I keep being pestered to add my out fit to my profile, why?I know how long it is and the width, I also check for any limitations on size at sites which I may visit, it is under 8 meters in length so should fit on most sites, wish they would leave alone cannot sleep at night worring about this.Innocent

LaughingHa Ha, don’t worry H128, CC like to know these things for when you make a booking. Give them a larger size and you’ll get more room on your pitch (just joking).  They also ask for your registration number? At least they don’t ask for our inside leg measurements.Wink

Similar to always being asked for the tow car registration number when booking in on site.  I'm not sure what on earth use that is as the tow car rarely stays on site.  If I'm on my own the tow car is needed back at home and I either have my little motor with me or I do without, depending on where I am.

mybe it is just happens to me, but two things about the booking page, one it has my outfit listed but the check box is always set to 'other' and as soon as I type my car reg number it comes up??

Apparently it is so that you cant give your membership cards to another couple to use with their outfit. Its not perfect but would at least cause an efficient warden to ask a few questions if the registration number of the arriving outfit was not the one declared on the membership details.

now, K, even for a club-lover (and yes you can use that) like me, I can't believe that there is any warden who is so efficient that they actually check your car number plate against their records when you arriveSmile

Anyway if that happened something like I've just swapped cars, I've hired a tow car, its my dad's .... would suffice

Likewise do they check the outfit details against their records?

I can see the point in the outfit details. Some sites, such as Berwick have a significant number of short pitches. When we arrived we were given a plan highlighted with the pitches suitable for our van. It made it much easier to decide what pitch we wanted. I can see less point in the tow car registration, presumably in most cases this should match the number on the caravan and if you were swapping cars, as JJ does, you would inform the warden.

except for caravans from Holland (I think) where each caravan has its own number plate.

But good point Steve, I will amend my details to show I don't tow an Airstream

It would be very poor management if on a site with varying pitch sizes  I didn't provide a suitable pitch to suit the size of outfit, that is why you provide outfit details. With regards to registration numbers, I am also responsible for security on site so any vehicle I am unsure of can be checked on our system. I'm sure you'd be a bit unhappy if your outfit was taken by an unknown to me vehicle. I'd also think it a common courtesy to inform the site staff of any changes.

Membership cards are asked for at booking in as a means of ID. if I'm unsure I will ask for another form of ID.

We do regularly check outfit details against records held.
