Please advise me on what extra's are required if we book onto a super pitch?? We normaly would use standard pitch.

thanks M

[slimseydy]

super pitch usualy has
TV ariel socket,need a TV cable extension
grey waste water drain.make sure you have about 5-6 meters of waste pipe as it is not very often the grids for grey waste are next to the van.
fresh water tap.you will need the aqua roll extension hose with auto fill to fully appreciate a super pitch,about £30/£35.00 ,
I have heard some super sites also have an elsan for the loo.yet to see one my self.
hope this helps

not that many super or serviced pitches around in this country unless i have been to the wrong sites.Seem more poular on some of the french sites where they are sometimes called grand comfort.As slim says waste pipe & a mains adapter, the float type you put in a 40ltr aquaroll cost about £15 on ebay

All the pitches on our CL are super pitches, with hardstandings, and we also supply a length of hose to connect to your van for the grey water. We have satellite hook up and Wi-Fi included.
As we are not far from you, why not come and have a look around for yourself?

I have used serviced sites at Damage Barton but these are only waste water and mains water. 3x 2mtr. sections are dependant on where your waste outlets are fitted. My outlets are to the rear.
I made up 1-1/4" pipes with flexible caravan drain links to pushfit black rubber waste reducers (1-1/4"x 3/4") which allows it all to be folded up, this connects then to a three swept tee manifold (1-1/4")and caravan waste pipe plugs into the caravan waste. All it needs now is a big 5" tube with screw on caps to be mounted transversly under the van to make transporting easier.

Just finished two weeks touring Northern Ireland. using five sites where all the pitches were super (or serviced) pitches as standard. According to the N.I. Tourist Board's camp sites list virtually every site has 100% serviced pitches.
Stopped at the CC Low Park Wood site in Cumbria on the way back. Had reserved a standard pitch as the serviced pitches were all booked. Arrived on site and obtained a serviced pitch because of cancellations/no shows.

I have three 2m lengths and several 300mm/450mm lengths of 30mm black plastic waste pipe with selection of push on 45° and 90° bends for the grey water disposal. It is surprisingly light and easier to clean than flexi hose. Made a rack in the front locker with 30mm pipe clips so all retained tidily and out of the way.

I like that idea Beejay. Nice job.

We have a superpitch hose, with pressure reducer. Just plug in and no need for pump to work. It's made by the same company who make the fixing on the van.

Used a site near Perpignan, France which had brick built toilet "cabins" with own water, waste and toilet on each pitch.

you can really lose water pressure using hose with a pressure reducer. Far cheaper and retain your water pressure to use the aqua roll valve

[discoverydriver]

It does have less pressure but seems to work ok.

A site near me used to deliver a newspaper on their service pitches free of charge every morning .

I have made the pipe connections much easier using a 1-1/4" Magiflex pushfit flexible connector. Pipe lengths are now 1mtr.
long with a flexible in between. A 6 mtr. length now fits, folded in a zigzag, on the back wall of my front locker easily
