Reasons for preferring to use site facilities
Comments
-
As we have a seasonal pitch on a basic facility site, the question of using site facilities doesn't apply to us. However, we now have the added convenience of a
caravan washing machine which we purchased from the warden a couple of days ago. My wife finds it's much better now that she no longer has to do the laundry by hand.do you mean a washing machine for use in a caravan, or a machine for washing the caravan
Now wouldn't one of those be a good idea? Perhaps something like those robot lawnmowers, but attached to a hose, and which you could 'stick' on the side of the van, where it would slowly go all over, lathering, rinsing, and then waxing!
Sounds like a spa day

Yeah, but how many have a hairy caravan?

We make very little use of the toilet blocks and are quite happy with sites with no facilities. We see no point in trecking across a site to get washed in a morning and the shower in the caravan is far nicer than any on site and there is a nice warm carpet
when you get out. Yes I do have to get the water but it is no big deal.The one point I accept on showers though is where there is a family all wanting one the shower block is the better option and using the toilet there will save on the less pleasant job of emptying the one in the caravan.

If you go to the Northern meet and we meet up (from the other forum) I will cook you a steak and you can try my homemade lamb kebabs.
Then tell me what you think about barbie food.
Bring a bottle
Can I come? I can bring sloe gin
The lamb kebabs sound delightful0 -

Just come back from Ramslade, a beautiful site, with amazing washing/showering facilities.
What I found unbelieveable, was the amount of new vans, new cars.........and the appalling state these people left the toilets, sinks and showers in, no wonder they use the on site facilities, because I dread to imagine the state of their new caravans if
thats how they leave their own heads.( I only used them because there was 3 females in our van trying to get ready!!)

What puzzles me is the people who tend to use the site facilities for washing up and showering, use the toilet in their vans for No. 2's.

) yet we dont use site facs for washing
up....where do we fit on the spreadsheet?

Yes we are all different and it is down to choice, so really no rights or wrongs - except using the shower block and not leaving it clean. US - we have been caravanning to 30 years and always use the site showers, two reasons for this, firstly, I don't want
to have the van wet and steamed up or to keep having to fetch water, we paid for facilities so we use them. Secondly, living in Devon we have the highest water rates in the country, so when on holiday I don't want to be as frugal with water as we have to be
at home, I really look forward to a nice long shower. Washing up, if we have had a meal that involves lots of pots and grease then, if we are fairly close, we use the washing up facilities, don't want the grease etc. down our little caravan drain. Otherwise
we wash up in the van. What I can never understand though is the people who bang on about never using the facilities and then site their vans right by then shower block, we have met one or two of these on site.0 -

In the (admittedly unlikely) event anyone want's to pich near me, it's the 'van as far away from the toilets block as possible.

Not really, but I have seen people taking their washing up to the facilities and carrying bags to the showers, then having the unfortunate experience to be near the chemical disposal point when they empty their toilets, not a pleasant smell!

In other words - stalking.
