A Real Newbie Water Question.

Hello and welcome to CT and our great hobby. 

Best to take your own hosepipe and a good selection of tap connectors, more than one of each if you're apt to forget to remove it 😉.

We use ordinary hosepipe but others use food grade. We operate our water supply according to our plans. We choose not to drive around with a full water tank, but we always have enough for a cuppa and loo flush 😉. If we're not staying long and there's showers on site well only half fill. We always do our dishes in our van. If we're going off site similar but if site has lots of walks or bus route we fill to the top of the tank. We also carry a 5 gallon water carrier top up without moving.

Depending on the site there maybe a MHSP, motorhome service point, where you can fill up and empty, hopefully off the site road but not always on this club sites! If there isn't one you can stop at a water tap and fill up.

I always keep a hug of water straight from the tap for cold drinks.

Enjoy your trip. Folks are generally friendly and are glad to help if asked or offer advise.

Edit beware of any attached hosepipe on any site you don't know what the last person used it for 😲 maybe the toilet cassette 😲

Thanx for the advice Bakers2.

I'd better fish some fittings out.

Don't make the mistake of using the tap that is for flushing away waste water! It should be marked "drinking water!"

A great tip, Takethedogalong. Thanx.

A motorhome question in the caravan section !!!!!

I've moved this thread to tbe motorhome section now.

Shows as being in the motorhome section on my equipment. Just gone to copy it to show you and it now says caravan. 

I logged in after I read your post, in order to reply, and it could well be another of this wonderful website foibles 😉😂. 

Does it actually matter in the great scheme of things? I think not. The important thing is a new member has asked a question and received replies. Surely that's all that matters?

Maybe someone could report my post to bring it to the community manager's attention.  Another foibleto be sorted in the distant future 😉

DSB crossed posts. But still interesting that it showed motorhomes before I logged in and caravans after. Not the other way round 😉

the problem is, do we want to go the same way as the C&CC where every topic is on the same page/section. I hope not.

One of the weird and wonderful ways of CT Bakers2... 😀
