Hi,

we have just purchased an established CL site and would welcolme tips on running a succesfull site. We would appreciate feedback on electricity usage as the site is open 365 days a year. what would you expect a average caravan to use in Kwh per day in winter compaed to summer? Is it good practice to provide a washing machine and dryer?

Regards, Martin

If you state the name of your cl them I'm sure you will get advice on other matters from people that have stayed on site before.

Maybe his CT name gives it away

From existing reviews it appears that the EHU is a very low amperage one with people being unable to run fridges. I must confess to finding that surprising as it suggests only sufficient for battery chargers.

After reading the reviews on your cl i do not think ,unless you are upgrading the electrics there will be a problem as it looks as if its very low power just enough for batt charging?
