    Because as I said earlier they looked a Rolls Royce solutions. If they can proved serviced pitches they can fit meters to existing pitches much easier than providing piped water and grey waste disposal.

    I bet if they phased them in over time to replace old or broken units ect .. They would be the last pitches to be chosen especially by the get in early leave late crowd.

    It's more complicated than a straight £3 differential charge for  electricity.

    At Exeter racecourse it's £18.80 in summer for two people on a pitch with electricity but only £10.10 for a non electric pitch. A whopping £8.70 difference. 

    Some say pitches with meters would be the last ones chosen, but I'd jump in fast if I could just buy a quid's worth of juice at Exeter via a meter,  rather than the two extremes on offer there now.

    Because of the extra profits they can rake in avoiding meters ?

    Me too and I suspect so would many others.

    yes, I would agree with you 100%, I have posted that it is to their advantage not to have meters

    On the other hand it maybe costing them customers. Lokk at the numbers posting on here that now only use CLs or other simple sites.

    Its no more impractical than providing service pitches.

    peedee

    However, these pitches can be sold at a premium and are almost always sold out before standard pitches.

    Surely if my home electric bill is around £25 PER MONTH to run all the cooking and heating surely all sites are making a profit out of the EHU charge . This I would include the Caravan Club.in. I have used metered EHU for 5 days and it worked out at just
    over £2.50 per day which I can live with. Gas could well work out cheaper dispite Calors prices.

    Write your comments here...Our bill is around £55 a month for Electric and Gas more variable according to the time o f year as we heat by gas so I guess £3 a day on an average for a EHU on site is about right.

    £2 in the warmer months, £10 in the colder months, could even link it to  the govt cold  weather payments, I prefer a Hotel in the winter, feet up in front of the fire, watching the rain slashing down ouside, people in annoraks sqelching past to their vans,
    wet dogs ugh.bottoms upCool
