Posted on 31/12/2023 17:47 by TinwheelerYT, it’s horses for courses. Clearly SQ (or any club site?) isn’t for you but it’ll suit others just fine. Can’t we accept that folk have different needs and likes regarding sites? I know you’ve been to a few that I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole but that’s fine as nobody is forcing me to. 👍🏻

Which was what i posted above...but thanks for the endorsement...
but, you've got my site habits wrong...
Thanks to the club's free night voucher ill be using a club site this coming month.
Of course, folk do have different needs when on site so wouldnt it be nice to be able to choose an SP (or not) on a site (as on the vast majority of club sites) just like we will be able to choose our power requirements moving forward?
if a service is separately chargeable, as an SP is, then customers should have the choice to take up the service or not.
im more than happy for folk who want SP to book and pay for them. My point is that every visitor to a site, SQ, should have the opportunity to book a non SP pitch.
the club is apparently promoting 'choice' across the network by constantly telling us there are non EHU pitches available 'at many sites' yet with a new development like this, they decide to have all the pitches set at the SP level. I think that's wrong.
of course, as per the mantra, I (or anyone else) can 'go elsewhere' which will probably be my 'choice'.
im sure the site will be great, probably full, so well done club....

Posted on 31/12/2023 18:00 by SteveLSimilarly, not everyone needs/wants a fully serviced pitch, so what we have at SQ is the continuing cycle of rising prices where customers at SQ will be charged SP prices even if they only use the tap sparingly or even not at all.
Being all service pitches there won’t be any standard pitches to reference the price to. Therefore it will be interesting to see at what level they fix prices. I am afraid YT you are going to have to accept that a lot of us like service pitches, even if it doesn’t make economic sense and the club is unlikely to have a problem filling them.

I really can't see what all the fuss is about here - admittedly we've never been motor homers and are unlikely ever to be, so perhaps someone can explain.
As I posted up thread we visited Totnes back in October and used the car park being mentioned. Now, having considered some of the "long term" residents I certainly wouldn't want to stay there overnight. But the experienced motor homers who are casting so much opprobrium at the club seem to think it's fine - so surely you'd use that instead of paying "inflated" club prices for facilities you don't need?
And it's only about an extra few hundred metres to walk into Totnes.
As Steve says, many motor homers apparently like serviced pitches and will pay for them. So let them holiday in the way they choose and do your own thing surely?
Edit - thinking about it again, surely even if one was given the option of staying but not paying for the unwanted facilities, the price would still be far to high for those used to "aire" type sites or basic CLs?
