A small change that would cost nothing to implement but would enhance the on site experience.
Presumably foreign caravans would also be required to have a mover in order to pitch nose in. Not many pitches are drive through. Therefore hardly no cost for some.🤔

The last pitch of our Spring tour was Broadway. On the row that we were on I think that our's was the only van pitched nose in. We pitched that way as there was then a good depth of grass (prob. 4m) in front and a low hedge and it meant that we faced more north which we prefer to having mid day sun on front windows rather than on the window-less rear of the caravan.

We are currently nose out. Therefore as our van is a continental design, it is facing the GB style one on the next pitch. They don't seem to mind. We have been chatting.😀 In this instance our preference was for getting it level without ramps, which meant nose out.

I have a foreign ‘van and my door’s on the right side, all the time 😉

If only IanH were here, he always had a sensible viewpoint on ‘door to door’ pitching😗😗

I wouldn't usually pitch "door to door" and don't really appreciate it when others do it.
It does not trouble me David. If we have been out on a hot Summer's Day, any warm sunny day, and return to the caravan around 3pm to 4pm I would usually sit on whichever side of the caravan that gave me shade. As we like to face North that would tend to be on the offside

I do have some sympathy for the OP’s point of view. As the owner of a Caravan with the door on the wrong side, he can rest assured that I would always be willing to assist him in turning his unit around. If facing my door offends him so much.

However as the OP pointed sideways pitching on the continent is usually more common and gives a little privacy especially on hedged pitches.
Presumably though, unless you have the door facing the hedge at the back, folk are still wandering past on the road. Therefore not that private.

I personally would not advocate changing the rules on pitching on club sites. How other pitch providers (abroad or elsewhere in UK) allow/inform LV's using their sites to pitch is that pitch providers choice.

I have an a-class motorhome with a large windscreen. People walk past the van and peer in because everything is on show. I'd be quite happy to park the other way around to stop the gawkers.
On a serious note, I understand the point Winston makes. I'm happy to park whatever way the CMC/warden allows although everyone facing forward does allow a quicker response in the event of an emergency that requires (motor) caravans to be moves and reversing in rather than out is probably better for road safety.

I do not think there are any more "rules" with this club than any other leisure organisations, its just how much of a "blind eye" is operated by some who will just "hope" that when it comes to litigation they will use the blame game with their staff
