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.

Corners, the last time I looked club sites didn't have 1 bollard per pitch. On average about 3 pitches per bollard so I think your guesstimate should be reduced by 66%.

Posted on 06/03/2019 14:59 by Justus2Oh dear you have had a bad experience which has understandably left you rather nervous. I, or should it be we,have used gas all our married lives in houses, tents, caravans, and now our motor-home. Gas appliances have flame failure devices for safety, and gas has an added artificial smell to alert you to leaks, we also have a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector. We have never ever had a problem, and I see gas as a safe fuel choice if appliances are checked regularly. I did see the suggestion that new houses could be built gas free.. I wouldn't want to live in an all electric house, I think to some extent they are clutching at straws with the environment thing, but we digress from the thread.

While electricity can give one a bit of a jolt - and I've had quite a few - it is never, in our domestic situation whether home or travelling, any more than 240 volts. It does not leak out over time and build up the amount of energy that can be suddenly expended in the way that gas does.
