Best MHSP Ever - Should CAMC Follow Suit?
Recently on a site in SW France and arrived and had to dump waste and fill up (even though each pitch had a tap) so went to the MHSP which was situated next to the Camping Car pitches and was amazed at how good it was. Well laid out, the grid went down the centre of the area front to back with the concrete sloping into it so no need to align the dump valve with the grid, toilet waste and fresh water, even had a doggy wash along side if needed. Best of all (sad I know) it doubled as a wash bay so after a couple of dusty weeks by the Med it was nice to get the crud off and give the van a quick wash.
Pictures below but just think the CAMC should aspire to this level of facility if it is to be all inclusive of caravanners and motorhomers. And TBH the services on Aires are superior to most of the current offerings by the club.

The Club is embarking (slowly) on an upgrade program of motorhome service points. I have not see one yet but someone, maybe DK posted a picture of one at Seacroft.
Here is another pitcture of a well maintained good one.

I think the new standard of Club motorhome facilities are as equally as good as the one illustrated. But as Peedee suggests progress is pretty slow at getting them all up to standard.

I don't think this particular one is too hard to line up with. Southport has a choice of 3 places in the MSP everyone of them has a manhole cover. There isn't a CDP and as I understand it's not all that old 😢. Manhole covers are heavy and very awkward can't removed til you're certain you won't drop a wheel down. Can't get over because of lifting said cover and all of them on a level surface so no gravity assistance. Then you need to rinse the area and chase the odd pea or sweetcorn until you can get it to and down the drain 😂. Only room for one vehicle, just by the exit so a queue forms - on the road blocking the exit LOL. Good planning - I think not!

You said it, BB !!
even a crap 'liner-upper' like me can get the waste pipe within the 20'x10' landing area.

I have posted another view of it below. Quite frankly if you can't line a motorhome waste over that grill I am not sure they should be driving a motorhome?

One I prepared earlier for you!!! This is the Canterbury Site which is similar to other C&CC sites I have visited.

As I might have mentioned before if motor caravan manufacturers used their products and realised just how stupididly most outlets were designed then it would not be the "problem" some find,
Fuel tanker and "Honey Wagon" also RV manufacturers seem to have it sorted

in June on treamble valley club site a motorhome person opposite us found a new place to empty his grey waste on the pitch and up the road as he pulled away. the smell was so bad the wife and I had to wash it all down with disinfectant and water .so it looks like the club would waste its money on updates for motorhomes. yes we did complain

Why would getting a 2" or thereby pipe over a 12" square grid/hole be more difficult than getting a caravan within 2" if a wooden peg?

As I mentioned on another post ,the wardeness on the site we were on last night was having a "conversation"about just that with a motor caravan "owner/driver"who had the dump valve open while standing "fumbling"for his barrier card to exit the site,and she said it is getting more prvelant with the increase in motor caravans and those who cannot "spare the time"to empty on the proper point
