We've just come back from our 1st ever CL trip to Gorsgoch Farm in Anglesey. So far we've only done larger sites with facilities etc. We had a good time and enjoyed the informality & peace & quite. We turned up at the site pitched where we wanted and got on with our holiday.
We will now visit other CL's and also in the future return to Gorsgoch Farm.

Posted on 18/04/2017 15:20 by InaDAs already said, you can use gas for cooking, washing, fridge runs on gas, as does (water)heating. If you get a solar panel fitted you'll be able to keep your battery topped up, and with careful use, even watch TV! Must admit we don't bother much with TV, especially in summer.
When we go to France for 6-7 weeks, probably half that time or more we don't use EHU, just battery power and gas. Gives more options of where to stay and also on some sites pitches without EHU can be in a nicer (quieter) part of a site.

as Ina says, not only some CLs dont have a hook up, but also Temp Hol Sites (THS) and some aires for overnighting on longer trips abroad or for sightseeing in a city aire....
obviously, youre gradually getting to know your van, but having a MH rather than caravan, opens up a whole world of just pulling in, preparing a meal, watching a bit of TV, keeping warm etc, all without going anywhere near a EHU bollard...
i guess this all seems a bit 'advanced/ambitious', 'risky' even, but once you understand the ease with which you can really 'tour' in the true sense of the word with your MH, youll have far more options open to you than you did previously...
i wish you luck, keep the questions coming...

We are out for first time this year shortly, fingers crossed we are anyway! Going to a favourite CL just to chill out, change of scenery, watch the Tour De Yorkshire. CL is on the route, so no hassle of getting a spot, we shall have the comfort of MH while we take in all the atmosphere.
Thats the beauty of CLs, something different every trip. May your week be warm and dry, cosy and in a place you love!
