Sustainability Matters

I don't understand CY, if you don't want an all you can eat buffet then why go to such a place, there are other options available, or do as you do and not even visit any campsite where possible.

As one who likes all inclusive holidays with all inclusive drinks (as you must do as well going on those cruises) I've never seen people over indulging. 

I've seen an outfit using two cables one for the van and one for the awning.

Were they hooked up to two bollards? I can't see how that would work, as awnings don't have a socket.

TV cables go into awnings, and you can plug something into the side of the caravan like a fridge or heater, but that cable wouldn't show

16A to 13A  domestic socket cables are availabe for tent camping is how it works. 

As asked was it from two separate bollards? If it was this would clearly be wrong unless they had paid for two pitches. And was this on a club site? 

I have seen a splitter on a van’s input socket allowing a second cable to go around the van and into a tent. This was used for storing and charging an electric wheelchair. The owner told me he had the splitter made up by an electrician as they had originally had one which plugged into the bollard feed but this they were told is not allowed.

2 or 3 way splitters are readily and cheaply available on the likes of Amazon and eBay.

They are but all the ones I’ve seen on sale are for the bollard socket, these will not fit or work at the other end, the van socket.  Using a splitter on the bollard is not permitted hence splitting at the van.

Going in a slightly different direction.... really in the the subject of being 'greener'....  it's good that some sites are now adopting 'green/ no grass cutting/ natural areas'.  However, perhaps it has been the luck of the draw, but visits to sites more recently, I get the impression that hardstanding pitches do not always appear to be as well manicured as they were... with some grass growing through the gravel surfaces.  Perhaps the Club are no longer using weed killer and there is not enough time to manually weed pitches.....  or perhaps I have been unlucky.

That's fantastic to hear! It's great when campsites provide composting facilities, and it's even better to see campers actively using them to reduce landfill waste
