Campsite costs

So just depends how you were touring before you decide to off grid. If you only used sites then it is a fair comparison.

No, surely you have to compare what you do now / in the future? 

+1, CY has stated in the past that C&MC sites are not for him, he uses alternatives as stopovers👍🏻

I might have misunderstood you there, PD. If you are saying compare UK costs before and after going off grid, that's fair enough. But that isn't what CY is doing is it? 

CY used over there site costs which are not dissimilar to off grid certificate sites here so I see no difference.. In any case I am sure those looking for cheaper options can work out if it is beneficial to them.

As I don't know any off grid certificate sites and know nothing of their prices it is hard to make a valid comparison.

CY has given prices abroad to base his sums on, what we need is an 'off gridder' who tours in the UK.

So by reading the above CY has spent £1300 to equip his MH for off grid plus an undisclosed as yet lithium battery. A quick check is that they cost anywhere from £500 to over £1500 so that brings the total to say about £1800+. 

So even at his figure of £11 nightly costs for abroad he will have to stay off grid for about 163 nights, or over five months before it starts to pay for itself.

I'm not saying anyone shouldn't do that of course or it's not worth it, I've spent £1000+s on bikes and cameras over the years and one can't put a price on the enjoyment these things bring, and I'm sure CY thinks it's worth every penny and rightly so for him. I'm just showing that off grid isn't as 'free' as some like to make out.
