C&CC closing sites

That would be fine by me but I suspect more difficult to police? What would be interesting would be to see what value the Club put on a daily electrical connection?

When it was an add cost, several of our friends told us that it was, even back then a problem with some "non users"?  Who would  do all sorts to save paying for the EHU although they would plug in when they expected not to be noticed,, , it is the same now with some EV and Hibrid owners ,it was the honest users as now  who normally advised the site staff., or the late dog walking warden who knew the pitches that were not paying 

On sites that had lockable bollar if busy some site staff would trip and then lock the bollard for the pitch, Very few now  as the latest you need to access the trips when you plug into the EHU, 

The switching on/off for the bollard can be done at the time of booking using RF or Wifi controlled consumer units. It could probably even be made automatic on a well constructed computer system that would check whether electricity was paid for and switch accordingly.  Just have to replace all the consumer units.

However, with the trend to more electrical devices in the new caravans it is questionable just how many people would want a free of EHU pitch.  Personally, I would prefer the effort being put into providing 32 ampere connections.  That is, after all, what the outlet sockets are rated for, though I suspect the cabling all the way back to the grid is not.

You can get some idea from the charges applied on C & CC non ehu pitches and I think a few  CAMC economy pitches (unfortunately these aren't always very good to use.)

Hmm...I tried Altnaharra, £17 a pitch next year, ehu or non ehu....

Eggs and basket come to mind...relying on a single fuel to power everything from cars to trains, heating to refrigeration etc....

currently a Combi can be specified to run on electric or gas or diesel depending on one's requirements.

it does seem mad that club campers that are able aren't being encouraged to reduce their electric usage and keep site (and pitch) costs down.

I understand the heating issue highlighted by Steve, but during the summer there's plenty of scope to have a non EHU pitch.

...and it seems that the 'we can't do this because....' scenarios were exactly the benefits we would get by shrugging off the myriad EU red tape regulations...

even the counties that are still part of the system don't have a problem in being able to offer the EHU power/payment Variations described by AD above.

why can't we 'just do it'?

How does the 32amp connection work  when there are up to four 16amp outlets on some Ehu bollards

Thanks, my view too, so you have saved me having to write that.

Are you always so negative JVB?

Well lets do some maths? I've just done a quick count and not taking into account AS sites Scottish sites account for about 12% of club sites, yet you keep trying to paint the whole network just on Scottish sites. You're the one who keeps posting using only Scottish sites to substantiate your views, it is simply not the case.

And now your pushing this by arguing about the difference between many and most to rpove your point? is there a difference?

I think you need to visit more sites before making such wild assumptions Kj. I can probably say I've been to more than you. Now try and keep on topic?
