We were staying on the North Yorkshire site at Whitby and our neighbours were heating their  awning all day. No wonder the prices are going up on the Caravan Club sites.

As an analogy, you can travel up a 'down' escalator if you walk fast enough but you don't half expend a lot of energy. How many would do that?

Folk that enjoy staying in shape to ensure they’re not chastised for their size perhaps🤔

On this one. i hold my hands up. Though we do not heat the awnings if is no being used, we do if we are socializing or eating ,though we do everything we can, to make the awning as air tight as possible

The blown up out of proportion posts, about I have paid for my electricity in my pitch? price is used so often to cover the inconsiderate use of using heaters to heat the sky in awnings yell

Then there are posts knocking those who drive vehicles that are needed to follow their type of holiday but do not have any real answersundecided

As for the warden we know and he was not the only one who would trip the bollard for that pitch ,when noting radiant 2kw plus with no one in attendance in awningscool 

Those who use club sites will or should have noticed that the later type of bollards the trips are now accessable by the pitch userundecided and the even later type of bollard has to be set by the pitch user before use and trips when the  umbilical leads plug is removedundecided

So any one can now trip or reset their (or otherswink)as often as they like when overloading the supply. rather than running to the site staff to get it done, cool

Ps the Oft quoted 16amp supply is the max, and if there is a full site 16amp being drawn .on all pitches the main trips on site could activate , hence the notices to think of others when using the site supplysurprised

Very minimal I would say as most energy would be absorbed by the person/object. A crude analogy would be like boiling water to 100C in a microwave, does the air get heated to anywhere near that temperature, or even slightly heated? 

As an aside but one never hears about using AC units?

You do Wardens no favours when you paint them in a bad light as you have recently, I’ve never met a Warden who is anything but friendly, helpful & industrious. You suggest they are more like Army drill instructors on power trips. I find this most unfair & maligning☹️

My issue is not with the use of heaters in an awning , but with the irresponsible and unnecessary of heaters ,and going out and leaving heaters on ,defiantly falls into that definition

You really do like to exaggerate when you postfrown how is a warden who is thinking of the majority on a site i rather than those who think only of themselves,  your words an "Army drill instructor?"undecided ,

That is what when Questioned? and some site staff trying to keep others on site safe,  there are some who then jump to to the defence. of said inconsiderate people probably some.  the said perpetrators or in a vain attempt to try to score points as you may have noticed

No, not a new member and i know each outlet on a bollard has its own MCB, but you said the warden tripped the bollard, not an individual outlet on the bollard.

 Perhaps it would help people if you made sure your statements were accurate.

Good try, but then I expected that sort of replyundecided
