CAMC pitch markers

The new pegging system is to make things 'simple'....obviously...can't have members pitching where they like, even if it is compliant with the safety rules....perhaps not compliant with the pegs.

I can see where you're coming from (we have loads of experience of parking/pitching in many and various scenarios from huge pitches to tightly packed Aires) but the Club isn't the sort of organisation that does 'flexible' im afraid.

enjoy your stay despite.....👍

Perhaps you would have had a better response if you had talked over what you wanted to do first. It does mention doing this at the bottom right of the pitching diagram.

Edit 

The post was removed while I was posting, but Rod 10 had pitched in a different manner to indicated on the instructions.

I did try discussing it but all I got was the stock response of “It’s not how we want you to pitch” which is a sentence but not an explanation. I remained very reasonable, reiterating the fact I was not breaching any rule or regulation and trying to understand why they wanted me to pitch differently but they would not discuss it. 

The only issue I would say with the new 2 peg system is that the area on the left (as you look at the pitch) is smaller than the right.

This is fine if you park the outfit in the standard way ie reverse British style vehicle into pitch. This gives you the bigger side where you would be sitting out or erecting an awning or canopy. 

However if you have a foreign van then you have little space to erect an awning or canopy. 

We have a British style MH but often pitch nose in as this aids levelling the van without need of using ramps. If we were to do so on one of the 2 peg pitches we would have a vast  wasted space at the wrong side of the van and insufficient space to deploy the canopy at the other side. 

We have stopped on quite a few with two pegs now and have found that it varies, I assume depending on maintaining the 6 metre RV separation on tighter spaced sites. On most pitches it has been how you describe, although there have been some where the space has been larger to the left instead.  However on sites where there is more room we have found the pegs generally centrally spaced and enough spare space between the pegs to have a huge space on the awning side which ever way you go in.
