Power Struggle

Hi Johnnyg, What was the reason he gave  for you having to use another socket

Hi Juddybrads

He said I was denying the use on another pitch. Site is now full socket still unused as at 2045hrs 21.7.

Have been out all day. Fellow caravanner states warden was inspecting the lead while I was out.

No doubt he has read this.

Anyway couldn't get a new longer lead so bought a bottle of wine instead, 'ahh that's better now'.

I thought 25mtr cables were the longest allowed for leisure use 

I am amazed that the warden is encouraging this as he is ignoring Elf & Safe Tea. Trailing cable in this fashion is NOT acceptable & constitutes a trip hazard , you should stand your ground on the basis of this danger & reconnect to the closer EHU

I had the same trouble on the Black Knowle site in the new forest last week, Pitch 115 in the centre grass area, I had  to borrow a 10m lead off a friend to connect to my 25m lead to reach the EHU,spoke to warden and he said YEP thats right, not to happy but at least i got electric. 

Same problem at Black Knowle Site, everyone seems to plug into the nearest EHU, however, that may not be the EHU allocated to your pitch. Better identification of EHU to Pitch number would help, also access on & off of pitches not clearly marked out lots of up sets with new arrivals driving over EHU Leads and plots.

I would have to ld him to go forth and i certainly would not have purchased another hook up lead to accomodate this!Failing this,i would have demanded a refund of the further 2 nights stay and pack up and left,with a letter to the club on returning home. Some wardens are little jobsworths who are out to ruin your stay on the site!!

As i understand it the maximum distance from ehu to the pitch is 20mtrs on any club site

I found wardens at daleachre very friendly and helpful, maybe had an off day!!!
