Empty Serviced Pitches

Posted on 19/05/2023 20:01 by mbee1

We always try to book a service pitch but often have to have a standard pitch if nights are unavailable. However, I don’t think we’ve been to a site where we couldn’t have had a service pitch and, I agree, it’s so frustrating.

Likewise, why do people book a service pitch and don’t connect the waste and water up to the mains?

People may book a serviced pitch so they have the water and waste nearby. Although I connect up the waste water to the drain I don't leave the mains connected as I only fill when needed. Perhaps the difference between caravans and motorhomes?

We're currently on a 10 night stay on a club, members only site, when we booked we wanted a service pitch but two nights (Saturdays) of our stay were unavailable so we booked a standard pitch. The large majority of  the service pitches here have stood empty apart from the weekends, meaning that the club are losing out on the extra revenue that people like us would have provided, it's bloody frustrating. Surely a minimum stay would prevent this. Once set up, I didn't fancy moving twice!

This would be discriminatory, and unfair to those in work

It would also be less than fair to those who want to tour and if more than a couple of days almost certainly result in the loss of a significant number of members.

 Why do you think those in work do not also want to tour when they can ?
