Favourite CL
We have been coming here - for a week each time - for the last 9 years so I think I don't need say any more about how much we like the site, it's thoroughly professional organisation, easy access, excellent security and warm welcome. It really is the standard that all other CLs should strive to achieve.
It is the first time, however, that we have experienced metered electricity and I was a bit apprehensive about what the costs would be - so here is our experience:
We have a large twin axle Knaus caravan which can be quite 'electricity hungry'! Truma space / water heating plus underfloor heating, electric towel rail, plug in ceramic heater in bathroom (for 10 minutes whilst having a shower), microwave, electric kettle, etc etc. I monitored the electricity consumption during the first 24 hours, using our van as we would normally and during that period we used £10.20 worth of power! It certainly brings it home why CL owners have to do something about prices / consumption if they are to stay in business!!
Thereafter, I ran the heating / hot water on gas (we have two Safefills), but used everything else as mentioned above and the average daily electricity cost dropped to just over £5 which is more than acceptable and a 7.5kg Safefill lasted all week with plenty to spare. Of course you have the option to go completely off-grid if you so choose.
Hopefully, we will be back again, next year and look forward to catching up with Nicola and Richard again.
