Caravan and Motorhome club route planner- useless!

It’s only a commercial route planner. I can’t imagine CAMC programming their own, can you really? However, that is why CAMC provide final approach instructions on the web pages and in the handbook and tell you to use them.

I've always found it useful although not for the final directions where the club instructions need to be followed. I only use the actual mapping as a guide for the route and timing so don't expect total accuracy.

Recomend AA big road atlas.  £11.80

Can’t say I have ever used it. Just checked and it looks as though they just use post code for location. If you put the one for the site into Google Maps (rather than the CC route planning version) it takes you to the same location. Just using a post code is risky as they often cover large areas.

I always start with locating the site entrance  on Google maps and see what route is suggested. Then using street view check out any possible problem areas and wether the final approach conforms to the CC instructions. I them replicate the route in the MH sat nav, using way points where necessary to force it along the right route. My sat nav does recognise the vans dimensions, so often no fine tuning is required.

I rarely, if ever, look at the club's final approach directions .... & I've always got there 😉

 ...  where the club instructions need to be followed.

 

Need or suggested? 😉

You certainly wouldn’t have wanted to follow them to one site we visited back when we first had a Caravan. The safe route took you the wrong way along a recently created one way street.😂 

Need, I would say. I always follow them.
