Hogging taps

They do not seem to have thought about others. If they want to Tee into a communal supply they should do so in a way that it can continue to be used by others. I wonder what they’d do if another member had already connected up?

Zscale, you posted the same post on the C&CC forum ,so is the problem on CL's or CS's ????

Whats the problem?, unless you want to do the same ,just disconect their pipe

Not had it happen, but if it was the only tap,  I don't think I would re connect it.

I've stayed on several CLs this last year and I'm beginning to get a bit fed up with some caravanners who think they have exclusive rights to the water tap and semi-permanently connect their hose to it either directly feeding into their van or into a barrel fitted with a ball valve. Fine on a fully serviced pitch, not so great when it's the only tap to be shared by everyone. I'm getting tired of having to turn the tap off, disconnect their hose, fill my water carrier and then reconnect them. It's sorely tempting to leave them disconnected but I suppose that might create issues with water heaters and pumps running dry.

Am I the only one to have come across this issue? It certainly seems to be getting more widespread. I think this sort of behaviour is unacceptable but the CL owners seem to just want an easy life and not do anything about it.

I would certainly not reconnect.  I would ask them politely to first keep it unconnected, but if they don't then so be it. When I come to use it, it doesn't get reconnected.   Simples

Take said pipe off, fill aquaroll up then replace said pipe,simples...lifes too short.

I agree, but some people do only think about themselves and no-one else. Must admit that I've not see it on all the CL's we've used but do not doubt that it happens.

I would have a word with them - and if they didn't take notice then I'd have a word with the owner of the CL or CS. If that still didn't work then I might be tempted to find a small animal to knaw through their hosepipe in the middle of the night?

Or are you a secret 'pollster' conducting a survey about the type of replies you get on this forum and others.....................? 

Hogging taps - not for washing pigs then?

Surely there can be nothing left for the inventive mind, haven't we run out of these story's yet. Never seen it yet and I use CL's 95% of the time, but if I came across it I would disconnect, fill my aquaroll and trundle away.
