New CL: fantasy price

Next week its the LLeyn Peninsular. With CLs at £15+ we will boycott and use the Euro pitches at Haven- Pwllheli at about £10 per night. H/S  EHU, T/v point, Grey waste,full toilet facilities. Neither the CC or Cls seem to appeciate that competition is getting keener and with new entrants in the market.

We are on this site now and it's very nice.

The touring park is away from the busy static van area and if you are lucky with your pitch allocation you should have no complaints. 

Toilet facilities superb and of course fully serviced pitches.  

We have enjoyed very good weather, even managed a quick swim in the sea.  Ha very quick.

Not saying I would want to be here in July paying silly money per night but for out of season you can't really beat it.

agreed..purely from a 'technical' standpoint, the site is clean, pitches are large, fully serviced, decent facilities, quiet, well placed, wardens friendly etc, etc....all the things you want from site

.....oh, and we paid arounf £6 a night for the 10 days we were there....

again agreed, not necessarily for us in peak (are we snobs?) but anytime outside thses periods is a cracking site at an amazing price.

We have recently returned from a trip and was chatting to a CL owner and he told me that the electrician who checks his hook-up points told him that a caravan uses an average of £3 a day electricity. That would equate to £90 for a month, I dont use anywhere near that at home and we have all the usual gadgets on, TV, Internet, Laptop, not to mention the usual white goods. He is increasing his pricing by £3 a night on the strength of that.

 

I can't help wondering how the electrician would know that. Sounds like guesswork to me.

My guess that a typical cost for a caravan would be £1 a day, more in winter if using Alde.

£3 seems way over the top and encourages people to waste electricity because they have paid a lot for it so they will blooming well use it. Not great environmentally speaking.

I would be tempted to offer a 10 amp supply and charge £1 per day (or meter it)

Read somewhere it's illegal for a CL to charge more for electricity than they originally paid for it.

 

£3 per day is £1095 per year which would be virtually impossible to achieve on a typical campsite supply of 10 to 16 amps and with a typical caravan's equipment. A domestic supply is normally about 60 amps (approx 5 times a campsite supply) and £1095 would still be more than a lot of people pay annually for electricity even with higher powered appliances used at home.

It is not legal to re-sell electricity at more than cost price.

Tinwheeler we have a CL open all year and the CL DD is £248 per month which includes information hut with laundry facilities and 16amp hook ups, the shower block which has its own metered supply is £40 per month, the greatest usuage in one day on the CL alone in winter was 220KW it is always far in excess of our own usage in the house. Hope this helps.

 

Gibbo, thanks for your figures but my point is that £3 per day consumption per EHU is an overestimation by the electrician referred to earlier. 

 , Hmmm, With regards to how much you pay on site for EHU,,,,don't forget you are not (in most cases) using that at home as well !!
