Due to difficulties migrating the original thread, which was massively interesting and popular with members, I am starting another one until the original can be found and migrated to the Forum. I apologise to the original OP but I think this is far too important not to be available. Personally, I think, because of the massive moves in technology recently, this subject should have a section by itself. I don't suppose the CC would think about that? So, anything about Solar Panels, LED lighting, Inverters, Safefill even. Anything that assists the caravanners to go off grid in fact - and saves money!!

I was surprised to see our clubs competition is embracing solar power by producing an info sheet click here to visit and is downloadable as a pdf.

So who will be at the show? Loads of info for those thinking of non EHU caravanning with companies there like Photonic Universe, Falcon Electronics, Battery manufacturers etc. I am there on Tues and Friday. Have a good one.

Actually John, thinking about it, I’m not at all surprised. The C&CC seem to be much more in tune with the possibilities of getting off grid as they have many campers in their ranks. The Solar Panel has given campers so much more than they had before. The C&MHC are interested in selling pitches with EHU for extra profit.

It's truly helpful, too - really shows the C&MC how it should be done.

Thanks for the link.

Afaik all the glamping pods are fully connected to the mains. So why on Earth would the caravan club limited t/a caravan and motorhome club, want to waste their time giving such irrelevant information.

It's a matter of opinion as to its relevancy. The club must recognise there is a diverse membership just as the C&CC have.

To many, the CC are missing a trick by not embracing the fact that technology has moved on and that not everyone wants or needs to be hooked up all the time.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek . I believe access to a Caravan or Motorhome should be a prerequisite of being a member of the Caravan and Motorhome club. The clue is in the name really.

Sorry guys but I just had to smile at the photo on page 16 of the Oct issue of the club mag. Now, in the past, I have been , I believe, by a few members, viewed as something from a bygone age due to my love of simple, basic sites. Well, take a look at this photo!! We’re even sitting out on chippings and the grass areas, for what they are worth are totally ignored. Is it me?? That photo sums up for me the ‘suburbia gone caravanning’ mentality of the modern caravanner! Barren is the word that comes to mind. Bridlington is it? Not for me. Oh, give me trees, a green field and individuality !! 😂😂
