Perhaps you don't realise but I pay already?
Can I ask you what about the hundreds of thousands (last time we did this calculation it was near to a million) of pounds it cost the club to install meters across all the sites for each and every single pitch? 200 plus sites about an average of 50 to 100 pitches on each?
Remember that the club cannot and will not get this money back from the sale of electricity to us, it will have to come from somewhere, either current reserves or get the site fees up to to get the money back. Is that what you want? I'd rather the club spent its money on more sites/pitches/refurbishments.
Also can I ask do you do write to a hotel's forum to say the same thing?

Our Pegasus with Truma heating/hot water,is usually all year run on Eco for hotwater and Elec1 for heating ,when required ,the highest being 23deg as now,with 16deg at night and when we go out, At this time of year we will use elec2 to warm the van when first arriving on site,we have as yet never had to use the gas ,We do make sure it is still working at times by just firing it up and checking exhaust flue

Posted on 09/12/2019 18:16 byWhile I agree with you that no matter what they say folk are not going to go out and leave the heating running on a meter,I know I wouldnt. However having to use metered supply at times I detest it and even prefer to pay higher pitch fees for "all in" EHU than keep thinking about the bill at the end of our stay on a meter..

Wrong David. I would. As CS stated earlier, we go away to enjoy ourselves and that doesn't include comming back to a cold MH. Also, as mentioned, I am also not convinced leaving it on the thermostat uses more energy than heating a cold van. However, now we have refillable gas we would use that in preference, if it saved money.

And I would too, indeed have done so. Earlier visits to cottages we had to read the meters and pay whatever we had used which we did quite happily. We also used whatever heat and lighting we needed to have a comfortable holiday without even thinking for one second what it was costing us.
I personally find it just incredible that people holiday any other way. To spend (hundreds of) thousands on your outfit, then fuel, and in your case ferry and insurance costs and then worry about a few pounds per day is beyond belief.
Either one hasn't done one's homework properly to tae into account for the extra costs or one is trying to emulate the lead character in A Christmas Carol.
One is on holiday!

..........meanwhile, happily enjoying ourselves with heating on 1kw, up on top of Moors, it’s -1c outside. Both in t shirts. Dog panting. What you might call a well insulated little MH........been out of site all day as well, took 5 mins on gas heating to get us warm. π
