This may seem a stupid question but the wife and i are new to owning a caravan , id like to hook to mains water and was wondering how long a hose i would need to get to fit my bailey caravan. we've not been on a site yet so have no idea.
Many thanks Paul

We regularly use mains water hook-up and grey water disposal in the UK, France, Spain and Portugal. We find an Aquaroll fitted with a float valve works perfectly and is fail safe, so our caravan system is never exposed to accidental pressure from a relief valve failure. An aquaroll is always handy if for some reason you cannot hook up to mains water. We have a 15m and a spare 10m collapsible ribbon supply hose on two reels. These do not take a lot of space and are light in weight. I always carry a box of various combinations of Hozelock fittings including tap splitters to cover various types of pitch fittings,
For grey water we have a Y fitting from the caravan outlets with grey corrugated drainage pipe. This goes into a single grey waste pipe about 10m long into the disposal point. This is sometimes a bit short so we carry a 10m extension with a simple push-on connector. Carry a spare connector they are easily lost. Again this pipe is very light and easy to store. I always carry electrical zip tidies for keeping cables and hoses under control.
Peter.
