Has anyone encountered a ban on filling your van with water with a hosepipe? We attended the Caravan Club site at Morn Hill, Winchester and were confronted by what I consider to be the rudest site warden that I have ever met. The confrontation started when I secured my car trailer via a plastic covered hauser around a tree adjacent to my pitch. He proudly announced that "this is the Caravan Club and we don't do that kind of thing here"! He then suggested that I put the trailer in a place that wasn't secure, at which point I reminded him that my trailer has a value of £1800 and I would prefer to attach it to my vehicle for security. A short while later I was starting to fill my water tank via my hose when our friendly campsite warden reappeared to tell me that a hosepipe is a trip hazard and If I wished to fill my water tank. I would have to take my motorhome to the Motorhome service point. I reminded him that my trailer was now attached to the wheel of the motorhome and this would at the very least inconvenient. He then rather sarcastically suggested I use a watering can.
At this point I asked if it was possible to get a full refund at which he replied "Oh yes" and walked away.
I spoke to my wife and told her we were leaving but she made an attempt to smooth things over and even offered to stand by the hose pipe and make sure that nobody tripped over it.....this offer was met with abuse with totally unprovoked verbal aggression. My conclusion to all of this is that Motorhomes/campervans are not welcome at caravan club sites.
Am I the only one that has found thiis or has anyone else had similar problems.
