Caravans and motorhomes with offside door

Ha - you got a pitch! Well done! But seriously like Easy T I'm more concerned about the view and north south orientation to try and get the awning in the sun. Still optimistic for a trip to the Dordogne in September and the chance to socialise with our European cousins. Happy caravanning! 

But the way EHU and ground type can be affected as to how most sites are laid out ,and as both clubs find power supply to pitches is a major factor on n layout so why not standardise where possible,

 

Never had any overtly unfriendly behaviour in a decade, some grumbles to wardens about us facing the ‘wrong’ way, but I suspect they are the same people who make it their business to walk the site noting any peg deviance and report it.

I have noticed a few people this year who are a bit, ‘frosty’, complete with  ‘Berlin Walls’ of windbreaks to delineate ‘their’ pitch space - but they do seem to be ‘lockdown campers’ who I suspect once the bargain package holidays in Spain are back on again, will no longer be with us.

badly behaved dogs? It’s in the wardens remit to deal with that issue. 

parking across the pitch is the solution, the doors never face each other.

 

Doesn't bother me in the slightest which way round folk park, if I felt that uncomfortable I'd move or go and sit around the other side of the van or join the windbreak brigade. 

As we spend most of our time off site its not something I'd get upset over.

This year we have noticed an increase in windbreaks and dogs, the last site we were on one unit had 6 small dogs and the van next to him had 3 big dogs. None of them were any trouble, yet we've suffered no end of issues with some owners and their furry friends when they have had just 1 dog. 

We have noticed when we use CAMC sites that we are aware of many more dogs than when we use C&CC sites.

When we had a MH with a fiamma wind out canopy a trick we learned was to use a pair of windbreaks to form the 'walls' of the area below the canopy. The gap between canopy and windbreak created a natural air conditioning effect. 

Roll on a few years and inflatable windbreaks are available, so we adapted for the caravan with a full length Dorema sun canopy and a Dometic air windbreak.

Here is the set up at the delightful non standard CAMC car park site at Bridport Bingham Grange, on a serviced pitch over the recent baking hot Whit bank holiday:

"It’s in the wardens remit to deal with that issue"

Where's that written then?

However pitching that way one is either looking into one's neighbour's front window or the back of their van which may be their toilet compartment. I would much rather not be looking directly into someone's van.

We were told that reversing in was the only allowed direction at a Private site near Pitlochry. Not only did it put the door on the wrong side, it meant we had to use ramps to get level.☹️ The only reason I could see for the rule was that nose in windscreens looked directly at some statics, although a reasonable distance away. It was early May this year, sub zero at night and not that warm in the day and the silver screen remained firmly in place throughout. However, it was their  rule and we complied. It’s the only time I can remember being told which way round to pitch.🤔

What?😳 The wardens left the next day? What drove them off?
