If travelling with a campervan, caravan or van, any gas container must be declared when asked, and will be checked at the appropriate checkpoint by Eurotunnel.

Transport of gas containers to power domestic services* for caravans, campervans is restricted. Please click here to check these restrictions.

Gas containers must be switched off whilst travelling and connection systems must be in good condition.

Opening the container tap or using domestic services is strictly forbidden until the vehicle has unloaded on the opposite terminal.

Note: Containers must be easy of access by our staff for any check.

Eurotunnel reserves the right to cancel your journey in case of non compliance with the conditions expressed above.

Oxygen is permitted for travel on the passenger shuttles. We do not have a fixed limit for how many cylinders can be carried. However between 2-3 bottles for personal use would be the normal amount carried.

The maximum dimensions we are able to carry in our passenger carriages are as follows:

• Length: 18m (The maximum length for a car and caravan or trailer including bumpers, tow bars and any over hanging load.)
• Height: 4.2m
• Width: 2.55m (plus mirrors)
• Light commercial goods maximum weight: 3.5 tonnes (however the Passenger Shuttle will allow exceptional vehicles such as campervans and coaches up to 25 tonnes maximum gross weight on a wagon)

Eurotunnel Le Shuttle does not have any parking facilities so you will be required to meet fellow travellers elsewhere. There are two car parks that we can recommend due to their close proximity to our terminal however, these car parks are not Eurotunnel Le Shuttle owned and therefore Eurotunnel Le Shuttle accepts no responsibility for anything that may occur whilst your vehicle is parked at either location.
