Hymer caravan has water tank

Boff, we dont use 40 l of water a day (nearer 20) even with showering...so an initial 45 l would last upto 3 days....

Ocsid, i only suggested using the MHSP if you happen to drive by it as you arrive, which, on most sites, you would....a 10 foot hose doesnt add much and, as i said above, the initial 45 l would give us 3 days supply...

our 110 l tank lasts 5 days incl showers or 10 days using site facs...

BB everyone is different. Last weekend we go through approximately 100l.  It is higher in the winter because the system needs to be refilled as we drain down.   There is no right or wrong answer just what works for you.

I am amazed at how little water some of you claim to use. If totally self-contained, we get through about 40L a day. You must be using paper plates.

"We" seem also to use a lot but I am convinced that is because only one of "us" gets the water and empties the waste 

Our 2012 Eriba Troll has onboard cold and hot water tanks. The cold tank also provides toilet flush water. We soon tired of lugging an aquaroll around and fill up the tanks on arrival using a watering can.  Once both tanks are full, so about 5 cans full, we have enough water to last about 6 nights.

Must say that we hadn't thought of using the motorhome filling point on site, but it certainly seems a good idea.

last week, five nights at Ludlow....

fill fresh with 110 ltr, plus hot water tank with 10 ltr so 120 ltr total.

used site showers as we were handy and they were really nice.

at end of break, fresh still 50% full so only used 55 ltrs.

thats around 11 a day...

dish washing, teeth and hand washing dont really use much water when only two on board.

2 quick showers (if using van) would bring this up to approx 20 per day...we're pretty confident that our 110 ltrs will last at least 5 days.

waste tank 40% full (40 ltr) so 15 ltr probably went down the toilet!

despite our low usage, we drink plenty of tea/coffee...

i guess its just how one uses/values the resources, our pals get through water like its going out of fashion....a full sink to wash a couple of cups, shower left running til hot water expires...then off to fill their tank....

we use aires when on a long journey in france/spain and so might be more resource conscious that others who are fully plumbed in... 

as has been said, no right/wrong way, just interesting that there can be such a wild variation in usage.

As seen we all do things differently.  I certainly don't think I would want to tow with a water tank full.  I find the hygeine thing quite important - I don't drink out of the aqua roll supply even though I keep it cleansed - my washing machine at home collects black stuff in the soap drawer so that warns me.  As yours isn't in the first flush of youth (nor is mine) the pipework would be a concern for me as well as the tank.  For drinking I use a supermarket 5L bottle and fill those at the site taps - or if those are too chlorinated buy drinking water. 

Pippa yes i use the 5litre bottles for drinking too , have never used hot water (in motorhomes) in past but am determined to learn the ins and outs of a ducks a.. Regarding this van lol : before i used site facilities and boiled a kettle ! Find the hot water and heating daunting so am off to clumber park and going to play house for a couple of days ......cant wait :) regards mrs bc ps might even try onboard shower !
