Had an interesting discussion with a CG owner once over this one. We have a shower. We have a toilet onboard we use both. We don't use CG bathrooms & showers.
Tenters don't have toilets or showers. They NEED CG facilities. Facilities that the owner must pay somebody to clean. How come tenters get a cheaper rate? The only thing the self contained RVer uses more of is electricity.
We just consider them all about equal. We actually don't allow tenting, too much hassle keeping everything alive in the sites, plus they are generally the loudest guests (tents don't insulate sound well and tenters are the last to go into their accommodations since they don't have televisions, sofas, recliners etc.). As for the rigs that use more electricity etc. than others, say big class A, versus a truck camper, what we spend on electricity for the big rig is offset in labor and bathroom expenses on the little ones. Drives me nuts when I see parks trying to charge an extra couple of bucks for 50 amp electrical or putting coin operated controls on the showers. That's stepping over dollar bills to corral a couple of pennies.
