Power Struggle
This story happened on: 21/07/2012
I am currently enjoying day 8 of a 10 day stay at Daleacres farm in Hythe Kent. Pitch 36 to be exact.
The pitch is well placed and in a quiet spot. The power hookup post is only 5 yards away. Well settled in and enjoying the area.
Yesterday (1600hrs) warden spoilt this by telling me to unhook from the post and connect another post 2 pitches away.
No problem. Unhooked and found that my power lead would not reach the other post. I have a 25m lead and with a bit of a struggle I have routed the lead under the awning, under someone elses caravan an now hangs like a skipping rope. Not a happy bunny as the socket on the other post is still empty.
Other caravanner told me previous occupant of pitch had same problem and had to purchase new longewr lead from site. Nice little earner for the club.
Determined not to purchase anything from the wardens, I have now got to find somewhere else to buy one to see out my last 2 days stay.
Perhaps the wardens would have been able to warn members on arrival that this pitch requires a longer lead, after all they know the site and know that most vanners have a standard length lead.
So in order to be helpful to future occupants of this pitch, please bring a longer lead or your stay will also be spoilt.
