Some time ago there was a thread on here about the "correct" way to park on a site, ie, awnings same side, hab doors, spacing etc. so I thought that I would share this with you.
A few weeks ago we stayed on a very nice site in Bala, North Wales (www.penybont-bala.co.uk) and after being given our allocated pitch we drove round the horseshoe shaped site road to it. If you can imagine a horseshoe with the rounded bit at the bottom, that's where we were, on the inside of the curve. Directly across the road from us was a caravan, on the outside of the curve, facing in. So if we had reversed onto the pitch we would have been looking directly into the caravan and would have had no view. So under instructions from the Boss, I drove in, and we had a nice view of the hills etc. All of the other units were sited facing in over, so missing out on views and staring into each others homes. There was plenty of space between pitches, so no one stepped out onto someone else.
The next morning we went for a walk into Bala for a couple of hours and when we returned everyone of the motorhomes was turned round and even one of the tuggers had turned their van round, so everyone had a view of the lake or the hills. The exception being the tugger who was parked opposite us. He had a view of the rear of our MH and backed onto trees. Looked like a seasonal pitch anyway so they didn't seem bothered.
The moral ?
Don't be like sheep and follow the flock if it doesn't upset anyone else. :thumb:
