Yeh that was the case on new 3-phase connections about four years ago. It may have changed recently due to the new found fervour for smart metering (which are nothing than more sophisticated HH meters) as I’m sure you’re aware.
Thanks all for the advice. I think we look at a few options including the generator. I'm a bit thick on these things - am I correct in assuming a generator can only be used on its own or can it be used along with a wired supply as a top up?

That would be a definate no.- as mentioned aboveor can it be used along with a wired supply as a top up?
Make sure the load is reasonably balanced across all 3 phases, generators don't like unbalanced loads......
Another 20 caravans at peak times
So Genny capacity needed 320 amps / 3 phases= 100 amp /phase
Use your own numbers & speak to a sparky with experience of that sort of work
