We used £24 over 8 nights the heating was on gas only but it all ads up kettle lights TV etc
Last time we went on a site with metered electricity was in 2019. We only had a fridge, battery charger, and small kettle running off it, but 14 nights cost us a total of £2.80, so 20p a night. Is it any wonder we consider a fixed charge of £3+ a night to be a rip-off.
For you, Colin, that is true, but we use electric almost exclusively in our van, so if the weather is chilly we can easily use £3 - £4 a day. But that is offset by using no gas.
We would use a bit more if it was chilly, as we would be putting our convector heater on, but then when it's really cold we don't go away in the van anyway. We would use a bit more now than we did in 2019 because our gas water heater packed up and I replaced it with an electric one, on the principle that if we are going to get charged for it anyway we might as well use it rather than using up our gas. We have also considered taking our little electric oven with us next time for the same reason. We always go on sites that have EHU anyway as our fridge only works on mains electric. At this time of year we don't use £3 worth of gas and electricity combined at home on average, although we might on a day when we were using the tumble-dryer.

Best Regards,
Colin

) overnight temperatures got down to 6 or 7C for a few nights and circa 10 or 11C for most of the others! - the heating was on rather a lot!
