More grief about motorhomes

[SpeedyDux]

Thanks, not being nosey, but looking at average spend per day per unit for when i meet with our council about providing more overnight parking with sleeping, no camping activities, wheels only on ground,

On our recent trip as a couple we spent on average about £40 each day on eating out, drinks, and food shopping, at local pubs and coffee shops etc within walking distance of the campsite we stayed on.

As for those who prefer not to use campsites - each to their own, live and let live, feel free to disagree, as long as you have express or implied permission from whoever owns the land you are using and not contravening a myriad of TROs etc. (in England) to give Councils and the media the excuse they are looking for to have a go at the rest of us.

I sense that the lockdown has increased the hostility from a section of the public who would rather not see MHs and campervans parked up at beauty spots, and this is being stirred up by typical "knocking" stories that the media loves to embellish.

We have a connector on the van end of our hook up cable with a covered socket outlet.
It is a continental socket, I think I ordered it from Germany, very useful.
I don't know if the CMC would consider it a splitter but we have used it on their sites.

Will depend on the warden. We have a similar cable, ignored on one CMC site, told to disconnect on another. No problems on CCC site.

cls are hardly ever where people want to be aires like canterbury are what we need

CLs are where many like to be especially those that have never had the fortune to experience the convenience of aires by travelling over the water.
We don’t have a network of aires in our land limited U.K. and no doubt never will.

Why buy the same supermarket foods when away, there are a lot of farm shops, local bakeries and butchers where we can buy "fresh" foods daily and enjoy the local fare, plus local micro breweries and in some areas wineries, not to mention the pubs, restaurants tea shops etc
For us this is part of this wonderful hobby of ours.
Stop and buy when possible then find your remote spot for the night.

Never heard so much shit in one go , painting every one that does not use a camp site the same way , saying that they put very little into the local economy, I guess the one week we've been away and not stayed at one site , but yet we have spent around 1k , where did that go ?? Ohh let me enlighten you , petrol stations , supermarkets , restaurants etc , chains or local ,they still employe local people , who pay tax , as well as supporting them business to pay their rates and taxes..
Now where's my popcorn again..

1000 quid in a week,,blimey are you Rothchild.BUSBY.

There are several threads running on a similar vein. I suppose the bottom line is 1) there are those who are jealous of the alleged freedom exhibited by these so called "palaces on wheels". 2) The number of alleged incidents of deliberate pollution/vandalism caused by a minority. Having been played up by a media looking for a good story (never mind it being truthful or factual) to sell to their readership. All plays well into a buerocracy minded only to control all factors of life.
