Good point, BB. I'm all in favour of people making decisions without undue bias being heaped upon them. 👍🏻

as my old boss used to say...."theres more than one way to skin a carrot....."....

Hitch, i agree there are a multitude of different ways in which we can all enjoy this great hobby of ours, but rest assured, there will be many, many MHers on aires, stellplatze and sostas all over europe this week where enjoying their hobby wont involve an EHU point.

solar panels, decent batteries and a cheap source of gas will be the order of the day, and these folk will be enjoying ALDE heating (or hot water), satellite TV, and cordon bleu cooking exactly the same as anyone connected to EHU on a campsite.

i will be doing a fair bit of it myself from Monday, but also some stays on sites where i will be using a hookup....as its included.

so no right or wrong way, for me its both ways

IMHO, Merve is just a nice guy who has discovered a different way of enhancing his camping options and, despite me already having plenty of experience of what he describes, i have no problem in him spreading his joy....

however, if this doesnt appeal to someone reading this, or other similar threads, then dont bother to comment as this wont be of much interest.

whether folk like it or not, camping with EHU is currently the default ('standard') choice for most CC members and, as Merve has found the technology to help him find more locations for less outlay, he just wants to share this and, perhaps give others the same knowledge to help broaden their horizons if that's what they want to do.

some wont and some will.....however, lets hope they get to debate/question these options sensibly without any undue bias, especially from those who have no experience of the technology being discussed nor any desire to make use of it.

That seems an awfully tall horse BB. Careful when you get down.

I doubt that many on the forum are unaware of the possibilities of going off EHU. Those that choose not to embrace Solar Panels etc and that lifestyle do so because they know that on the types of site that they wish to use that offers no benefit. 

I am with you in as much as I suspect that, like me, you believe that all should do as they wish with regard to site choice. If your post is prompted by digs at Merve on the Morrison thread I would say that Merve is probably able to grin wryly knowing that he turned the thread to his own needs and others have had a bit of a dig. 

Many are aware of the savings available by using solar and self refillable gas. In some circumstances it is not solely about saving money but about the sites and locations that they desire to use. No doubt there are a few who make the choice to save money. Others who caravan in the UK choose to simply use main line sites where EHU is included. I have no desire to use CLs or to rally and simply choose a site for location. It does not bother me to be on a site with 80 plus folk nor to be on a site on my own therefore I would only choose to go non EHU for financial savings which I truly believe to be available.

Having mounted an equally tall steed BB I shall be careful on the dismount.
