Just come off a Rally on an all singing and dancing commercial site. They did a deal where the ehu was optional @£3 p/n. 28 vans 25 paid for ehu. We didn’t refilled the gas bottle after we got back and it cost me £4.51, the bottle had been used for 4 nights on a clubsite so ehu and 3 nights non-ehu so 7 nights in total.
No moral to this story just numbers.

I seem to remember when EHU was first brought in, many older vans didn't have it so you chose with or without electricity when booking in. The club's electricity bill would be reduced if they allowed members to survive without EHU, but of course the income would be proportionately less. I know we can survive without EHU for 3 nights ( in summer ) because we have done it even though at the moment we don't have solar. I would consider solar if opting out of EHU became a common possibility.

There is a difference between a pitch that has no hook up. And one where hookup is available but not used as was the case for us this weekend. Any reduction in price in that case can only be for the electricity not used. The infrastructure is still their and has to be paid for and maintained. If there is no infrastructure in the first place than obviously the pitch fee could be much reduced.
Obviously the positioning of non ehu pitches on a clubsite is a different question. But as a caravaneer I know in then I know in the camc pecking order I come below Motorhomes, which come below glamping pods, which come below Airstreams. I know my place!
