Proportion of Motorhomes?

It seems from previous posts that around 2:1 in favour of caravans are CC members at the moment, but does it really, really matter in any way, shape or form, other than for site design considerations?

The only reason I am remotely interested is if it prompts this Club, and other site / pitch providers to improve sites for both caravan and MH users in the future. The Club has limited funds for improving existing sites, but if, when, it considers new ones, then better waste water dumping designs would be good, and maybe a one night stopover area are possible considerations, more like parking spaces than pitches, to accommodate those MHs who like to pitch up late, shower, then move on early.

Write your comments here...When we had the motorhome, we used Aires quite extensively when in France. I always thought that a similar arrangement could be introduced in this country.

Good try, K. Let's drag the thread way off topic and start discussing overseas and Aires which, as you know, has been debated time and time again.

Yep. Notice my deliberate none use of the word "aires", not that I know how they work anyway! Something uniquely British required here, but without the queuing!

this may be of some help in validating the current trends

Interesting set of stats Jeff

"In the UK, it is estimated that there are in current use:

• 550,000 touring caravans
• 330,000 caravan holiday homes
• more than 205,000 motorhomes

= over 1 million leisure caravans"

But then again K you know what they say about statistics

a good post, TTDA, but heresy all the same

Who needs Aires when the well heeled traveling community can wild camp-go Motorhomers
