UNBELIEVABLE: Dynamic Pricing Caravan and Motorhome Club - VanTalk19
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- We've been told that the Caravan and Motorhome Club introduced dynamic pricing last year. We didn't know this. Basically the more demand there is the higher the price is. Is this right for a club?
Watch till the end to see what goes off in our members area.

Over 60s get a discount with the caravan and camping club. I've booked a one night at for myself and my wife electricity included at Beadnell . £29 for the night which isn't too bad.
Hi. Andy should be able to get us a discount then!!! 🤣🤣
Joking aside yes for a nice site in a nice location £29 seems great. Happy travels and we hope to see you in the road 🚐
David, I just think you are very lucky to have a wife with electricity included.
😂😂
Van talk just gets better with each episode ty
Love to read this
loved the out take of the famous merangue sketch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
Thanks so much for featuring Benji, he indeed is a well loved pup 🐶
Benji is a beauty! 🐾 Thank you for sharing with us
Don’t think i’ll be renewing, my Motorhome & Caravan Club membership. Price for a night at Chatsworth £58.50 is taking the P**s now. For non profit organisation. Love the vlogs .
Crikey. That’s a pricy one!!! We haven’t stayed at that site but have stayed in the pub car park opposite Chatsworth for free….. (well for a few pints in the pub of course!!)
Haha. That profit must be going somewhere🤔
Great change of tack. Loved it so much. Bouncing off each other big time. No need for sleeping tabs, I can giggle myself to sleep especially after the bloopers. I nearly keeled over at the kitchen table watching you on my laptop. Love an best wishes x
Hello there. Glad you enjoyed this one. Just love it that you laughed 😆 that’s the best thing ever!! Have a great weekend 👍
Hi Guys, hope you're having a good trip, thanks for the mention and the inclusion of Fin and Robyn ❤
❤️
Our van is also called ViviVan like Kenny's. My darling sister was Vivienne and she loved adventuring in her van - but the little bugga turned up her toes way too young and I miss her sooooo much! So we named our van ViviVan in her honour and now she campervans all over New Zealand with us! It's a great name! Just found your channel and it's good fun! Cheers from Waiheke Island, New Zealand. 🤩
Welcome to our channel and we are so sighted you found us!! 👍
Hello over there in Waiheke Island ☀️
Truly sorry to hear about your sister but fab to hear she travels with you 🗺️ Have a great day
@@Stchristopherofatlantis thanks and thanks also for the entertainment! 😁 It's good to have found a new channel to catch up on!
Hi guys, another great van talk...we agree with you about dynamic pricing, we are CAMC members and feel a bit cheated if the price creeps up just because its a popular site. Consequently, if its a shite-site it should be uber cheap.... Bet its not!! There's only one thing that reduces when ur over 60, and its not the price of a CAMC site!!🤣🤣🤣
Hi Andy, This is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the mention. Will do a tour of my can for you guys soon.
Keep up the vlogs. 🎉
Excellent 👍
Thanks for featuring our van. Loved the video especially the blooper section - one of my favourite jokes that always makes the family groan. Your recent posts have inspired me to check out the cost of getting over to Harris in the van later this year as well
Hi. It’s such a terrible joke…. 🤣🤣🤣
We were going to head to Harris but don’t have enough time to do it properly. There are ferries from Skye there… we hope you make it over
Also special hello to Molly 🐾
These Vantalks are getting really good. Must be alot of hard work. Much appreciated. Btw, the cab backdrop really works.
Hi. We absolutely love this comment. The hard work is worth it every time 🚐🐾☀️
Have a fab weekend
We live near Saltburn. Try Skiningrove lots of camp vans park there free.
Hi 👋 I’ve seen that on the map, we will take a look. Thankyou 👍👍
Really enjoyed, cheered me up! Loved the jokes and the van pics. Thank you - have a lovely weekend - all the best, David & Rachel 👍
Hi David and Rachel, Hope you are having a lovely Friday evening 👍😎 Thanks for watching and glad you are cheered up
We are members of both clubs. We tend to use the camping and caravan club whenever possible because we get the age related rate. Also in our opinion they are more relaxed & not so bumptious! Really enjoyed the jokes section and seeing all the pups. We are off to Scotland soon & I can't wait.
Beautiful Scotland! Bet you guys can’t wait to go. How’s things?
Always such a great watch. The magician’s dog joke was so close to perfect. The punchline should be a labracadabrador. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
We left the caravan and motorhome club last year. We now use private campsites.
We couldn't get a discount even though we don't need electricity.
One site we used had no toilets or showers, or grey water disposal and still £25 per night and increasing through the year.
We full-time and now if needed we use private sites.
Hi. Some fab private sites around and some of our favourites are private. Happy travels 🚐🚐👍
Thanks guys,
Another great van talk, well done to everyone who got a mention on this ever popular channel 👏.
