Can I empty clean water onto pitch?

SL, they didn't need to consider whether they would cover anything. I never had a problem. If I did then I'd sort it. I've never been a slave to warranty's, I do things that suit me & that has never included worrying about jumping thru manufacturers hoops.

Rocky I accept your take on the situation, you have never had a problem. However, I assume manufactures don't go to the trouble of providing false information. Therefore, I think I will continue to follow it. If it is unnecessary, I will have wasted a small amount of my time. To drain on pitch, or not, is quite another question.

SL, they're hoops, nothing more or less. They employ folk to invent 'get out clauses' similar to insurance companys selling 'extreme sports' cover that(in the small print) excludes-rock climbing, skiing, bungee jumping, scuba diving etc. we have all read the horror stories of manufacturers warranties. Not for me-no hoops=no stress

Well said, Rocky. It's unusual to find someone of a like mind where caravan warranties are concerned. The dealers and manufacturers will shift heaven and earth to get out of meeting a claim. Been there, done that and now we go our own stress free way and repair any problems ourselves. The relatively small cost involved is far outweighed by the saving in time and hassle that dealing with the big white sharks involves.

I'd go with that but unfortunately 'big' issues like water ingress, or floor delamination mean it is crucial to follow their warranty conditions. Don't give them the ammunition to weasel out of correcting their mistakes!

It can all be fixed, Micky. It's perfectly possible to look after and  check a van yourself and there are far cheaper repairers around than main dealers would have you believe. So many people buy vans hundreds of miles from home - think of the hassle they could save themselves by not needing to return to that dealership.

Oh the Motormoaners are ganging up when most open their taps fully and overwhelming the drain so it runs all over the road, besides not bothering to align properly

Steady  on  Dave  I  Find  that   a  tad  unkind      !

Had  you  watched  me  prep[aring  for  the  drive  home  from  Durham  Grange  on  Tuesday  you  would  have  seen  me  align  Grey  tap  with  Grid (  a  good  drain point  on  this  site !! ),  drain  fully  then  reposition  &  empty  fresh  water  into  same  point  &  finish  with  a  splash  all  round  from  the  site's  hose !

Personally  I  would  find  the  dumping  of  any  waste,  be  it  fresh  or  grey,  on  any  pitch,  grass,  hardstanding  or  Serviced  purely  a  demonstration  of  idleness,  nothing  less.

I'm sure Brian you do it to perfection  It was a tongue in cheek reply as shown by the inclusion of appropriate smilies  but I did stay on the pitch adjacent to the emptying point at Baltic Wharf when this women emptied it full flow, which then streamed across the road onto my hardstanding.

 

Micky Boy, you don't get it. They dont weasel out of something I don't recognise. I've always accepted full responsibility for everything re LV. No hoops=no stress. Jobs a gud un

I get it Rocky but there are occasions where their negligence could render your pride and joy almost worthless! They need to be taken to account! They will wriggle out and we can give them the opportunity!

Disregarding what opinion you may have re draining 10 L onto the pitch. Is there any regulation / rule against it? There seems to be rules about a lot of other things, but I don't recall one about that. Although I do recall something about not draining hot water onto grass, which I don't think even us advocates of draining would ever condone.

I suspect CC thought common sense would dictate not to chuck water of any sort onto pitches, Steve. They can't create rules to cover every little occurrence of day to day living on site.

You surprise me TW, have you not been reading the numerous posts on CT decrying the rule laden culture of the CC "and that's why we don't use CC sites but CL's" comments.

but they have said you can wash/wipe your caravan down with clean water only?

Why should my post surprise you, Steve? You don't believe all you read, do you?

Personally I don't find it stressful  all, to ask a manufacturer to live up to their responsibilities, as long as I have followed any guidance on use that is given. If we had not done so we would have been faced with a bill for several hundred pounds last year, and no there was no cheaper DIY fix.
