Motorhomers do what they always do, they use a container of some sort to empty out the on board tank then we take them to the emptying point like the caravanners. We do the same on sites rather than move the van too often. smile

That or a macerater / pump and a long 1" pipe to the yellow containers, but the black water tank holds around 40 gallons of swage.... more than enough for a weekend.

But if the organisers could get one thats flush with the ground then it would make it easier for us, we could then use a 3" pipe for an easy dump....

We're going.

 

Just hoping we're not pitched to close to the blooming generators this time. Why a Non-EHU option isn't offered is beyond me!

Afraid we stopped attending when all EHU pitches were introduced.  Had several years with the drone of generators nearby.  Sad really but I suppose the Club is moving with the times.  We used to have far more vans at the National before EHUs were introduced.

Much the same as AP. Providing electricity has in my view made it expensive for what it is. Commercial shows are much better value for money but I note Warners are for the first time introducing EHU at the Norfolk show this year. I do hope it is not the thin end of the wedge.

Following on from the success of compulsory Ehu.  The sooner the marketing types who blight, sorry I meant run the club.  Ban caravans* from the National and replace them with glamping pods the better it will be for everyone. 

* Airstreams, are of course exempt because they are cool.

When lots of van owners now have solar it seems the club are retrograde in their ideas on emissions and noise pollution.

Looking around present site lots of van owners don't have solar. No idea why the club could not have a smaller area without EHU though

There is probably more profit in EHU pitches, can't think of any other reason not to provide a non EHU area like they used to. Last time I went I booked a non EHU pitch but ended up on hook up because of a muddy access to the non EHU. Not been since, perhaps the take up of non EHU at subsequent Nationals was very low which has prompted the move to all EHU?