Hope you scottish trip is still going OK 👍.
Again still watching from sunny hebden bridge 😊.
Look forward to the next one.
Take care as always.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️
Hi. How long are you there for?
We are looking forward to finally meeting you both soon!!!!!
Sending our love x
@Stchristopherofatlantis
Hi
Reception not the best here, only just got your message,
Unfortunately back home Sunday 😢.
Yes to meet you all in person will be fantastic, hope we don't let you down 😵💫
Take care,
P and J 👍 😌💖
Hiya both, thanks for showing our boy Digby. We cant wait to get back to the uk and get him out touring again real soon. Keep up your good work loving van talk vids 👍🏻 Steve and Lou & Digby
Digby is a handsome chap 🐾 we were delighted to show him. Glad you enjoyed. Wishing you all a fab weekend
Hi guys, I’m a C&MH club member and have been for 6 years (I think). Each year I question if membership is value for money but still renew. I have decided that this year is the last. I rarely go on their sites because I don’t like the layouts with the feeling of being on top of each other (oo’er missus😂), I question the cost versus other sites and few are actually convenient for me as I like to walk to somewhere, beach/shops etc
Love your channel, 👍🏻
Hi. Thanks for watching us and glad you enjoy. We have noticed quite a few of them are not centrally located as we do also enjoy walking and the occasional pub!! Have a great weekend
Hey guys and hi from the place Claire cannot pronounce 😂. Claire is like a ray of sunshine with her laughing all the time thanks for brightening our day. There’s lots of talk about the value of sites and won’t get into that but suffice to say I won’t be renewing the caravan and Motorhome membership. Hope to see you at our friendly club site some time. I’ve checked out some pubs selling Madri. Take care ❤
Hello ☀️☀️ You will be seeing us, you’ll hear the laugh before you see us!!!! 🚐
I totally agree about the CAMC. We are members but don't really use. We've been going to far more independent sites and especially love the Tranquil Park sites. Best thing , no kids or noise. Also better value for money. Great van talk and lived the jokes 😂
Tranquil Parks!! We haven’t seen these before ….. OMG looking now!!!!!
Another great van talk with some absolutely cracking motorhomes and vans.... loved the jokes ....
Thanks for the shout-out with pablos portrait.
Can't wait for your next videos guys, super fantastic as always 👏 ❤
Pablos portrait is fantastic. We absolutely love it, thank you Nina ❤️
Great Van Talk , I had no clue what was going on until take 4 then PMSL 😂😂😂 we always enjoy your videos, brilliant 👍🏼
Hi Graham. Claire here and I still don’t get it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🍰 Hope you guys are well. Extra love to Ted 🐾
Agree with dynamic pricing comment. One of the big advertising points of joining was around saving $15 per night BUT any time we have used a site it’s been more expensive! Probably because one day notice is generally more than we have
New members from NZ currently in Scotland
Hi. We hope you enjoy Scotland, we are just returning home for there. We love it.
Thank you for watching our video 👍👍
😂 me and my late wife used to make videos and crack up laughing like you at the end 😊 I wasn’t too bad, she was the giggler like you 😊
Giggling is contagious
Hope you are well x
Brilliant as always you two..hope your having a great time in that there Scotland👍🏻
Blummin luuuurve it
@@Stchristopherofatlantis hope yous get some dry weather so yous can get out and about..Enjoy 👍🏻
It’s very wet!!! 🌦️
@@Stchristopherofatlantis hope it drys up soon for yous iam sure you two will still have fun good luck
Great vlog guys, just booked our May get away, off to Hawes and Sandringham ♥♥
Hi. Sounds fab!!!!! 👑
I'm honoured you selected 2 of my jokes but I think that 1931 song video would have been the cream on top of a great episode of Van Talk 😂
They were absolute classic jokes. Loved them!!!!!!
May show that song in another episode 🥴👋🤣👍
Lmao…. Mozza was sat on the throne (Door open! So she can multitask! Do her #2 and a watch tv!)
Me, “van talk has got a VD on”
Her, play it then,
Me, it’s #19
Her, N N N Nineteen…!!!
Just a split second before Claire did…!
One of those times when you had to be there…😂
Omg! She’s just come back and persisted to give me a running commentary of her movements!! Why on earth? 🙈🤷♂️ you can tell we’ve been married 37 years…🙈
Awesome half hour guys. Can’t wait for the next one. Stay safe. Enjoy your time in the haggis country.👍
Glad you enjoyed our vantalk. We are totally loving beautiful Scotland 🏴❤️
Mozza clearly has the same witty repartee as me!!
