is the Club about touring or static holidays?

Reading the latest magazine I was annoyed to read an AGM comment that motorhomes are causing problems because they stay on a site for a few nights and spoil the opportunity for a week's booking.

Personally all the people dashing to book in December for next year spoil my opportunity for going away on a whim and touring, stopping off for a few nights then moving on to pastures new.

Its obviously someone who can't get the weekends with their hols on a particular site.  They ignore the fact weekends are booked in four ways:

separately

at the beginning of hols

at the end of hols

beginning and end of hols for workers that like to get the most out of their holiday allowance

I'm amazed there's any weekends left to book!!!

very good point, also add in my (now) preferred stay of midweek to midweek.

the subject is just another example of the rivalry between Tuggers and Motorhomers among the CMC customers. 

Why !!!  .------  We all enjoy our holidays in our own way.  It's time that caravanners accepted that motorhomes are here to stay.

That's a classic example of "fake news", surely, K?

One question at the AGM, along with a scattering of critical comments (in both directions) on CT doesn't add up to anything like serious rivary in my book! On site at least, everyone gets along just fine, whatever their choice of outfit! 

We'd be more than happy to have you pitched up next to our van in your MH! smile

Its not a Caravan versus Motorhome issue at all its simply the perceived conflict of interests between touring   and  those who wish to stay put a little longer and bought about by the fact all weeks have a weekend in themsmile

I say perceived because there seems to be a theory developing here  that folks are one or the other and for some one style is superior. We do both, not on club sites but the principle is the same. Although we would never set off on a long trip determined to keep on the move for the sake of it  our stays vary between several weeks and just a few days according to circumstance.

We haven't changed our style of touring in many years. What we have done is change from a caravan to a motorhome. Even with the caravan we would usually only stay 3 or 4 nights then move on and many times just 2 nights if it was a weekend.

I do wish this bad attitude between caravanners and motorhomers would stop, does it matter what type of vehicle we enjoy our hobby in. yell

I liked that, but do you really think there is bad feeling TG?

I think, like "block booking" and "serial cancellers" it's a bit of a myth, unfortunately caused by rather thoughtless wording in some posts.

Luckily, on site, everyone gets along just fine! smile
