April 12th?

Nice. I was in a good mood for one whole day until i heard that! Its not particularly practical even in a motorhome if you want to stay more than 1 night - unless you've got a fully serviced pitch. And you enjoy cleaning out the casette.

its really not a big deal emptying the cassette, takes 5 min and gets one out in the fresh air, makes us appreciate the sophistication of our house loo and so on ...
 
We are of to Old Oaks, Glastonbury on April 12....they also state that following government guidance we’ll have to use our own facilities unless the guidance changes (which is a shame as their facilities are 5*).....not much of an issue for us, however pubs, restaurants etc. can also open on the same day for outside drinks/food only, does this mean their toilets will not be open either? I can’t see how that would work....

Why not... do you not have a shower and/or toilet in your motorhome?
Despite the negatives, using your own private personal facilities is far preferable to using communal ones.

Agree,,toilet in our van is cleaner than any site loo and I know who has used it..BUSBY.

Using the on board toilet not a problem.
That's why you have a weak sumach and a wife.
 
So, here we are in a Pandemic, far too many people still falling ill and sadly passing away and somebody is moaning that the facilities on a site will not be open..... say no more or I may say too much!

Just 1 night ?? I spend around 6 WEEKS on an Aire in France with only water and grey/black water disposal. I have a shower and toilet and use them.
No EHU just a solar panel.

I thought Aires had a maximum stay of 72 hours. Can we stay that long on one?
 
PAID site with maximum 21 days, go away for 48 hours then return for another 21 days
 
I prefer to use my own facilities.
When I go away, its a break, chill down from my normal V busy life.
Doing the cassette, cleaning the van spotless inside and out, doing any odd jobs on it , going for a hike with the dogs, get some "van" shopping the relaxing with a newspaper and a brew is a holiday for me.

Only time I use site facilities is when my water is low

the mitigation is grossly disproportionate to the actual risk being faced. We will have to agree to disagree.
 
CL's, CS's, pub / farm shop stops, or just ask, found some wonderful places, if you are spending they usually let you stop, that's the beauty of having our own facilities

i like the photo tombola. I just worked my way through 3 series of 'Bottom'...i'm that bored right now. Whats most worrying is how many little sayings Ive got that are taken directly from the script! I'll have to find 'filthy rich and catflap' now, thats his lesser known 'oevre'

I am amazed at the amount of people who appear to own fully equipped mohos yet don't like using their own facilities.

I've been motorhoming since the last century, but always used the campsite shower and toilets, except at night. On our France/Spain trip last year I decided to stay as covid-safe as possible, so didn't use the campsite facilities at all, using the on-board facilities. It was just a habit, I suppose. It's no big deal emptying the grey waste and the cassette, and filling with fresh water a bit more often. We nearly always use campsites, except for overnight stops, because autoroutress prefers it.
 
I’m out on a limb here,,I actually enjoy doing all the things to do with my motorhome,water filling,emptying, toilet stuff,we have hardly ever used site facilities, not because they are bad,,( some are bloody amazing), it’s just the way we like to do things,,and surely that’s the basis of having an MH and doing your own thing,,it’s all a bloody big adventure for me,,,
 
I sort of understand the closure of showers, but not toilet facilities. When I open the pub I assume I am allowed to open the toilets, even if I can only serve my guests food and drink alfresco. I haven't been told not to let my guests use the loo...

As for me, in my van, I'd rather use my own loo than go walking all the way across a site, tripping over guide ropes in the dark. I don't have a shower so I might use one on a site. But generally I don't stay at sites and wash in the sink. Perhaps I'm a little strange. It's been said before...
 
Ok folks this is how I see it
we have spent 14 months in lockdown as of 12th April we are allowed out to play but we are not allowed to crap/wash where someone else has to clean.
So the question is go away and use own facilities ?(answer A) or wait till all sites can open and offer full crap away facilities (answer b)

I do think again it comes down to choice. If you don’t want to use club facilities fine, don’t, but why slag off those that do? Even when club site facilities are open if you don’t want to use them I don’t think you will be forced to.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand the shower closure thing. Has anyone seen any proof anywhere of anyone catching Covid from using a shower?
I would hazard a guess the answer will be no, if not why not? It’s obviously really dangerous and you will catch Covid. We (well I) use soap in various forms in the shower and soap and water have been shown to kill the virus. Therefore the more soap and water used in facilities surely the more the virus is killed off.
