I've just recently returned from a camping trip in Germany.

On arrival and erecting our tent, the Site owner connected my hook-up to the supply point. When he did this he read the electric meter next to my plug and made a note of it. he said that there would be a €0.50 connection charge which I pay when I leave.

At the end of our weeks holiday, I went to settle my bill and I was a little apprehensive of what it would cost.

Imagine my surprise when I was presented with the bill.

One weeks electric (on 24hrs for coolbox and cooking) including connection fee,

€4.90.

Both you and I know how much we pay here in the UK, £2 sometimes £3 on top of your pitch fee, per DAY.

Why the massive difference????

Always look for a hook up pitch.

Running

• Fridge.
• Cool Box
• Water heater
• Heating System
• Heather in awning
• TV
• DVD/Digibox
• Recharge Battery
• Charge mobiles
• Mrs Scarletsfan's hair dryer and straighteners
• Lighting

I reckon I get my money's worth (and looking at the above list, my own little hole in the ozone layer  )

Why more expensive here? Why not, everything else is?

Look for a site with free hookup. They do exist, you know. I'm going to one in a few weeks!

I also think its value for money at £2 to £3 a night.

We have Halogen heater on when needed.

Straighteners and mobiles.

Kettle and toaster.

Small desk lamp and lantern.
