Electricity Extra?

Ours stays on all the time under the control of the thermostat but I do reduce the temperature a little at night or when we go out.

I'm happy to be charged separately for electricity provided it's metered. It's what happens at home. 

If I was running a site I would prefer no meter. If a few abuse the system then I end up charging about 30p more per night say. Sooner that than having to read meters on departure and faff with collection when I or my staff could be otherwise engaged.

I would consider it a nuisance for all

So there's a wide variety on patterns of heating use already. 

I rarely have the heating on at all. German van with good insulation so don't need it. If it is on it's at the lowest power setting and switched off at night. Don't use an awning heater. Out most of the time with heating switched off  

I'm probably using less power than most on the average club site yet some think I should be charged more. Cheers for that. Very inclusive 

The only thing I have on when absent from the van is the fridge and battery charger. As for trying to heat an awning. A waste of time. If I'm feeling the cold, I retreat into the van.

Believe you me ET it does make a difference. You should see the lengths some go to to limit use when they have to pay for what they use.

Well if paying around 12p/kw hour I would not be worrying personally.

We often leave the heating on in the 'van whilst we are out but set low and unlikely to come on. This changes however over Christmas when temperatures are closer to 0C rather than 10C. Then it is usually set for 18C  

18c is arctic, who does one avoid iced tea at such low temperatures.

We have the Alde heating, so prefer to keep the fabric of the van warm when we are out so we come back to a reasonable temperature in the van.

Overnight we use the night set back feature, we prefer a  cool bedroom so set it to 13 degrees.  In the morning it steps up to 18 degrees, and when sitting around in the evening we use 21 degrees.

When out, in colder weather we leave it on 16-18 degrees, in summer it would of  course be switched off.

We never heat our awning, we only use a Fiamma Zip, and prefer to sit inside if it is too cold to sit out.

No problem with metered power, if it is expensive then we use gas as that is cheaper for us.

Joining this conversation a bit late, but was on a CC site in December, and the warden there had two large electric heaters in his awning!

Faffing around with temperatures, just leave it turned up the only adjustment needed is how much to open the window.
