Woke up late due to a person going around unplugging hook ups to do a test at 07.00 in the morning,  by unplugging the power it switched off my alarm and made us sleep in which messed up our plans for the day, Well done Looe site management (NOT)

Seems a bit unusual! Are you sure it had anything to do with the site management? Don't think I've ever seen them around site that early! surprised

What a strange story!

I’ve been on two sites recently where there were notices advising of electrical testing and possible interruption of supply. 

The only time I use an alarm in the van is if there’s an early ferry to catch. Otherwise, it’s holiday time so we’ll do it drekkly.

Early Warning was given to me  at Godrevy this year -- Sparky apologised that his ministrations would not improve the quality of TV programmes one iota frown

As for alarm clocks I'm 'Old School' in this -- I take my normal bedside alarm clock - battery operated -  'cos I need an early call to allow for my medication innocent - recommended an hour before breakfast

well I am amazed, with the greatest respect, that people have a plug in 240V alarm in a caravan, we just use our phones if we need an alarm?

Some people use an alarm ... others use a phone. And besides, it's easier to look at an alarm clock through the night for the time rather than blinding yourself with your phone.

I used to like the microwave for that in our caravan. Not got one in our MH so I have to press the button on top the battery alarm, if I wake and want to check the time. A 240 v one would show it all the time, but I can do without the additional wire.

I fitted a 12v clock/alarm in the MH. I can see the time in the middle of the night. I haven't deployed the alarm facility. I don't do early morning time critical stuff when away. Pottering about in the van yesterday, I noticed it's still on Euro time.

Ours is too clever for its own good. It detects the time from some transmission. Trouble is in the northern part of France it kept reverting to U.K. time, so we had to set the alarm an hour wrong.😂
