First trip tomorrow! Any must-have advice???

It defies belief that they'd use that system, ADP. Not that I'm doubting what you say.

Write your comments here...Agreed

Another draw back would be when its frosty and you have taken the pump in - no flushing overnight   Mind you its not hard to have a container with a bit of flush fluid in it - I use for stops en route too. 

We did not regard it as a silly system, we found it rather good, but I suppose it depends on what you are used to.

We never gave any thoughy to the possibility that contamination could occur, I find it difficult to believe that Thetford would market a product that was dangerous to health.

From what BB has said, it seems many MHs have no header tank and use direct from their fresh water tank......how is that any different in terms of contamination risk  to using from an Aquaroll?

TW, that silly system cost me a fiver.When my sister told me that she had that system on he Swift Challenger 1998 van,I did not accept it and said they had not looked at the system properly and bet her a fiver,only to find that she was right.They found out by trying to add a flushing agent and could not find out how to add it. They did give me the fluid that they could not use.

It does catch people out, when we sold on our van back in 2008 we did give the new owners a complete run down on how everything worked, and passed on the Handbook.

A couple of weeks later, late on a Friday night, we got a call from them wondering how/where to add "the pink".

Oh - and we discovered the need for caravan slippers - nothing worse than soggy socks.

Do what the majority of caravnners do and get yourselves a pair of Crocs each!! Whatever anyone else says they're great for those short trips out from the van.

Did just that - but not quite Crocs - Lidl was doing gardening clogs for a fiver a pair - perfect

Silvervapour if you are going to sleep in two single beds then i can highly recomend the duvalay system . Its very comfortable and easy to strip the covers off and launder so keeping the bedding fresh weve got them and think they are very good best regards mrs bc :)

Thanks for the advice mrs bc - had a look and now I want those! Other posts on here seem to rate them very highly and they do look like they would be the perfect solution for us. A good compromise beteween comfort and convenience. I like the idea of summer and/or winter weight for the quilt part - we're planning on spending a bit of time in France over the summer, and hoping for some decent weather here too.

Only drawback is the price - certainly steep, but a good night's sleep is priceless, and if they are good quality they should last

Some caravans do the same and it isn't any different which was why I said...

"There is a school of thought that suggests it's possible, although unlikely, for contamination to travel from the toilet back into the flushing system and thence into the water container/tank."

Spotted them today when we were in the shop. I've a pair of those too at home. They are not as comfortable as the genuine arcticle, but will certainly do the job.

You are right about the price of Duvalay!  I went for Dunelm's 3 in one Duvet - not pricey - there is one for Summer - one for Autumn and they pop together to make a Winter one.  So you only need to carry what is appropriate to the season - not sure Duvalay would suit me - I like to sleep in a pretty cool caravan - and it doesn't suit my pocket that's for sure!
