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.

Can you name them as it would help, as according to some posters EHU is not needed, so it would help point them in the right direction,or is this another of the usual type of post that some on here cannot name because? 
Its a figment of their own imagination

Shall I give you Hartford Bridge at Tavistock too, or Willow Valley at Bude as well.

Posted on 04/03/2019 12:42 by NavigateurTo me it is recovering the infrastructure cost of fitting the refillable system that makes it unworkable. And the dragging the cylinder about to keep topping it up.

for any refillable system it has a residual value down the line...or can be transferred to any subsequent vehicle...
you can write it down over (say) ten years and cost each year against the gas savings and the convenience of having a system that doesn't fall flat when a refill is required abroad...
we don't drag our cyclinders around, it moves when the van moves..the only dragging would be up to some exchange place if I wanted a Calor refill.

Posted on 04/03/2019 15:49 by hitchglitchWith a built-in LPG tank, gas is ridiculously cheap but I still like the convenience of EHU. It keeps the hot water ticking over and the fridge plus occasional use of the microwave, electric kettle and, most important (and difficult without EHU) a desk fan for hot nights in southern Europe. a/c is becoming increasingly standard on motorhomes and that wouldn't be possible with just gas.

Hitch, we have the fridge and hot water running on gas, no need to keep the hot water turned on all day when we're out for most of it...
woth the residual heat in the tank, it's isually pretty warm when we need it, and just five mins on has has it back up to temperature.
we don't have a microwave so don't miss it's use...certainly not out here, phew!...But thinking of warmth and the fan, perhaps a 12v plug in one or rechargeable would do the trick....all from free sun fed leccy....
we also run satellite Tv, have a gas oven, a gas kettle so don't miss an EHU. we also charge ebike batteries via our inverter..
our (her) only issue with being non EHU is the hair dryer....I need a smaller wattage one for our small inverter, or a larger inverter...
on the 'to do' list....
the other thing to add is that, once free of EHU, it's not just the £3 site leccy that's not required, it's the whole 'necessity' of a site itself....bringing into focus other stopover places, if that's your thing.
