Fresh Water Solutions

As i may have posted before it is not the MV service points on sites that are main problem, it is the extremely poor design and position of the outlets ,on both our motor caravans it cost about £10 to modify the outlets into user friendly discharge, that could and should have been as built,rather than expecting the leisure industry to spend thousands of pounds to cater for poor design of LVs

All we have in MH is a hosepipe, a bucket (multi purpose) and a small collapsible water carrier. Fill up at home, top up on sites as we go out and about, empty similar, or bucket/ pipe waste Grey waste ( nearly all shower/ handwash) into hedgerow with owner permission. So easy.......

JVB. Bring on those open grids, that would solve it for most. 

edit....in an easy access spot. 

Why? As i said in my post,when its poor motor caravan  design that is the real problem

The original design of motorhome waste points employed on Club sites is awful. Fortunately they are actually changing them to full width open grills which makes it easy for all motorhomes to dump waste water whether the water drains for offside, nearside or central. I am not suggesting that motorhome waste taps are perfect, far from it but at the end of the day it is the design of the site facility that makes the biggest difference. 

BSB Tourers, I don't think I have ever seen any motorhomers  in Europe with an aquaroll for fresh water. They fill their on board tank from a hosepipe or from whatever watering can or portable water carrier they have with them - as we do with our small caravan. I don't want to cart an aquaroll around for fresh water. Do you? 

Agree DK. Our MH drain isn't bad anyway, at the rear, our MH is possibly a tad higher than more modern ones. The MH waste point at Warwick Site is a shocker, even we, with our little 5.5 metre job had to shuffle, and there was a lot of damage visible to adjacent posts and fencing, so I am guessing others have had worse problems than us.

Some of us do and it proves quite handy for longer stays.

We were at Chatsworth in early December and in order to position the waste point over the drain I had to park across the adjacent pitch. I did note that in both the review I wrote and the survey that the CMC sent after the visit. I accept at 7.5 mts long we have a slightly larger motorhome than many but you do get the impression that motorhome waste points were an afterthought. I know the Club are addressing this but it seems a very slow process.

JV, I have to disagree. While I don't doubt that the outlet design on MHs could be improved, the design and layout of club (both clubs) MHSPs is truly appalling.

Who's bright idea was it to install manhole covers that weigh a ton and bend when they're driven over so they jam? And who thought that only having a couple of choices of where to be able to drain into said square holes rather than a long grid was clever? Whoever thought it was a great idea to angle the ends of the service bays so there's insufficient room to manoeuvre even a modest sized MH? I'll tell you who - someone who's never used a MH in a true life situation.

Believe me, if I could overcome these problems for the sake of spending a mere £10 I'd be very happy. It beats me how you cannot see the problems lie with the design of the MHSPs.
