Servicing calls at CLs for Motorcaravans

But those times are when some on the CLs are generally either leaving or arriving, so any non-stayer would cause problems on some sites, depending where the facilities are of course. How about between 3 and 4 pm when most new arrivals will have set up and before those already staying on the site are returning from their day out.

Another reason it would not be very easy to manage

I can’t speak for Scotland really as no idea of where BM is touring, and why it was so difficult last year. It does appear that there are less CLs, less BritStop like locations available, but from past experience of touring some areas up there, it doesn’t seem to lack campsites or caravan parks. We were up there three weeks early September and as I said in an earlier post, winged it without booking more than a day ahead, and averaged around £13.50 per night.

I don’t think we will have any problems finding a pitch, we need a lot less than some folks like or need, might need a bit of compromise on locations. There are over 2000 CLs, only Members can use them, and let’s face it, many don’t or won’t for a variety of reasons. What we pay might be a tad more, but really not worried to be honest. Bring it on....😁

I think I can see your point .  After all:

As some site offer hard standings I expect them all to do so.

As some sites offer EHU I expect them all to do so.

As some sites offer free WIFI I expect them all to do so.

As some site offer fully serviced pitches I expect them all to so.

Etc, etc.

Would you agree?

Well that does add some important context to your earlier post:

A survey last year in which 9000 owners responded indicated 96 percent of owners were willing to pay £10 per night just to park overnight and would pay more if there were motorhome services available as well.

These 9000 you initially posted were not a random sample that represent all motorhomers but a very biased one, that is they all want Aires as they are campaigning for them.

It's a bit like asking 9000 smokers the price of a pack of cigarettes and should we have more places to buy them. Not saying that MH-ing is the same as smoking but you get the idea?

Saying that 96% of 9000 out of 10000 who want Aires are prepared to pay £10 really tells us nothing about what the general population is prepared to pay? 

What grouping would you suggest that they asked?

Some members of both major clubs, expect all the facilities you mention on all both clubs sites now , and that is  although when going to book it does advise what is available 

some friends of ours regaled us at several  in van or at home visits the unbelievable antics of members, when on both faciity and non facility sites 

Like walking round a non facility site in dressing gown looking for the shower block

Actually  my post wasn't correct which shows how little notice CS has taken of it.

The survey was  carried out in September and publshed in November and was advertised widely on social media. I definitely recall seeing it on "Fun" the largest UK motorhome forum on the web.I believe it was also advertised on Pub Stopovers.

peedee

No I did notice your corrected post on page 9  as I said prepared to pay in the last part of my post . You said acceptable I recall?

Either way, in your original and corrected post, you cannot deny it is a very biased sample and really cannot be taken as representing the general population of all MH.

All those responding were members of one particular group and one group that is campaigning for Aires. One cannot say it really represents anything but their own interests in the matter. It is hardly surprising that  96% were in favour of a course of action that would benefit them?

As I said a bit like asking smokers about if they are in favour of something to do with smoking.

I really am neutral on this topic either way, but I think that posts should give a balanced viewpoint?

LoL.  Thanks for the clarification PD .  I seem to remember seeing it on the 'Fun'.  Some 47,000 members I believe, plenty in the UK and many in other countries .
