Email the caravan club head office thay said thay would get back to me in 2 days but thay still have not would just like to know what is going to  happen as I can not wash my caravan down 

Just been told that you can know longer wash your caravan down in the wash down bay  does any one know if its right ?

 

Write your comments here...it's  hardly a wash-down bay any more then,? Is it. What are you supposed to do ??   Do you get a reduction in storage fees for the loss of amenities? 

How do you have a "washbay" that has a drainage system that is not fit for purpose in the first place ?

Do not quite understand the problem with washing down the caravans . What about all the car washing places that seem to spring up in car parks and such like do they conform to this new ruling I doubt it . So as a proud owner and I'm sure I'm not alone in this one where do we clean our pride and joys because there is no way I want to tow or use a dirty caravan after all we all have certain standards don't we .

The places offering car wash near me are either on old petrol station sites, which have an interceptor or on supermarket sites which presumably have the same.

I can't see the problem with giving your van a wipe down with clean water and a sponge who want's to look through dirty window's while away, there is probably more pollutents in the air when it rains than wiping your van over, what next, they will banning the use of screen wash on your car next on sites before you drive off, or be checking underneath your car to see if there is a oil leak, or perhaps check your shoes to make sure you haven't brought any mud back to the site the list could just keep going red tape is killing this country

As a precautionary measure The Club has temporarily closed its wash down facilities at Alderstead Heath, Gatwick, Commons Wood and Ashridge Farm. This is to enable staff to reassess the effectiveness of the relevant drainage systems to ensure that output to watercourses remains within acceptable thresholds. We fully recognise how important a service this is to members and are working hard with the respective water authorities to deliver an approved drainage design that will allow us to reopen these facilities at the earliest opportunity. We are endeavouring to do this work outside of the main touring season in order to minimise the disruption to members. 

Try "Miracle Dry Wash"  No water required.  Wash the cloths when you get back home.

As of today 27/04/2016, the wash down facility at Commons Wood is still inoperative. Club cannot provide an estimate of when it will be re-instated.
