What is it??? (1 Viewer)

[Tony the Manc']

Would some kind person(s) please enlighten me?
I was always under the impression that a canopy was the sort of thing shopkeepers wound out to keep the sun off their shop windows as Arkwright did.
It was one piece of fabric, usually of a waterproof material. It had no sides or front to it.
Again, I thought an awning was that extra room that could be attached to a caravan (sorry for swearing!!!)
It has a roof, sides and a front, with windows and a door.
We therefore, have a canopy on our moho and not an awning.
Why then do sites insist on attempting to charge us for an awning?
Clarification required, please?

On a campsite, the awning is the bit you attach to your awning, that you’ve wound out.

Winding the awning in and out, doesn’t bring any extra costs, but attaching an awning, to your awning will incur charges.

Good init and hopefully clear as muddy water

But if you wind it out and put sides on it, expect to be charged.

I've not used many sites and don't book a pitch 'with awning' and never been charged for winding out my canopy on a 'non awning' pitch.

If you are paying for a pitch space then how can they justify charging for anything you put in that space? Their site, their rules I guess.

CAMC club sites offer awning and non awning pitches, in my experience they have been the same price, you are allowed to have your wind out on a non awning pitch as long as it doesn’t extend into the fire break.

On alot of CMC sites the with awning pitches are generally larger

Some of the club none awning pitches are tiny or stuck on a corner. I never book none awning for that reason,, never been charged for the wind out.

The CAMC non awning pitches that we have used, we could wind the awning out during the day but had to take it in at night.

The beauty of the non awning pitches, is that you can sticky out the awning as far or as little as required. Doesn’t need to be fully poking out, oh errrr matron

As I understand d it CMC awning pitch is one that has space to put out an awning
and fit an enclosure. I think it is because on a non awning pitch if you have a caravan and a car there is not space to park it on the pitch . The warden will tell you! After you have put the enclosure up
