Posted on 28/10/2024 14:54 by CornersteadyI think it's fairly clear in the club rules Micky.
The MH you talk about was it a six berth? Even if not if they all paid the per person fee then it is allowed. Sleeping in the awning has been going on for as long as I've been a member and would be impossible to police if it isn't. We've done it on one very warm night and sleeping in pup tents is in the rules.
There is no limit on the number of dogs and again I've often seen pets sleep in the awning.
Providing they (adults and animals) make no noise or affect others then for me it's up to them?

Hi Corners, those were the points I was making. However, all I asked for were commonly held and practised ‘rules’.
I believe the motorhome in question was a four berth with two other adults sleeping in the awning. I’ve also seen campervans/ campers pitched alongside caravans both units providing overnight sleeping accommodation. Once we noticed a motorhome and a campervan on the same pitch doing the same. Now I understand the rules about all of these and the dog issue but it seems not all of us do which has in the past prompted discussion (on CT) and on occasions raised eyebrows from the ill informed. My main point was the firebreak issue, if these are not contravened then surely the size and name given to the tent is not an issue, is it?

Again if the two in the awning had paid their person fee then there is no problem I would think. We had two sleeping once in the awning and they were paid for and the wardens knew where they would be sleeping.
However it's in the rules that there must be 6m between adjacent walls of a caravan/MH/campervan/trailer tent and the next one and 3m between any other parts of the outfit like awning, tents, and cars. So no there should never be a campervan next to a caravan/MH as you posted and not on the same pitch.
And no I don't think so, the rules talk about sleeping tents, pup tents, cooking, and storage tents.

Now that’s exactly what I mean, Corners, I’m of the belief that a camper/motorhome can be alongside a caravan on a pitch as long as cooking/gas availability is only possible in one unit. Further more only one electric hook up would be allowed but you could run an extension from your caravan from one to the other as you would be allowed to do for to heat an awning. I’ve seen quite a few caravans towed by campervans/motorhomes doing this. Just a precise clarification is all that is needed. I believe all within the rules.

Thankfully the club allows just one night bookings across the network. Other providers will insist on a minimum of two, occasionally more so half of your wish is there already. Long may this remain, it’s a major attraction for many tourers who will spend multiple consecutive nights on club sites, just not on the same site.

We have found that a lot of CLs, CS and small private sites will actually let you have just a night if you ask, and they are not busy. They are not going to turn down income of any kind if it is a quiet period. But it is good that the Club only impose minimum nights to access special offers…………good, but annoying as well.
