Motorhome service point on sites

Posted on 09/09/2021 10:58 by young thomas

The 'MHSP in the middle' just shows how little CC knew (or have learned) about motorhoming....

we were on Baltic Wharf parked just past the MHSP....on leaving I had to drive all the way round the site to empty and then around again to get out!

every day at leaving time you can imagine every MH doing two unnecessary laps of the site thanks to the poor location and the one way system...

ok, BW struggles for space but it gives the idea of how poor thinking/design can have a huge effect on traffic flow and patience...

as DK says, we're too far down the line with many, many poorly located MHSP to 'allow' visitors....adding a drive over grid improves things but can't address the location issues throughout the network.

Motor caravan waste points as service pitches are on older sites  and yet to be upgraded ,installed near to the already installed drainage systems,rather than the add costs of what could be long additional waste pipes that could, in lots of instances, also need connecting  to the sewerage pumps 

Evan on new and refubished sites although motor caravan servise points are made far more accesable they would also need to be within the site drains and pumps layout,hopefully also inside the security barriers ,

Talking of mindsets..........How come people who choose a motorised caravan expect to be treated differently to lesser mortals who choose a touring caravan?

It will be interesting to see what they do at Clumber, seeing as it’s such a major upgrade. The current drive over grids are poorly located close to walls and only one of the two is accessible with our MH, unless I drive the wrong way in a very busy area. Hopefully they were just cheap and cheerful stopgap measures and the new ones will be better designed.

I don’t see it as being treated differently. You are free to empty your waste master down the drive over grid, I often did when we had a caravan. Given that the club have styled itself a Motorhome club well as caravan, it is only right and sensible that they provide these basic facilities.

I think that noneplussed's post might be in reference to the provision of dump facilities for members not staying on site. Read original OP Steve
