As I was looking for something else, I came across these.....

https://colapz.co.uk/products/collapsible-fresh-mini-kit

They look good for anyone who knows they ae going to be using a serviced pitch and wants to save on space by leaving the aquaroll at home.  Just wondered if anyone has used them?

They are quite expensive and would be no good for use as an aquaroll on their own as capacity is only 8 litres.....

Just thought it was worth a mention, if anyone is interested.

They're quite good those Collapz people aren't they? Haven't used one but would consider it if we did use service pitches more. Finding quite a few CL owners now installing exclusive water tap so may have to look into it at some time. Don't use SPs on CAMC sites.

I always try to use serviced pitches as much as possible.  If I could slot in more serviced pitches for the little gap we have in our 6 week summer plan, I'd consider getting one.  That means I could leave the aquaroll and wastemaster at home: save the weight and the space

 That looks very impressive.

Given thata Aquaroll is around £50 is not that much more expensive, especially as it includes the ball valve.

A pity that I already have 2 Aquaroll!!

Like you David I use SP almost exclusively and I like this device very much.

I have considered those 'straight in' devices but decided against it due to (minor) worries about flooding the caravan and if the water on pitch fails (as it did last October when the tap froze) then an aquaroll still functions.

I would still carry the aquaroll and wastemaster as they live in the van permanently and can't be bothered taking them in and out into the garage but this device would save getting the aquaroll out on site and if it was half price that price I would probably buy one.

Actually as I write I'm thinking I might get one. Thankssmile

don't think a wastemaster and aquaroll weigh that much, unless your travelling with them full. wink

Having recently had a caravan axle problem, I'm more cautious about the weight of items we carry.  Whilst the aquaroll and wastemaster are not that heavy, several items, all of which are not that heavy, soon add up.  Consequently, we find ourselves carrying far less stuff with us, and far more stuff in the car.  I've actually started to feel it's quite convenient having the aquaroll and wastemaster in the car especially as the aquaroll and the wastemaster go on the 'offside' of the van, which is where we park the car.

The trouble with carrying these things in the car is not the weight, but the space they take up, hence my interest in this item.

I'm with you all the way, Corners, but if I could save the bulk of the aquaroll and wastemaster, this would be an attractive proposition.

Well, I bit the bullet yesterday and have ordered one of Colapz Fresh mini kit.  I also ordered a flexi waste pipe kit too.  You can just join as many metre sections together as you need.  Each metre section is compressed into a smaller pipe for storage/ carriage.  It's been an expensive few days, but I hope worth it in the long run.  No more wrestling with metres of convoluted waste hose!

I also bought the flexible waste pipe kit at the Peterborough Show. Fits nicely under the drivers seat where it can be easily reached.

They were demoing the fresh water kit at the show, seemed to be quite a lot of interest
