I have owned  2 vans with on board  tanks , Hymer and Fendt but found the Hymer much more flexible having both options i.e onboard or outside tank  switchable. The onboard tank was useful  for short stops or tea breaks but when we had serviced pitches I used the supplied water container with a float valve I had fitted myself. The Fendt could only  be used from the onboard tank and needed filling from a smaller water carrier such as a watering can or a hose if on a serviced pitch. This is very common with continental vans as most users use site facilities  (as we do) and need much less water than some British caravanners who are wedded to the Aquaroll and Wastemaster. 

Write your comments here...So what is wrong in being wedded to Wastemaster or Aquaroll ?.If it works well for the holiday and the person, then as far as I can see that is the answer. If a person wants to walk up and down the site with a little watering can so beit.Some people take washing machines on holiday ( we don't) but that does'nt make them wrong.

I dont want to transport the Aquaroll  and even less a huge Wastemaster and we  have learned ot live with containers that will travel in the gas locker and since our water consumption is a fraction  of that used by some we dont need them. BTW We have a washing machine, glad you approveWinking

BB I believe in keeping the Grey Matter active,but do you go on holiday to register statistics or enjoy yourself?.How can the disposal of grey water in the right place whether the container is full or not be a problem?.If something needs filling I fill it ,if it needs emptying I empty it,simple solution. Howerever I have told SWMBO of your concern over water use................she has promised to drink Whisky neat now!.  Wink
