Recently saw a fellow MHer using what looked like a drain pipe foot or elbow inserted into the lookable opening on the side of his van. This allowed for a much easier filling when using a potable water 'Jerry' type container, no wet feet or trousers! Does anyone know where the correct fitting can be purchased or the dimensions for that snug fit?

Oh, you pour things!
I'm not with my van at present so can't measure up for a few weeks and don't fancy the T&R as that may cost me more than watering can!
It just seemed like a clever solution and I could keep my present water carrier!
The answer must be out there some where!

I use a plastic elbow. I just needed to chamfer the end that fits the van inlet to enable a push fit. My jerrycan is 25L and I have learned from experience that it is hard on the arms to hold it steady whilst pouring if completely filled, so I do 15L at a time.

Mind if I ask why folks are using other than a hose to fill a MH tank? Is it so that you don’t have to move off pitch, which I can understand?
We used to top up our onboard caravan tank, but just use a hose in MH. With van, we used a flexible spout funnel, with a removable suction hook and a tie up to keep it steady. Both hands free to pour and steady container.

We only ever fill our aqua roll when first setting up on arrival on site after that we have two 7ltr watering cans and a small container for drinking water,and have found that when ever one of us,goes to the loos or service point ,just take one of the watering cans then top up the aqua roll each trip,our friends who at the moment, still have a motor caravan now do the same and also have a wastemaster under the waste tank outlet, so it saves being in the queue when leaving

I can understand if folks use a lot of Club Sites. We had to queue to dump our waste water at YRP last year. Mind you, it’s a very badly placed MH point, you have to drive around whole site, and was made worse by a plonker who had pulled his van out into roadway around site and then decided to do all his preleaving checks and final storage of items. He had dozens of folks muttering at him, held everyone up. We couldn’t get out even if we didn’t dump waste, so decided to do it anyway.
) as far as the watering can goes