Love you two , so funny
Thank you 👍
it wasn't a tart, it was a meringue :-)
On Dynamic pricing, lots of insurance companies do the same, as you probably know they will only quote up to 30 days in advance but the closer you get to your start date the more the premium goes up. When I bought my last van I got a quote to start in a couple of days when I was going to pick it up and it was about £500, but then the broker told me if he re run the quote to start in 30 days it was only £350, so I gave the vendor a deposit and he kept it on his insurance for 30 days until I could pick it up.
🍰 🤣🤣🤣🤣
thanks for watching
I don't think I will be renewing our membership this year either, we tend to use private sites.
Some of the private sites are fantastic
Happy travels
Hi that was interesting take on the camc. pricing a coupe of good points there.
We think so. Thanks for watching
We are long time members currently travelling around Europe for six months . Three months in we tried to book a site at Lake Garda and were told we would be charged a £20 booking fee unless we booked on line . This proved difficult as kept showing sites full . Fee eventually waived as they had to call site and check availability. All getting ridiculous , so different from other years when travelling abroad .
Hi there. Did you stay there in the end then. We would like to head over there.
Thanks for watching our video 👍☀️
Great again guy's hope you loved Arisaig... What site were you on were looking at sunnyside this year.. Myself and Fiona have not renewed our membership either.. To expensive, enjoy the rest of your trip, cheers, Fiona & Gary 🏴🏴
Hi Gary and Fiona. We love love it 🏴❤️
In my personal opinion; if I can have one nowadays!!!! I think the days of the camping and motorhome and camping and caravaning are numbered. I feel as the cost of recent electric costs increases are not reflective to the real world. There are lots of other alternatives nowadays such as wild camping; pub stop overs; CL; and independent sites. Great show guys always on board for the show. 😂😂😂
Hi. Thanks for watching 👍 There are some fantastic independents out there. Have a great weekend 😎
Been a member of camc for four years since we bought our first motorhome but have only stayed at one of their sites, Hawes. I think they are overpriced and too institutional. We pay our membership so we can use cls.
Hope you’ve had a great time in Bonnie Scotland 🏴. Looks like you’ve visited some great places , Arisaig is another beautiful place ! Even though don’t have a van or motorhome love watching van talk for the jokes , dogs and general banter . I loved the Jonathon Woss joke ( probably get banned again for spelling 🤣 ) anyway Claire’s laugh kept me awake on my night shift break incase you are wondering what weirdo watches at 3am 😊
Oooh we are loving it so much.
Hope you guys are all ok. Glad you like the general silliness and our fact filled informative videos 😎🤣🤣🤣 Have a great weekend
We joined both just before we got our van just before Xmas, on our 7th week away & haven’t used either yet🎂🤔
Have you missed it?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis WHAT?? First site we stayed at isn’t with either club Silver hill retreat, Teversal, gave 10%. Off, 2 more 10% off over sixty, seldom get any perks with the silver threads but many do that aren’t with the clubs, also blue card holders have 10% of on other sites.
So you definitely haven’t 🤣🤣
Lol.. Just saw our tip mentioned guys❤... To be fair.. Fiona has bought another cooking utensil, a hot plate.. 🍽️😁
Dear Gary. Hot plates are essential utensils. From Claire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My sister and her husband and kids go to the isle of mull every year for the Rallying that’s held there (when it’s aloud) she says it beautiful and the beaches are pretty nice too. They travel up from Otley and help marshal I do believe. Hope the weather is good for you. 👍🚐💨💨
Hi. We have loved Mull and its quaintness.
Weather is very windy and wet but we don’t care and exploring regardless.
How are you guys?
I think when you upgraded your van (I still miss it, niggles and all) you felt the need to join the ccc. But you can take the couple out of Barnsley but not the Barnsley out of the couple, down to earth touring is always the best.
Oh yes!!!! 🦅
We only stayed one year with Camping and motohome, now we just find independants if we want a site. Somehow the outtakes reminded me of Darren's attention span when I'm filming,,, or is it when I'm just talking in general 😂🙅
This made us laugh
Hope you guys are well 👋👋🚐
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I told him what I'd put and and he started shouting next doors cat half way through,,,,, 😂😻 We are fab thank you, tickles to the doggos and love to you all ❤️
Wayhaaaay I made it on this week, cheers guys, keep up the good vid, me and the wife (Lindsey) love your vids
Tom
The caravan is a swift challenger x 835 , and my toy hilux 🤣
Hi Tom and Lindsey, Thanks for sharing and happy travels to you both 👍 Thanks ever so for watching
Your welcome guys, we love the vids, and make me laugh out so loud the wife thinks there’s summut wrong 🤣
I was charged £7 a night for electricity by one club . . . But what I find strange is that I pay about £14 a week in my two bed pak home . . .How does that work ?
This is an interesting point! Thanks for watching
was the comedian called Ken Goodwin 🫣🙂
Yes yes yes yes yes
The funniest comedian that never swears!
