Or it will form a huge wet area under the van and help keep the grass nice and green.

A gentle dribble is ideal .

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?

Having come back to camping, after 20 years caravanning, and after a break of several years, being that much older of course ☺, I didn't fancy going back to lugging Aquarolls, and a Wastemaster.

Hence going for a motor home this time.

The fresh water tank holds the equivalent of two and a half 40 Litre Aquarolls, and I have a 20m, and 10m length of food grade hose for filling.

I would not consider carrying water from a site tap to top it up, and if I couldn't reach the tap with the hose, I would drive to the service point.

That said, our mho will not be one of those that doesn't go out and about, which is the reason we went for a 6m one, for the convenience of being able to park it. As such it would not be problem to stop at the service point on our return to site, and top up, when necessary.
