Whats it cost to get EHU free?

We have a 15 year old motorhome and it doesn't have a 12v socket. Got a 'funny' 12v next to socket in TV cupboard seems to have 2 small slots, never seen anything that would be likely to go in it.

Bakers, could you not have a couple of 12v cigarette lighter sockets put in? An auto electrician would be able to do it in a trice but having said that, so could anyone with a bit of cable and 12v battery and a bit of knowledge. The vehicle obviously has 12v on it. Could you change the 'funny' socket to a cigarette type? You'll save amps using 12v instead of the inverter. 

Not many are Brue! We have a cafetière, real ground coffee (I can't stand Nescafé- whatever that is?)  and water boiled by gas- keep it simple! If I can find a way of doing something that assists me to be off EHU and it does the job, That's what I'll do every time. 

Wake up to the smell of coffee - does anyone remember the Pyrosil cookware -- I still have the coffee pot in the cupboard that certainly fills the room/caravan with the smell!  Yummy!  Of course its not the only stove top pot out there!  But if those people are so used to George Cluney's machine I guess it is a very easy way to make a cuppa! 

That's it for me David-" but now choose not to" and with the modern techs now available I don't have to and I can still be on a site at £5 a night! That's what the modern techs have done- given us far more choice than we had. I too used to link to the back of the car with a lead and we managed- but that's the word isn't it- 'managed' Now we live quite as we would on EHU and we can go anywhere- to me, that is worth every penny I've spent- or rather not spent as I have saved far more on fees that I ever spent on conversion. That's what you have to remember- 'this money is going to come back to me in saved fees' You could of course do it bit by bit like Bakers, - I get the feeling she likes what she sees and she'll be going further with her project. 

Peedee- I love your avitar- especially the one of you (if it is you) perhaps you should change your handle to 'peedoff'😂😂😂

Yes, I see the logic there Dave. That's one of the pluses with M/Hs- you can find places that are free and with Caravans that's not possible- if only it were!!

Not that it really matters the coffee tastes yuk, but I think that a quick internet search will reveal that Mr Clooney represents Netspresso.

Taste may be a personal thing, accuracy isn't.

ps

afaik both Netspresso and Dolce Gusto are both Nestle brands and doesn't the fact that you take the pods back to the Botique tell you all you need to know. 

Back on topic.  Whilst we can all debate how much you can save or not by going off grid. I would love to know how much it costs per night for an average CL to have ehu.  I mean the infrastructure as well as the electricity consumed. 

Probably cost us about £500 for a 120 w roof mounted panel and the bits to make it work. For me, it's not about the cost savings, I just like the THS sites of the other club and the interesting (non campsite) feel of them. Of course you must be independent of EHU to use them for more than a short stay.

The fact they cost buttons (£8 - £10 per night) to stay on is just a bonus.
