Well if I was a warden there I would take a short walk to check things.
Personally I think metering is inevitable but also the fairest. I changed my Moho last year and my new one has Alde, Microwave, TV etc etc and I sometimes charge my e-bikes. Despite having plenty of solar on the roof I most likely use more electricity than the majority of campervans and mohos.
I agree so long as campsites lower their initial fees. This way all pitches are potentially non EHU, saving money for those who don’t want it.
The area and what they can get away with.
It also depends on the time of year.
Wasting your time Debroos, they will continue to complain about high energy costs, increase their site fees accordingly, then when fuel prices drop maintain higher prices, whilst claiming to be environmentally friendly. They are a complete joke, their only concern is how much they can screw you for. Just look at the figures quoted on here, and those figures are for people who are members, add 20% for non members. I know it won’t happen, but the only message this lot will take heed of is mass withdrawal of members with motorhomes, and that won’t happen.
And I assume you are a fully paid up member, if not you can add 20-30% on to their prices. They never miss a trick to screw us over.
What they really mean is they don’t trust you to be sneaky at night. Earlier somebody moaned about Spanish sites having locked cabinets that had to be unlocked for this that and the other. I happily put up with this inconvenience if it means I have a cheaper rate without electric or only get charged for electric I use.
Because we are being treated like idiots by an organisation who look down their noses at those who wild camp, whilst being screwed by them, even though we are members. They constantly look for ways to increase their prices, and sadly we keep encouraging them by paying them. But I suppose when you have 65 million people on a small island it’s bound to be a bit more expensive than a place like NZ with only 5 million Ral.
Basically because Brits won't work for nothing, it's also why we make very little in this country anymore we always price ourselves out of the market.
Thought I'd try as someone said on this thread that some cl's do offer reductions. Worth trying I reckon especially as wildcamping is so difficult down this way.
Debroos, we are a very large minority. Probably 30-40%. For the past three years more motorhomes and camper vans have been sold in the U.K. than caravans. And it’s reckoned that by 2030 we will outnumber them. I always take a walk round a site taking note of motorhomes v caravans. In summer there are more caravans, but in winter we vastly outnumber them. Even in summer I have stayed on sites were were outnumber caravans.
True but how do you know that 30/40% of motorhomes are both members of CMC and also wildcampers?
