C&MC staff towing caravans to pitches from storage

Google is showing me the names of two caravan towing companies in Bridlington. Can they help you by bringing your van out of storage and on to a pitch? But more to the point would the Club allow this?

Yes, check with HQ, Andy, as I've witnessed the same thing.

A warden on here has explained the mini tractors have a towing limit of 2000kg so they are able to tow caravans but not MHs. I guess it could depend on what equipment they have at Brid.

I have certainly seen caravans towed to reposition during site maintenance and when ground has been soft. Does not mean of course that insurance covers other aspects beyond site work

Would there not be added issues like having to leave keys for security devices, alarm fobs etc with the wardens ?

I like the idea myself as my van is now on a C&MHC storage site. and it would be great to ask for it to be put on  a pitch and drive over there in our classic car but as I said above it seems a little more complex when you think about it.

Not really as it would simply mean the owner having the keys and waiting until the warden could assist

Depends solely on the wording of the insurance.

Are the CAMC missing a monetising opportunity?

The Friendly Club offer a tow on/off service at some of their sites, £6.70 a go.

The former 'Forest Holidays' or wotever they are now called since private equity takeover used to offer a tow on/off and pitch up option. Stored and seasonal units left a set of keys with the wardens. They'll know how to squeeze every drop of money out of the punters 

Lots of commercial sites offer the service. There is a lovely old fashioned farmhouse site just below Widemouth Bay that do the service. Lots of weekending families making the trip without the hassle of towing. The owner would ask when you were arriving / leaving and pitch up for your arrival even if the middle of the night, then put the caravan away at a time convenient to him after you had gone home well after 12 noon on a Sunday  with the caravan not being moved till Monday.

The Adult Only Bath Chew Valley site listed in the CAMC directory only do a pitch up service.

Seems a logical extension to the offering for new adventurers. The OP cycle to site is a brilliant way to enhance our hobby 

No doubt someone will soon be along to tell you to go elsewhere if you don't like the CAMC offering 

There was a style of motor mover a few years ago that coupled to the tow hitch in place of the jockey wheel.  One of those would let you move the caravan yourself.

They were fitted with a seperate 12v battery, but with an Anderson connector could be run from the caravan battery, that has been nicely solar charged while in storage.
