    sorry Steve, my sloppy English.....

    i meant the kids were the only 'item' charged for in my list.....dogs, awnings, EHU are included....

    yes, even. I realised we adults have to paywink

    ypu may well like the club all-in-one offering but the question I'm  answering refers to flexibility in charging, and items like EHU, dogs, Hs,awnings would not be on my options list, therefore I would much prefer a flexible approach.

    when I use CCC I take advantage of their different approach, I choose a grass pitch, no EHU, don't deploy an awning and don't bring dogs....

    The words K used are "not really needed" That is certainly true for most if not all motorhomes. It may not be your view TW but it is mine.

    And that’s fine, PD, as we all have our views/opinions.

    However, the word was "required" rather than "needed" which has a different meaning. It is only a matter of opinion, or preference, whether EHU is "not really required" and not, as I said, a fact.smile

    PS. "True of most, if not all MHs" it may be but not of their owners or users I’ll wager.

    Indeed we do TW and we all have the choice of going elsewhere

    I have been on some dire sites both here and abroad and none of them were club sites.  The one thing for sure about club sites is there is a standard and we all, well almost all, know what that standard is.  

    K - a lot of caravans have solar panels as standard, and we don't need to drive around to charge them up surprisedwinkwink

    I agree completely, PD, but just be careful with that advice which in the recent past has been described as "bullying" and "antagonistic" though it's beyond me why anyone should think so! undecided

    Sorry TW didn't mean to change what K had written. Either it was too early in the morning and I was not fully focused or I was too pre-occupied with my own thoughts. Either way in my mind they have the same meaning. Hence the fingers followed my train of thought.

    I would have thought instead of the current tariffs, increasing the number of items charged for rather than paying a package fee might benefit those who are complaining of high prices. If there was more opportunity to pick and chose, thereby presenting an opportunity to reduce the nightly fee, it might increase membership and pitch occupancy.

    i expect EHU (charged for at rates I've seen between £4 and £8+) is one of the big ticket items and being able to not take this option would make a nge difference, especially in summer where EHU might not be wanted by some....

    at a nominal fiver a night that £70 difference in a fortnights holiday.

    The CL we were on last week offered a non EHU option for a discount of £3. I'don't have thought that was about fair in summer and, yes, I've come round to thinking that offering a non EHU option is perfectly acceptable and certainly easier and more economical than introducing network wide metering.  smile

    Do you think there are a considerable number of folk who use energy on sites excessively, DD? We don't,  presumably you don't, and I'm pretty sure myself that the vast majority don't.

    There are certainly others that do and are proud to admit to it. None of us can be certain whether they are in the minority or not, surely.

    I would be interested to know what you consider "excessive energy use" ?

    I consider it excessive when outside temperatures are below 5c and a caravan has windows open all evening whilst those inside are in tee shirts. I suppose they could be Eskimos though?

    Post edit: I meant the heating not them producing the gas
