I bought my used motorhome at the end of last summer and after one trip was unable to use the van again until recently. I need to know whether I should have some sort of a hosepipe with me to fill up the water tanks, and how to go about it. Sorry to be such an idiot but as a woman of a certain who travels with just a dog for company I want to make the most of my vehicle and am no sure just where to turn. I hope someone out there can help me.

Thank you al so much

So you have a 100 litre fresh water tank and Motorhome service points with a hose to fill your tank and then you get told that maybe you can only travel with 20 litres of water and don't use the hose because it might be dirty! It was a simple question which just needs simple advice - you have a tank so fill it up; you have a hose provIded so use it.

We top up the water to the brim, especially in Winter when many water supplies are turned off to avoid frost damage to their pipework, and don't need to worry about filling up for some days.

When we are lost in deepest France, which we often are, then finding a working fresh water supply can be a problem and sometimes it's the local Cemetery tap that comes to the rescue - a few Euro donation in the box helps to keep our moral duty intact.

A decent hose pipe and connectors should keep the OP on course and, as others have said, asking Motorhome owners on site to assist will usually be a very good option.
