to take our Swift Lifestyle Motorhome to Spain via Eurotunnel this July. I plan to do about 300 miles into France the first evening,so we should be around the area of Chaumont on the A5 by about 02:00 - 03:00 in the morning. Can anybody help me with the etiquette when wanting to arrive on an Aire in the early hours of the morning.

I wouldn't reccomend it unless you know that it is a large aire where you can park up away from other users.
When parking on Aires near to the ports you expect all night arrivals.,but it is not a good idea in other places

Don't know where you live in the UK, we come from Swansea, after that we always stop one junction down on the A16 from Calais, and that was enough for us.

I actually drove all night in the end, we parked up for a couple of hours at 10:00 in the morning at a lovely Aire near Lyon. Quick bit of shut eye then continued our journey to Spain. It’s great travelling over night on the empty toll roads. We were a bit more casual coming back stopping overnight in a couple of places.
Excellent trip all round.
