Cheap Plymouth / Roscoff available

Thank you so much for the explanation.  That is not a term of which I had ever heard before.

I'm a little surprised that ferry operators aren't wooing MH owners with better discounts as they would obviously be able to get more of them on their ferries than caravans for any given price package. Is it because caravans perhaps have more passengers with a consequent increase in the number of passengers paid for plus increased on-board sales?

don't know the answer, CY but most of the car/caravans we see on the ferry have only two occupants, so I think they would make more by being able to take (say) perhaps 50% MHs.

however, despite the rising number of MHs, there are still very many caravans who wish to travel.

but as Phil suggests, a pricing system that really does charge by the metre would be a fairer one.

still, who's to know why the offers that are available are available?

but as Phil suggests, a pricing system that really does charge by the metre would be a fairer on

yet in some ways they do charge by the metre or should I say half metre. When you enter your length the price goes up for every half metre or at least it does for MH's 

Out of curiosity and not wanting to accused of getting my facts wrong I've just checked.

Plymouth to Roscoff sailing 5/9/19 rtn 6/10/19

6m MH  = £370

 6.5 and 7m  MH = £406

7.5m and 8m MH = £442

taking the same lengths as above of caravan + car it matters not what the size of the caravan is the price is £295 (because as has been pointed out caravans go free)

So an 8m caravan + 4.5m car is £295 while a 8m MH is £442 that's a difference of £147

Quite a difference, isn't it TG?  Like others who have posted on this thread, and other threads previously, I cannot understand why there appears to be this discrimination between discounts for caravans and MHs.  

In answer to another post, no, I don't "want a certain answer and despite others offering information and advice just keep repeating the same question when they don’t get that answer".

It's down to the fact that there is a much better discount for car+caravan than for a MH, and for a "club" which calls itself the Caravan and Motorhome Club (changed to include the "and Motorhome" bit only recently), that seems almost a mockery.

so a simple question, is there a price difference between MH and caravans if you booked without the club? Never mind the club discount? If so then you cannot blame the club I would have thought?

Or are people wanting the club to reverse the discount to make the prices equal? Perhaps that would make MH people happy?

fair point, swings and roundabouts, gain on the cheaper fares, lose out on the aires and pay more for stops?

Yes there is a difference, MH's are slightly cheaper than a car and caravan on most crossings.

But aires are in France, nothing to do with the club, not all MH's use aires many stay on sites.
