Posted on 05/12/2019 13:31 by LongtimecaravannerWhen you take into account the price of electricity I find it incredible that CLs charge the same in winter as in summer, especially with some having the mentality that I have paid for it so I am going to use it.

No, what I meant was that in winter some people will go out for the day and leave the heating on full pelt so it is warm enough when they come in five or six hours later, or perhaps have the heating on all night with a light weight duvet.

We have on our CL a 2 tier site fees , summer and winter being £2 dearer , but as electrical usage goes up each year will need to revise these soon. and no people do not leave heaters on in summer but they do air conditioning and that eats the units up.

and really what is wrong with that? Would you turn off the heating in winter in a Hotel?
I really go on holiday with my caravan to enjoy myself, no difference to any hotel or B&B. Staying in my caravan is not an endurance test, I expect to be kept warm. It is up to the site owner to work out a rate which makes the site profitable, not for me to help him/her with that?

We certainly fit that trend to some extent. When we are away in December we would normally go out for around 5 hours and would draw some blinds and roof light vents and partly draw blinds on sunny side. Usually we would turn heating down to 16 or 17C but certainly not off. At night when readying for bed we drop heating own to 16C
