In the years we have been members, and with numerous site staff now in our circle,i cannot remember any sites we have been on that the "wrong side door" c/vans are requested to go nose in ,there have been times when the said owners have asked if the can go "nose in" as their beds are at the front,so nose in gives more "curtain twitching",and watching others on the usual "promenading" that seems to happen

What was or was not happening in your circle and with numerous site staff you know, was not any part of the scene, we encountered. You had a continental van then to actually get drawn into such requests each time when checking in?

Our bedroom or its widows are not at the front or offside, plus I can never recall being questioned on where the bedroom or its windows were located.

The observation always was simply, the van is continental, door on off side, pitch nose in. I think always a "please" and always courteous.

As said the rigidity has backed off, but please accept I know what things were like.

Ready availability of LPG replenishment is always a consideration "over there". I can recall numerous visits to Leclerc for an exchange 907 back in the day. That's one of the big advantages of refillables these days although I acknowledge there are other solutions.

I still take my two to France, as much to do the exchanges there at a Super "U", as feed the Cadac.

Dare I admit here, I drive to the Supermarket with them in the car, rather than stowing the awning, coupling up to take the caravan there and return and set everything up again.

I came over all giddy when thoughtlessly I asked for an exchange in the UK, I got out credit card intact to sit in the motor and recover before I could drive again.
