Non-electric pitches

You are right - there are only 18 Club sites offering economy pitches without paying for electricity. You might like to branch out to CLs and independent sites to find more of that sort. 

You might find this thread useful, M&M.

What sort of opinion are you after M&M? 

For better or worse depending on your viewpoint the club only offers a few sites with a non EHU option.

Some will voice a valid opinion that there should be more and other will voice an equally valid opinion that there should be less or stay the same, and the club may look at occupancy rates and see which is more popular with members? 

I don't think there's going to be any significant increase, if at all, on non EHU option club sites anytime soon so as ET says if that is what you want then you may have to use non club sites.

Or (as an opinion/suggestion) don't plug in your EHU lead and use club sites

CLs may well be the way to go.  A pity the new Club web site doesnt allow you to search for Off grid sites!

This web site: CL Booking <info@clbooking.co.uk> which is run & organised by a number of CLs does allow you to search for off grid.

When browsing a few CLs the other day I noticed several were introducing some form of electricity metering.  My guess is that as electricity prices rises this will become more common. And of course Club sites will become more expensive.

hja, here is a link to the list of non-EHU CL, which can be found in the CL section of these discussions.

Thanks all for your replies I've used CL the CCC CLUB do a lot more non electric and an app Park 4 NIGHT just think CMC CLUB could do more I do prefer the security of club sites.

One of the easiest ways to enjoy cheaper non ehu vanning whilst having the safety of a site is to join in with CAMC rallies or C&Cc THS. These operate all year round and vary in size and location. You don't have to join a centre to participate and they're worth a try. 

 PS you can be as sociable or as quiet as you like in these places but you'll always get a friendly welcome and some provide more things to do eg walks, visits out and get togethers, there is no pressure to join in! 

Cheers brue it's a thought never been to a rally in all the years being a member.i do have ehu in the van just like the independence and value now the colder weather arriving I will use ehu.

I have long held the view that what should be done is some pitches (preferably all) with electric meters should be available at each site. That gives you the choice to use as little or as much as you like. The Club is supposed to looking into metering of pitches but as usual they don't inform the membership how its going or what they have found. A fith of my nights away this year have been off grid, almost as many nights as I spent on Club sites. I might have used more Club nights if there was more choice over EHU

peedee

And this would indicate that the Club were really encompassing motorhomes into membership. I appreciate many motorhomes do want ehu but many don’t, especially now many new vans come with lithium batteries.
