Can people please post some examples of UK sites where electricity.usage is metered.

The one I know of is Pier Collage on the waterside at Coniston - a family owned site with 15 pitches . The system there is to pay on departure for the amount of electricity used, but other sites sell pre paid cards on arrival, so comments on the different ways of working may be helpful.

Likes and dislikes will inevitably crop up - they always do on here - but I was rather looking for practical ways of working.

You may not think so David and I agree, but it would seem that CC Ltd may consider it customers to be dishonest and not trustworthy.

The few , as in all walks of life, by their behaviour and ,attitude to others are the ones who spoil for the many.

In all my many years of using many club sites, almost exclusively, I've never come across this problem, how many club sites have you found this on?

Also I'm not sure there is a direct correlation between this problem and trying to charge an EV without paying?

It was a very odd comparison to make, I agree, but not entirely spurious I think.

People who disrespect one aspect of site behaviour are highly likely to disrespect other aspects.

Having said that, I must say that, although I have not used toilet blocks in two seasons now, when I did, it was exceptionally rare to find them in anything even close to the state that Nellie's comment implies.

It also occurs to me to wonder if it even possible to charge an EV on site. Where would you plug it in? Might it not blow the trip? (I admit to cluelessness about electric vehicles and electricity in general and certainly not expressing an opinion - just speculating.)

The EV has to be plugged in to the caravan/MH and not to the bollard. That method uses the van's trip protection to protect the supply to the car.

DD, you forgot to mention "in your opinion" and "according to some posters on here". Just saying.

The point is JVB they are as you say "the few" , but perhaps we have been lucky in our caravanning to meet and spend time with lovely people , people who sometimes become long term friends and if there are a "few" who dont come up to our standards I think its a shame to let their behavior poison our view of of our fellow man, they are rare and not worth it.

We in the many years and hundreds of club and commercial sites we have used, it is not a big problem and have not met or hopefully socialised with the "few" inconsiderate site users but have seen the results of them
