Not devisive at all BB. The CC provides the same level of service to all. It does not supply a drop in and fill service for those not stopping on site. A stance that I agree with. How can that be construed as divisive?
In resonse to othersI would say the same. We are all treated the same. Some motorhomers want hard standing.......guess what? So do I! Not available to the membership. Where is any of this unfair?

Rocky, you have discovered the deep seated anti MH feeling that runs in some quarters.
I wasn't even aware of its existence as the majority of members are fair minded but, once the club changed its name to include MHs, there were numerous threads where it became evident that motorhomers are regarded as the spawn of the devil by some. Thank goodness it's not by all.

BB - is the OP a regular wild camper? I wasn't aware of that.
I'm sure you're not deliberately misinterpreting my posts but you do seem to be trying hard for the "reading between the lines king" title!
OK, let me make my position clear then I'll leave the thread.
At no point have I said the OP should not be allowed to do what's asked for, either in the future or now. What I have done is to point out that there are contributors who stay on club sites far more regularly than you or me, who have outlined possible pitfalls given the layout of club sites at present. It's simply not as clear cut a situation as you seem to suggest. The argument that there won't be hoardes of MHs wanting to do this is neither here nor there since, certainly at the two club sites we've used this year, even two arriving and wanting to fill up at the same time could pesent considerable traffic flow problems.
I have suggested that the OP might spend their first night at a CL where they could fill their tank and then wildcamp for the next night or even longer if they wanted to. I'd have thought that would be more helpful to the OP than any "things must change and NOW" demand!
Anything unreasonable in any of that?

Irrelevant in this instance, JVB.

Why should they be happy with being treated like a caravan owner,? Their needs and modus operandi are different is so many ways. If the Club cannot see that and some members keep negatively commenting against actual and suggested changes then there is no hope the change in name is going to have any impact on retention or increased membership in the growing market of motorhome ownership.

What makes you think I have a problem arty? Iam not in the least bitter. Some of the MH owners seem to think that they are treated as second class citizens. No idea why. Peedee seems to think the needs totally different. Maybe it is me who does not grasp!
The sites provide a pitch with room to sit or put up an awning or canopy. Many motorhomers make similar use to caravanners. The normal pitch provides somewhere for a toad or tow car. Apart from poor provision for waste emptying how are MHs being disadvantaged. I cannot see it. Can you or PD enlighten?.

Your using words I did not use ET. i.e. totally different and disadvantaged. Of course I can manage just like a caravan owner but that is not why I purchased a motorhome, just to manage! If the choice is there, I want to reap the benefits of being able to tour with the minimum of effort and of course at a price which does not penalise me for facilities I can do without if I choose. I suspect that is not very different to most motorhome owners.

I was not quoting you PD but thought that you may be able to explain.
I suspect that is very much the same for caravanners PD as to what you wish. Many caravanners and motorhomers use there own facilities put pay for sites that provide facilities. I cannot see that changing. Similarly I cannot see not having to pay for EHU on a standard pitch happening for members.
What is the difference in MH and CV user needs PD?

What new company? The Caravan Club is still the registered name of this company. The company is now using the brand name "The Caravan and Motorhome Club". I do think your assertion is correct though, that there is an increased perception of difficulty between some members. I think the stupidity of the clubs management is the sole cause. The whole attempt to rebrand has been a PR cock up.
