If you are a member on the club are you allowed to go on a site to only use the motorhome point I.e. water and empty tanks?

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

You might think differently if you had to lift a hernia inducing drain cover to empty your waste wateryell Up until only a few years ago Club sites were designed almost exclusively for the easy use of caravanners. Only of late have motorhomers had improved waste water disposal. I am sure the only reason sites have motorhome water refill points back then is to stop motorhomes blocking site roads by filling up with water at regular service points!!! Many site facilities are mutually beneficial to both caravanners and motorhomers but given the increasing number of motorhomes visiting Club site the Club have had to think about how to change things, a little, to make life a bit easier for both traditions.

The OP is about MHs not stopping using sites as a dump station.

And then there is my mindset "if people choose to camp where the facilities do not meet their requirements it is up to them to meet their needs and not for CMC to provide".

Not differently at all, I would have no problem with a caravaner driving on site to empty their waste for an agreed fee and then motoring off wherever...

But they will probably park in the parking area and not enter the residential part of the site, or go through the site barriers and cause possible congestion?

Most MHSP are within the site and to use them one has to enter the site, and even as you posted yesterday about where they are on the site at BW? Imagine a few MH not staying doing that over the course of a day?

Also it would mean extra unnecessary traffic on site at perhaps busy times and reducing safety?
