    I chose the CS for its location, it happened to have EHU, so what

    so you are saying you had to use EHU? Wouldn't gas be more efficient and quicker according to you?

    Also there was your:  no Bear Ghrylls here.. comment

    as if that meant no roughing it?

    "M, are all CS/CL supposed to be non-EHU then? sorry, didn't realise that.

    i chose the CS for its location, it happened to have EHU, so what."

     

    Nice try BB, but as I suspect you realise, it wasn't the sites I was wondering about. It's just interesting that you're often imploring others to forego the orange umbilical, and yet, even with all that sunshine you were enjoying, you still chose to use it yourself. Did the THS you were on not give you the option? Maybe the SP/inverter world isn't all it's cracked up to be? Your choice of course, no problem with that.

    As for me, I make no bones about it, I'll use EHU every time. smile

    Fair enough, BB, and yes, I agree with your final sentence.

    But maybe lay off all the, possibly unintentional, criticism of those who do prefer to use EHU for their stays? smile

    either way, is t a solar panel, a decent battery or two and possibly an inverter much nicer (to be next to) than a generator?

    Well done, I'm glad you have finally come round to agreeing with this point that DevonBoy made on page 3 when you started postingsmile

    superfluous to add a + 1, but I'll do it anyway.

    Many years ago I seriously considered buying a genny. I did the sums, looked at the pros and cons and talked with fellow vanners. My conclusion was I didn't buy one and the main three reasons were the disturbance to site & fellow occupants, having to store petrol somewhere in the van and the extra weight required to transport the extra equipment and fuel. 

    In the end I went for solar, an extra battery and an inverter. Must say the weight issue remained though to some extent but I very rarely pack my inverter these days as I really only used it for my espresso first thing in the morning and since buying a Nanopresso (excellent bit of kit) that need has disappeared. All other 230volt equipment I manage without with gas grill, hob and oven doing the jobs.

    that's interesting BB, thought you found these + and - not useful in any way, now you're joining in? Good for you

    Well, that’s two of us you’ve tried to wind up, BB. Give it a rest, eh. It gets boring after a while.
