Transfering Water

husky, that looks like something for a hernia.....to cure one, not cause one, but might be an equal chance...

if staying on sites with showers (and using them) our fresh tank lasts about ten days, more than enough time on a CC (or anywhere in the uk)  site.....so doesn't become an issue.

even showering in the van, 5 days is easily doable...

I would imagine most vans with 100ltr+ fresh tanks would do the same.

brim the tank with a hose on the way in, job done.

failing that, carrying two lengths of hose that can be joined enables the reaching of most taps if you want to refill the tank.

Make sure that you holiday with a touring caravanner.You can then use their aquaroll (topping up your tank with the aid of a submersible pump) and you can visit the area by being driven around in their towcar!!!!!

Don' forget that much of what goes in has to come out so not only is an aqua roll required but also a waste hog or similar requiring another trip to the service point.  Plus of course trips with the cassette.

But if on a CL, as mentioned by HM, then the grey water is likely to be put in the hedge row 😉

True, but unless you pipe it away it will still have to be carried.

As a motorhome owner for quite a few years now, I have always filled the water tank with a hose or walked to and fro with a watering can which has worked well for me. But now due to arthritis in both knees, I am now finding this quite a painful task. I have been toying with the idea of an aquaroll with some kind of submersible or foot pump to transfer the water into the water tank. This would make my on-site life a lot easier. Does anyone do this or have any other suggestions?
