Hi All,

How many of us are asked "Do you have an awning" and then go on to pay for it for the number of nights we are booked in.

How many of us leave the awning up until the morning of departure, not many.

The next time you book in and you have to pay for the awning, knock a night off for the awning and see the look on the face of the receptionist.

Why should you pay for the awning if it's not up.?

In addition, if you have the 'feet' to attach the awning to the van rather than the ground, I wouldn't pay for the awning in the first place. It's not on their land.

Just saying.

As members of the C&CC I think that their charging policy is the best we are likely to get. There is probably no perfect system that will suit everyone, although I personally still prefer the old way where you just paid for the pitch and electricity was metered.

Those who use a lot of mains electricity would probably not agree with that, but for those of us who use it just to charge our batteries, run the fridge and power a couple of lights occasionally, I feel we are paying through the nose. I also think that charging per person hits families particularly hard, although this doesn't affect us personally now, as we are just a couple of pensioners and a small dog.

I have moved from a trailer tent to a motorhome so we can wildcamp rather than pay the charges on some camp sites..

I can remember a time when sites just charged for a pitch, and what you put on it was up to you, within reason. The number of people or pets was irrelevant too.
