Fully Serviced pitches

On a site in Cornwall in August. About one tap to 4 caravans. Some enterprising camper had fitted on of these to the tap and had a continuous supply!

The motor caravans are the average size about 22ft that need two parking bays when off site and this site is all grass(if it was not parched brown) and not a single serviced pitch
And being near the exit can note those going out, as they all have to pass our pitch although about 3mtrs in front, and we pass nearly all the pitches when returning with our support vehicle after being out shopping visiting etc, no waiting in the rain for the bus any more

There are about 50 motor caravans on here ranging from small campers to a large YankTank ,and am just waiting for the first site reveiw that says that there are not enough motor caravan service points (as some post about showers)when they ( like we have noted on popular motor caravan sites) are having to queue to empty and fill up when leaving sites

Not all MH's are created equal. Some of them, older models perhaps, have surprisingly small tanks barely bigger than a wastemaster. Mine is somewhere in the middle with a 75L fresh ( although claimed 90L) and a 70L waste. Most continental makes are 100L minimum.

I know that our vehicle can it seems, be far more suportive when needed , and leaving our cottage in situ, knowing that as today, will not be a problem getting into a car park with 6ft 3ins max height barrier which are becoming more prevalent to dissuade other types of vehicles,
A few motor caravans may only top up once , but the amount of owners here

Just another nail in your post ref "half fill at home?"where we store our caravan there are about 100 maybe more motorcaravans also in store with no facility to "half fill their tanks" and that is just one storage site I am sure there are a lot more around the UK the same

Same here, Mikey. We do find them on some CLs for no extra charge, but don't select those sites for the SP.

But surely most M/Hs that are in storage are taken out to one's house to load up before heading off, so why couldn't that part fill at home before setting off. Should we ever have a M/H in storage that's what we would do,.

Not in our storage the arrival vehicle seems is left in the motor caravan space after the transfer of equipment etc brought from home,we did the same when we had motor caravans, only went to our house on returning to off load, then "low lifes"did not realise that we were away ,only that we were back

So perhaps now is the time for our club (I am joking!) to ask all members what they want?
Grass -no electric, Grass +EHU, HS +EHU, Service pitch EHU + grey waste + water supply.
As I see it there is no need to ask whether or not you are putting up an awning the club should allow for an awning on each pitch anyway. Personally I rarely put one up.
What do you think?

Mine hasn't which is why I travel with it full. Not that mine has sufficient downforce to corner flat out though.

That is not the "privalege "that thousands of LV owners have hence the waiting lists that most storage sites have.
You really have no idea of how LVs are kitted out for trips when in storage, so do not try to know
We have a very good wash down facility at the storage and also can have it valeted there if needed ,but it is busy and needs booking,so not normally an easy access for filling tanks of motor caravans ,but if they want storage users can fill up and flush out on the M/c service point on the site but few do they would it seems not want to carry the extra weight to their destination ,but fill on arrival and top up by other means when on site and use a waste container under the oulet
Our car is not on "the drive"at home we keep it in our garage overnight

So much angst about such a minor "problem"!
Surely the time has come (as far as this thread is concerned) to just acknowledge that some folk choose to use SP, others (us included) choose not to. Since for the very foreseeable future the club is likely to provide, maybe, three quarters of its pitches as non serviced there is no problem in providing for both sets. As said earlier where the club might well benefit is by installing SP at sites which don't already have them, rather than increasing the numbers at sites which dol

They can as I have said, but do not as they want to be on their way it seems , with minimum fuss and weight, , it is much quicker when picking up a caravan,as the support/tow vehicle has anything on board that is not already in the caravan,
Ps it is a lot more than a chain link fence

I have no problems with a service pitch, so long has they are put next to the dog walk children's play area and the bogs.
