Saving gas

 

 

Can agree with you there ,spend thousands and then do everything posible to spend nothing on sites for example.

 

It’s part of the mindset. Save pennies to accumulate pounds. The wealthy don’t mess with camping, they hire a nice cabin on a cruise ship, get pampered and tip well.

We do that to  usually in the winter.

like TG, Ill be off to the sun to be pampered (spa, AI, golf) next saturday, and then again in may (AI fly/cruise)....

in between these Ill be off to Italy in the van where Ill probably spend a good deal of nights slumming it on aires during the journey....where those saved pennies (along with those from non-ehu sites and our chemical-free SOG toilet) will contribute towards my next tropical break...

tips.....ah, yes Ive got one.....look after the pennies and then have a great time spending them......

Look after the Pennies. The Pounds wil spend themselves.

We saved our pennies when working so when I retired we do not have to count them any more, and normally do what and when we want

Write your comments here...B.B, love all the places you go to and are going to, especialy Italy,we go to the same places ourselves.But we are not in our caravan as long as you are in your motorhome. We average about 105 days a year,but where we differ is that we are frugal up to a point,but would never go to the extremes that some people appear to do to save a bob or two ,that would spoil it for us to the point of not wanting to go anywhere, if that was the way we had to do things. It does not mean we are right and others are wrong ,it is just our idea of good times for us.  

I look on it as a bit of a challenge to save and use the most convenient way too - a balancing act?  Any savings feel good and make me feel I can spend more on something important - like a good steak - or slightly more pricey bottle of wine!  Whatever floats your boat? 

We're out about 260 nights every year and always on EHU pitches. We use electrics for most of our cooking, having a single electric plate & the microwave, and all of our heating - Alde - is done with electrics. We do use the oven on gas and occasionally use a gas ring. A 3.9 kg Propane bottle usually last us over a year.

Write your comments here... That is a serious amount of caravanning NTH! Have you ever worked out your annual site fees? Are you tempted to follow Merve's example of solar panels, Safefill and non EHUs and worked out the potential saving? It is good to hear someone enjoying their caravan - it would take me 4 yrs to achieve your total !

Hi TG

We are just back from Cuba and have already booked to go next December. 

Guess you had a good time then, we've never been to Cuba

Only 7 weeks until we go to Lanzarote for 3 weeks it will be so nice to see blue skies.
