So what did the Club ever do for Motorcaravanners?

I thought it was a storage site when I first saw the pic.
£3.50 p/n? Strewth, they’d need to pay me a lot more than that before I’d spend the night there!😫

Surely the name change was just an exercise to appear to embrace the increasing number of MH owners and encourage others to join? It’s meant to make us feel included, I feel, (whatever that means). That’s the way I saw it and I certainly didn’t expect anything to change beyond hoping for better MHSPs.

Just been looking at the Campingcarpark web site for the Aire in Le Puy. 12€ a night from 1st May to September. Site looks very nice and the price is realistic. It mentions 6 amp electric, not sure if that is charged separately. I think if rolled out here the prices would have to be higher, given our land prices. Plus of course they would price them in relation to the more expensive full sites in the U.K.

I was quoting what the OP understood to be the case at the time of the name change. Beyond that he was asking if more motorhome dedicated provisions were planned beyond the upgrade to water and waste. I don't recall any being promised, do you?

I personally do not think it would be commercially viable for the club to provide the facilities the OP is suggesting bearing in mind the cost of land. IMHO, money if/when available would be better spent on acquiring more sites (basic or full facility) so that all members can use them whatever their outfit.

"It will come I am sure, the market is there and the Club should be concerned that someone like Campingcarpark doesn't get a foot in the door first."
I suspect that's just wishful thinking PD. As one of the forum's most experienced "over there" contributors has stated, the availability of cheap basic aire provision has led directly to the closure of many traditional sites. Why would the club want to get involved if that's the case?

And even then the cc got the name wrong ,as any one with a motor caravan will know,by their V5,,but then when checking what other organisations have done in the UK it seems the cc is in the lead for catering for the M/C fraternity ,as many of the clubs larger caravan members are noting

You pulled me up by accusing me (wrongly IMO) of quoting out of context.
When I was receiving an education (and experience since) is to think that when somebody states 'Carry on as Normal' after quoting me they are either demanding that I do so or consenting to my doing so.
No idea why I should have understood it to mean 'we will'. Nay worries though

It wasn't 'understood' by me either. It’s reminiscent of the chase and pointless in another thread which was clear to me but not, you said, to you.
We can all be guilty of assuming the other person is party to our thoughts.

Actually, DD, the OP did mention one, namely the installation of some drive over service points. A short list of 1 but they have installed loads of hardstandings, which in my view is a nod both to Motorhomes and Heavier Caravans, so maybe 1½.
What else would you like? Specific to M/Homes of course but without being subsidised by caravanners.

I think it's just the drive over MH service points DD. From being installed over a number of years, they seem to be popping up all over.
One big thing they could do, which would not discriminate between caravan and MH owners, is introduce pitch type booking. Once we get our MH we intend to join the C&CC. These would then become our sites of choice in place if CAMC sites with a lot of grass. Particularly early and late in the season when grass pitches can be rather soft. Perhaps the other things they are looking at includes introducing it nationally. I can but hope.😀

If, repeat IF, CMC ever allows overnighting on special 'set aside' areas for a lesser fee , as with Continental Aires, they would HAVE to allow BOTH motorhomes AND Caravan outfits (perhaps with the proviso that car and caravan stay connected) for their stay. This would allow touring outfits both Motorcaravans and Car Caravan to travel further SAFELY taking the neccessary breaks on the way. The Club would be helping ALL of its members in this way.
a lot of this infrastructure already exists in the form of Late Night Arrivals areas..which seldom seems to get used. 2 nights max stay of course.
