Can no longer afford

At some sites it also means you get a nice level pitch, rather than one with a horrible cross grade.

I've never understood why motorhomes use serviced pitches unless that is all that is offered as on some sites. Those long stayers with small tanks may have some excuse but even if that was me, I would still not use a serviced pitch given options.

+1, I got my rebate from the local authority super quick due to my choice of bank DD choices. I know within a couple of seconds if payments come out of my a/c including C&MC.

Out of season, some private Sites will park you up anywhere, serviced or not for same price. We stayed in South Wales at a small private Site one November. Owner told us to park up at top on serviced pitches, as views were better, and closer to dog walk. Other than washing out dog bowls, I don’t think we used tap on pitch. I recall it was £14 a night, with hook up.

Hardly a really good reason Steve. Most motorhomes need to level up even on level pitches.

Unfortunately, what many seem not to acknowledge is that there are many places that have no or very poor phone signals.  I've been to several caravan sites, mainly CLs admittedly, where this has been the case. In those instances, what does one do? Drive around for miles until a signal is hopefully picked up or revert to looking at information on paper be it maps or handbooks etc. There are also the instances when a phone battery dies because it hasn't been charged. It does happen. It is an interesting fact, as stated on a programme on TV recently,  that in this so called  'paperless society' the use of paper is actually on the increase.

You are right as the sevel based M/C's tend to all have a nose down stance🤔👍👌

It is still only value for money and location that is driving us at the moment as it has always done, luckily expense is not entering the equation. After 2 years of Covid we like many others I would assume have saved a 'pretty penny' by deciding to stay at home, I know we have.

If the program in channel five is anywhere near accurate then many do🤔

90% of the time front to back can be sorted out by the direction we drive on the pitch. As JVB mentions ours has a nose down attitude. Most, even supposedly level, pitches dip slightly front / back or back front to aid drainage. We don’t mind facing the neighbours,😀 if it means we are level.
