Electricity Extra?

You'll find some CLs have metered pitches, some with metered payments others where the owners give you an allowance and you pay the difference if you use more. We've not had any problems with either and it certainly makes you aware of using someone else's power!

Always worth checking if you're not sure. I think the great majority include power in the price.

I personally think heating an awning is a waste. If time but as a previous poster has said if electricity is charged for within the cost of the pitch then it can be used as is seen fit. It's no ones business and I find it uncomfortable other members peering into other people's awnings invading privacy. 

D2, it seems some folk class 'curtain twitching' as their main reason for going away I'm afraid

Could be one of their "home" comforts

Well I've certainly seen awnings with a heater in them, in fact we have a member on here who uses one regularly. Some sites I've been on do say NO heater in awnings, one site we were on did enforce it if the owner saw you with one on, he would either insist that it goes off or ask you to leave.

How does everyone feel about people who go out for the day leaving the heating on in their unit?

What about those who get so hot on a November evening that they have to open windows?

Is it worth setting a maximum permissible setting on the thermostat? I have mine set at 18 so anything above that is wasteful 

 

Some wardens will trip the bollard if they note a heater on in unatended leisure vehicles

I'd go one further Jay, anyone actually enjoying their break should report themselves to the 'hair shirt' society for disciplinary measures to be taken, I feel a harrumph coming on

You might well use a winking smiley!! Yes, when I was younger my family would go away in November having scraped ice off the car. We did not use heating but we had a few gas mantle lights. No problem. Fast forward 35 years and with arthritis in my spine once in the caravan I set for 21C.

As for heating in the awning. we no longer have an awning. When we did, at Christmas, I might well sit in the awning for half an hour with a glass of scotch after evening meal. I would have a 2kw fan heater aimed at my legs with the caravan door open into the awning. After my scotch it would go off. What I do notice often is folk that have all the roof lights open wide throughout the evening when the temperature outside is 5 C and I think that is a tad wasteful. 25 years ago I had my father living with us as he had come out of hospital and needed building up. He felt the cold and I well remember him coming out of his bed sit room, through our sitting room where he and the family would socialise through the day and into the living area. My wife was out and I was in a T shirt with all the windows open wide to cool down.
