Yes you can take motorhomes on the tunnel, lots on here do it all the time.
In France you have two choices, you can use campsites or 'aires'. Aires vary greatly from just a small carpark type place with maybe water fill / empty to many that have electric, loos and even wifi.
Many people buy a book called 'All the Aires' which lists thousands. Pretty much every town and village has an aire of some sorts and you can also find details of them on several websites - just google France - aires.
For campsites most use ACSI as they get discounts on hundreds of sites with the card / book which costs around £8, we find we can usually obtain similar low prices using aires or using smaller campsites with less than 20'ish pitches.
France is possibly (along with Germany) the most motorhome friendly country in Europe, you will love it.

Have a look at France Passion too. Free overnighting on places like farms and vineyards if you buy a book and spend some money on produce. I have never used it, but others have. I bet there are loads in the scheme in Burgundy!

The Alsace region is well worth a visit, lots of old towns and villages, look up the "route de vin".
Also campsites start to close mid September in France, not all of them, and there are always aires,

With a MH the Aires in France are fantastic, nearly every village/town has one, some are free, some are free to stay but you pay to get fresh water/elec.
Don't get fooled by things called "Aires" on the motorways/dual carriageways they are resting sites to picnic on, toilet facilities etc., don't overnight on them they are not safe!
Have fun you will love it there, so MH friendly!
