Two Aquarolls

Thanks for posting back it doesn't always happen

As I said, whatever is best for you is the best solution so go with that.

Also what was the main advantage for us, and you've mentioned it, is not having to guess or worry about when the water might run out. Additionally having done the 'chores' after breakfast we were then free to enjoy the rest of the day, and now like you using service pitches even those chores have gone too! For me personally the less work I have to do on holiday the better.

Post edit, actually doing two at once can save about 25% of the time.

We only ever have had I fresh water container, and since our trip to the dark side, now seen the light .again have carried two 6ltr watering cans, that are used to top up the fresh water when taking rubbish to bins , 

For me filling and emptying is a daily routine the lasts probably less than 10 minutes. I take the Aquaroll and Wastemaster to the designated points together, nothing could be simpler and hardly a chore.

I thought the whole point of filling the water container, there are other than Aquaroll available (we have a Water Hog that is larger capacity) and emptying the waste container was to have an opportunity to engage in discourse with other campers, and to get out of the OH's way for a while. 

Also the dawn chorus of plastic wheel on gravel/tarmac to wake your fellow campers is de rigueur 

We have an on board water tank so monitor that via the internal gauge and fill the hog as required, when not on a serviced pitch. Or a pitch with a tap nearby where a splitter can be used to give permanent supply to us and allow others to fill their containers.

On a CL we often discharge grey water to hedges or ditches using the pipework carried.

Serviced pitches are the way to go.

As we use water to drink in various forms, cook with, there will be less waste than fresh water.

 

"We have an on board water tank so monitor that via the internal gauge and fill the hog as required, when not on a serviced pitch. Or a pitch with a tap nearby where a splitter can be used to give permanent supply to us and allow others to fill their containers."

We do the same.  All our water comes via the inboard tank - filled automatically from the aquaroll via a float switch in the i/b tank. Since we use CLs and CS's quite a lot, I always carry a 4-way splitter tap to allow us to plumb in and others to do so if they are so-equipped.

I find the aquaroll needs filling at least twice a day if we're not plumbed in, and how anyone can make one last 5 days, I just don't know!

Hardly a nuisance, though - just part of being away in the van

Surely the water use regulations do not permit the use of these splitters to supply more than one habitation unit?  I know they sometimes appear on serviced sites where there is a problem with one of the taps, but that does not make the use of them legal.

 

ah yes, the dawn chorus☹️

we're on a Club site (with lovely sea view!) which has a great MHSP, well done CC, best effort yet!

so, for us, no trundling or waking folk. 

with showers now open, water usage falls and we normally manage for upto 10 days in these circumstances, so our 3 night stay will be covered by the half tank of fresh left over from the previous site.

waste is also similarly reduced so tank less than a quarter full. on leaving, i might make a short visit to the MHSP to top up with fresh but may not be required as next site has showers and, again, usage will be low.

on CLs etc where two showers are required each day, usage goes way up and 'sustainability' reduces to just 5 days without a 'trundle' anywhere for water.

without an awning (or much else) to consider, its easier for us to take the horse to the water every 10 days or when moving site at the MHSP.

would any number of Aquarolls make life easier?.....

 

I had thought of something along those lines by puting a suitable tank into the back of the Land Rover and filling it up when returning to site. It is usually parked at the "back" of the caravan beside the water equipment anyway.

Aquaroll 40 litre and lasts 5 days, waste 23 litre and lasts the same amount of time.

Where does the 17 litres of water go? no, not on the grass.

We drink it out of the tap (and still here to talk about it), coffee, tea or to dilute a flavoured drink, it means though that the toilet cassette only lasts 3 days
