Yes, they can, but unless you do something really stupid like try to drive it is really very unlikely, they have to have a due cause or a suspicion at least, or half of this lot on here would be in the tower.
Det varierar från år till år. Åker inte långresa varje år.
A chap i know was charged for drunk in charge even though he was fast asleep in the back seat.
Our son and family who live on Guernsey used to have a VW camper for exactly this reason. They were forever getting caught out with Condor ferries (especially the high speed ferry) cancelling. We’ve been stuck on Guernsey several times with the car but no hardship as we simply go back to son’s house!!

Of course, it's not as simple as that.
Apart from touring the country it is great to attend events - rallies, race meetings etc. and sit in comfort eating a meal at the end ( or during the event) while the crowd disappears, to provide for a leisurely crowd free departure. While cost is in the equation, for me, quality of life is high up in the value of the ‘van.
Well, that's me told!!!Once you've owned a camper or moho and actually used it more than once or twice a year, then it's only if you aren't completely bitten by "the bug" would you be ever likely to ask this question.
Either that or you're a blinkin' accountant!!!
I have never looked at our campers as a "financial asset". I understand that everybody's personal, financial and life circumstances differ, but what a camper is worth in cold £££ is (happily!) irrelevant to us now. Plus it hasn't cost us a massive amount of money in relative terms, so not an especially huge chunk of money "tied up" in it, especially with the high cost of most new things in today's world. And hopefully our latest "old" camper will outlive me.
Owning a moho or camper is the bee's knees to me, and in so many different, pleasurable and useful ways.
You can't put a £££ price on that.
If you're even asking yourself the question, and you're still physically capable of driving a moho/camper, and can afford to do so, then maybe the pastime is not such a big deal for you, and you are right to be contemplating the £££ "value for money" aspect and considering "getting rid"?
I have known many people over the years who have parted with things that gave them immense pleasure, but only because they've been forced to due to financial constraints (sudden change in circumstances - marriage, children, divorce, life in general... !).
But if you're not facing any of those situations, what's the point of the question...?
I’m guessing we use ours a bit differently to most! It’s used often, pretty much year round but with the exception of a couple of trips a year elsewhere, it’s mostly only a few hundred yards!
I’m sure with your Irish gift of the gab you could sell them an outboard for the back of their van, just incase
