Yes indeedy!!! What a good idea - the driver can see a peg from whatever side he is reversing from. I commented on it to the warden, who said 2 pegs have been rolled out across the network "because some people have difficulty in understanding the rule when there was only one peg."
Posted on 08/05/2023 11:51 by CornersteadyI've been pitching nose for over twenty years at one site, and always actively encouraged.
But JK is correct, from previous discussions and threads on here the rules have always been the same on club sites, that is one could park nose in or reverse in, but incorrectly a very small number of wardens decided to apply their own unofficial rules.
I recall a particular case on here where following a similar incident to yours but on a club site where an apology was issued by the club and something along the lines of that particular warden would receive 're-training'.
I also recall some posters taking the published statement from the club with them on their travels in case other wardens had the same idea.

We don’t stay often on Club sites but stayed on one for a night last year which had two pegs. Despite not having a problem positioning correctly to one peg, it was easier. And if we must have pegs and if it reduces the amount of hassle for wardens, so be it. It is not the pegs that put me off Club sites.

"Even so as I posted some wardens did take matters into their own hands and this was perhaps one of them?"
We met one like that at Hunters Moon. Would give no reason other than "That’s the way it is on this site". That was about 10 years ago but we never returned to that site.

I can remember when we first joined in the 80s you had to pitch with the peg in the middle of the van. It was easy at Nunnykirk, our “go to” site for weekends. There’s so much room just drive on from back of pitch, remove peg drive over replace peg. Harder on sites were you had to reverse “blind” that’s why it was changed to offside corner.

Yet another club site where nose-in is the norm on many pitches. Here there are several terraced rows where practically every unit is nose in. The only exception I’ve seen is a rear lounge motorhome. Everyone is apparently happy and enjoying the sun although the wind is decidedly chilly. Oh, and the two peg system appears to be working extremely well.