“Oh we’re having a good time aren’t we”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂@@Stchristopherofatlantis
Nope said spot on 😂😂
It’s not a club it’s a business calling itself a “club”!Clubs tend to be owned by the members for their benefit .Have you actually seen prices for none members?
Hi there, Yes we have looked to check it out, it is quite a bit more.
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Non members pay £15 a night more than members
So funny loved the joke section thanks for the vlog 😂😂😂😂
Gotta laugh. Hope you did 🤣
Tom Cwuise is in a remake of the film "Whiskey Business" starring Jonathan Woss. The thing is, Jonathan Ross is fine about it, because he takes the mick out of people as well. Jonathan Ross has a new Chinese cooking program and i got into trouble saying that it really Woks. If only Picasso were still alive, he would do a brilliant portrait of your dog.
Hi. How are you? It was only a joke… 🤣People do get upset easily nowadays
How’s things?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Going well thanks. Still looking for more English style food to cook for my channel and my audience in the UK.
We cancelled ours last year x
🚐🚐 hope you guys are well
All the club prices are getting higher. Non club sites are now nearly always cheaper these days even some of the five star ones. I'm a member of the Camping & caravanning club, I for one will not be renewing my membership this year. They are not clubs anymore, they are businesses profitis the aim.
Hi. They are increasingly expensive 🥴
Hahahah love the joke about Jonafen Wos lol
The joke site banned him 🤣🤣🤣
Yep. Like so many commenters here, I won't be renewing my C&MC membership. The prices are ridiculous and I've noticed that many of the sites are in sub-prime locations (next to main roads, etc). Sod that!
Hi. Some are not great locations we agree. Hope you have a great weekend 👍
Oh guys the Mrs hasn't seen this yet 😂😂😂
🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Its a joke! Dynamic pricing?? I understand different parts of the season in years gone by. I am a member of both only in case I have to use them, as back up really. i HAVE NOTICED NON CLUB SITES ARE MORE COMPETITIVE NOW. Makes you wonder.
Hi. Thanks for watching. We have stayed in some incredible non club sites, with excellent locations 👍👍
Well look at this! 🙈🤣🤣🤣 Haven't I put the cat amongst the pigeons! 🤣🤣🤣
Dynamic pricing is big in hospitality and the club changed over when they brought in the new website etc. The thing is I'm happy to pay top dollar for good facilities like Concierge Camping but not for facilities that have seen better days.
Too many sites have increased fees and blamed electric...well just get PAYG then but they won't do that as they can't justify high prices.
People will just vote with their feet.
I have a new rant too! Food vans on sites. Christ, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask! And apart from pizza (which I defy anyone to mess up!)I swear the standard of food is going down.
I also agree with noise and kids playing football near my van rather than on the playground.
I need a lie down after all this ranting 🙈🤣🤣🤣
Hi Sue.
Food vans is a good shout 👍👍 keep us going with the rants!!!!
We haven’t been to Concierge yet but definitely will be trying it out 🚐
I WAS eating my dinner 😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👋
Im all for late night fireside beers... then wine... the gin... neighbours need to suck it up... we're on our holibobs
Party time!!!!!!🥳
How do you send pictures of van and doggy
Hi Debbie. Email is best, it’s stchrisofatlantis@gmail.com 👍😎
Absolute rip off..go private sites cheaper better placed & better facilities... it's a fact... you'd be better spoiling yourself with hotel deals at the club prices
Hi. That’s an interesting way to think of it. Thanks for watching 👍
The CAMC use a 2nd hand hotel booking system which after all the teething troubles and hacking has caused many members to leave or consider doing so. Now that the dynamic pricing is starting to bite with prices nearly doubling for school holidays they will start losing more and more campers. The arrogance and careless attitude of CAMC management beggars belief 👿 9:31
Hi. Thanks for watching. Yes of course the very recent IT issues were also a concern.
Hi again, what's the best email address for joke of the week? Your stchris' gmail bounces back. Cheers Andy.
Ooohhh wonder why, we are receiving other emails. It’s stchrisofatlantis@gmail.com
I’ll look out for it 👋👍
@@Stchristopherofatlantis got it sorted, it wasn't worth your wait though🤣🤣
I love you guys. But some random blokes misses eventually sking past isn't for me....
Thanks for watching Gavin 👍
We’re good Ithankukindly. We’re gearing up to get out to our RV soon, the site has opened up, but the water hasn’t been switched on yet, so I can’t dewinterize it yet. Our site is open 1st April-to end of October. A friend who has an RV near our plot, sent two pics of the view from our site,
I’ll look them up and send you them, as I’m unable to copy and paste on here?!🤷♂️. Ithankukindly.
Not long to go then! Whooop 🚐
