    I do too, I presume if it is a genuine question the replies will prompt a further response? One thing before buying a van is "do some research" I think? smile

    I have always thought it would be a nice thing to do in support of CLs rather than wild camping. Last weekend I had to travel home with nearly 200 litres of grey waste because of the lack of an accessible greywaste point. I also guess if you were staying more than a few days on a CL and hadn't got a decent shower you might also want to avail yourself of a site "quick stop".

    Sorry, PD, but I just don't buy that! We have BB and others telling us regularly that this won't encourage "wild" camping but you seem to be implying that it will encourage CL useage. But don't all CLS have CDPs, grey water dumps and fresh water supplies? Which just leaves the showers. Do you really think that those who don't currently use basic CL will rush to do so on the basis that they can pay £7 every few days for a nice shower? undecided

    Most CL's we have been on do not have a suitable grey water dump for a MH unless you want to decant it and throw into a bush or down a drain, for a MH you need a drive over affair to make life easier...

    Blimey, BB, 15 paragraphs and two separate posts to reply to what I thought was a fairly simple point. You don't do brevity do you! wink

    I wasn't disputing your claim that this wouldn't encourage "wild" camping by the way, just pointing out the slight inconsistency between what you and PD were saying.

    Still, I notice that, where earlier you thought £7 was too expensive to dump toilet waste, now a fiver seems quite acceptable.

    Maybe we should just agree to disagree instead of haggling over a couple of quid?

    why assume those who wild camp are bad people and that what they do is bad....

    I made no such assumptions so why assume that I had? I was addressing the political aspect as I thought was clear

    Oh dear, back to your  patronising worst! I expect any time now you'll be telling me I've got all upset, rather than having a different opinion to you (which I believe is allowed).

    As you say, how sad -  it seems though that at some stage you seem to run out of steam for a genuine debate and have to switch to insulting anyone who disagrees with you. frown

    All the OP wants is a shower. No mention of dumping water or any other liquid.

    You will never stop the child like time wasters here. Likewise the bar room lawyers have their stay. There is no law against parking in Lay byes( Unless by order of a by law and notice posted). Likewise most landowners will allow overnight stay on their land just for asking. I fish a lot in wild places and have never been refused permission to stay overnight on land adjacent.

    That is what gives motorhome owners a bad name DD. I have easy access to a disposal point on my driveway which insures grey water is taken off to the treatment works unlike many roadside drains with flow directly into rivers and streams.

    Not around here DD. As we live on a very permeable layer of sandstone, several hundred metres thick, lots of surface water drains, are in fact soak aways. This won't apply everywhere, but will in a lot of areas. Someone dumping their grey waste into a surface drain will have no idea if it is connected to the sewer or not.

    But if it is that easy to empty a motor caravan waste, why has there been such an issue about the problems of doing such on cc sites, that has had them spend an on going countless thousands of pounds modifying m/van waste pointsundecidedsurprised

    Is anyone else getting just a tiny bit suspicious that this is yet another, apparently innocent, first time post on a subject known to have caused discord in the past? undecided

    Debnian, I apologise for my cynicism, but please come back now you've had all these replies to let us know what you're thinking.
