Lads,

Don’t get stressed about it !

I’ve stayed on La-Toretta in the past, up to 3 months at a time and the meter on my particular pitches were all individually metered, there may be up to 6 pitches & 6 metres in a cabinet on that post, but the meter is numbered according to you’re pitch and you get a reading (you can view anytime) when you go on, a reading when you pay (monthly in my case) and you are charged for your use over the permitted daily usage.

It’s been maybe 8 or 9 years since I stayed there as the site was prone to flooding and there are better sites in Benidorm in my opinion.

There could well be a system as Steve friend states, and if you are content with that arrangement then that is fine too, if not look elsewhere or insist on individual metering.


My motorhome is fitted with an energy monitoring system, I simply zero it on hook up and I see exactly my electrical usage but with almost 700 watts of solar fitted I seldom use power from a hook up point.

Read the ops post he was asking a question as to wether he had to use the caravan site electricity because his bill was 61e or wether he could change it to another supplier. Then of course you knowing everything decide to come up with a formula you got from a very good friend not that you know personally. And I just explained that it would seem unfair if that happened, but because of your arrogance and know all attitude you decided you knew best to tell me that I didn’t have a clue about residency and utility bills, so I explained my situation which you where obviously not expecting hence your latest rant.

If you stopped being so arrogant by telling other people what they know and don’t know then maybe we could have had a sensible debate,.

If you don’t  like caravan sites or haven’t lived on one then maybe you shouldn’t criticise, let people make their own minds up. Remember what the OP asked, and stop being mightier than thou. By the way I don’t like living in high rise flats but I wouldn’t tell anyone not to. Keep safe and chill.

Calm down dear, you will get yourself upset.......You must stop calling people silly names.

I'm not interested one tiny bit about your opinions......🤷

Chill

Haha that's exactly why you're so arrogant, because only your opinion counts and you discount others wether they are right or wrong, I have read your comments in the past and found some helpful so sometimes your arrogance doesn't show, anyway I take it you read BeniSnowbirds account of La Torretta, I wouldn't have thought that had changed but I could be wrong, at least he has first hand knowledge. Keep safe.
