Rally - goers are themselves a minority within the caravanning world and will by definition be more likely to be prepared to do without hookup. The "big two" club sites have very few pitches without hookup and the very small number of sites they run with no hookups at all are highlighted as such in the respective site books. Another factor which I bet BW will cite if asked is the fairly recent rule changes on reselling electricity - intended to apply to rented flats, the wording of the legislation could be taken as wider ranging, and the "big two" clubs have both interpreted it to mean that they cannot let a hook up pitch at the non electric price to a unit which does not use the electric. Personally I think their interpretation is wrong, most commercial sites continue to charge extra for hookup if used exactly as before and I haven't heard of any prosecutions. I think that was the last time we used the mains input on the camper, when a particularly unhelpful warden insisted that the only space left qualified as a hookup pitch despite the site having no defined pitches as such, and power bollards in the centre of the grass area, a layout which some wardens use to be flexible about what constitutes an electric pitch. -- Niall ------------------------ Yahoo!
