Proportion of Serviced v Standard Pitches

I have always been intrigued by BB's water use. I sometimes wonder if he just uses wet wipes Our water consumption in the motorhome is almost of the same order as it was in our previous caravans and I can't see any reason why it should be any different as the production of hot water and distribution is exactly the same. From what others say it is BB that seems to be out of line with his frugal water use if it can be defined as easily as that? It is a bit of a pointless discussion because we are all going to continue to use the amount of water that suits us and when it goes down we will replenish it?

If the UN find out, they will send him aid!

 

Or worse,

 

Comic relief will send a celeb dancer round to have a photo with him. 💃

Look what happened there,

David Lammy will do his nut! 🤯

yes but you missed the point, he drinks a bottle of red wine per day, but he didnt clarify whether the per day was for breakfast, lunch, dinner or all 3

well David i did give a rough breakdown of daily usage, which surprisngly, totalled the amount of our tank divided by number of days we can make it last....

we do shower every day (cheers wellys) but when on site we use those.

neither DK nor those caravanners who've responded spend many days away from sites and water supplies as we do when overseas...we travelled a section of the Algarve coast for five days just stopping in town beach parking areas where no water was available...

not wasting water (which is probably where much of the difference is) comes naturally.....

however, as David says, it's neither here nor there as to others habits..

...but it is relevant to us, as a two day 'service free' period in a van makes little use of what (to us) a MH is capable of over a caravan.

We have no roller barrel and use little more water in the caravan than campers do in a tent. Old habits die hard ! 

I think we tend towards the frugal rather than the profligate in terms of water usage. Shower every day, wash up in a bowl, OH drinks plenty of tea. One aquaroll a day in van usually does us. I suppose some of the usage depends on how much/how long you might be out in day. A long day on site might see three pot washes and gallons of tea in my OH’s instance😁 

We come from a use it, you carry it camping background. It’s still a bit of exercise we are able to do.

No service pitches here, but there’s a tap every four pitches. So a long hose would ease the strain on aquaroll filling. Waste point is every four vans as well. No extra charges on standard pitch rate.

Thing is, being honest, club prices are generally on the high side.

My February holiday I had a choice of 3 sites in the area, the CMC was the most expensive, still went, bad decision, should have gone to the middle priced one, but anyway, if the club adds more serviced pitches, the charges for them, on top of the site fees I wouldnt use them, and I always book service pitches were available.

I have a CMC  booking in October, October mind, it's over £220 for a week, serviced pitch, but no idea if its flat or scenic. 

So I'm probably going to cancel and go commercial. 

Still serviced, but that time of year at least £70 cheaper, and all the bins will be usable too!

 

Whatever floats yer boat

I think we are pretty frugal with water. Like BB we get through about 20 litres a day if showering in the van rather than the block. Drinking water we don't take from the tank/barrel, about 6 cuppas a day the water is collected in a 2 litre container. 

When we had the MH we had a 100 ltr freshwater tank which could easy last us 5 days on a CL, much more if on a site using facilities. 

We often do 1 nighters even with the caravan, when doing this we don't even bother to put the water containers out. 

If challenged OH can have a wash, shave and clean his teeth with just a mugful of water  military training never leaves you.
