CL Site Owners' Website

Sorry pd, like you, if metering is available, then it might be a fairer system for the likes of us, with a small outfit, minimal electric usage and off pitch for most of day. But going down the “standard” meter is losing the CL owner independent ethos. 

I never consider Club Sites and CLs in the same way. And long may it stay that way.

I don't understand apart from Scotland why anyone would want to stop to empty & refill their water

Surely if you are touring you empty before you leave site one then fill up when you arrive at site two

Some don't use sites except when they need services.

Interesting and a serious question - you say minimal but what is the total cost of installing a meter? What is the cost of the unit itself and the cost of an electrician to do the work? Are there any ongoing costs, like yearly safety inspections and to ensure their reading are correct?

DIN rail digital meters can be had for around £20 each.  They are simple enough for an electrician to install pretty quickly.  I'd think they could do 5 in under an hour.  If this was combined with their electrical test inspection visit (mandatory for all CLs) then there would be no additional call-out charge.  My estimate therefore would be supply & fit @ around £150-£180.

I did say "owners could chose to follow or not". A standard would make it easier for customers who would not have to mess about with a multidtude of different system. Even meters that accepted credit or debit cards would be good better than lots of different systems of payment.
