The BIG Change!

This is a good example of how we do things differently.

PD said to refill/top up which implies filling from empty as well as topping up.

I could not carry a full 10ltr container these days and would not attempt to do so. To me, the whole point of a MH is to use it and move off site - making a stop at the MHSP on rhe way. Leaving the van pitched and using water containers was what we did with a caravan and, to my mind, negates the benefit of a MH.

Horses for courses, eh?

Now we have a motorhome with a standard water filling point I also use a 10lt watering can to top up at regular intervals. Our previous motorhome had an Aquasource connector where you can use an Aquaroll which was quite convenient on site but was more storage on the move. We always travel with at least half a tank of water so it's not so onerous to top up with the watering can, and good exercise!!!!

As to levelling I couldn't get on the wedge type leverelers. I made my own flat boards out of scaffold planks which nest together. If I am on a standard Club site I will often look for a hardstanding pitch which has a slightly rearward slope. Most Fiat/Peugeot based motorhomes are slightly nose down so I find a pitch that slopes backwards gives me a level van without other aids.

Depends how big a tank you have, I carry two 10 litre ones TW, tops up 20 litres a time and is easier to carry.

 ... Moving the van once pitched is anathema to me.

but isn't that the opposite of what a motorhome is for? 🤷‍♂️

how high is the fill point on your MH? I hope it's not too high to be lifting 20kg .... unless you're built like Eddie Hall 😉

Not easier for me, PD. I could not do it.

I'm like GdJ, only carry them for emergencies. I have ample water storage for up to 5 days. The most use they get is usually when I have one day or a few hours left on site and the level is getting low. Rather than move off pitch it is easier to put 20 litres in to insure I have water for the last few hours on site.

I find it hard to understand why people find it such a chore to fill or empty water containers i.e Aqua roll or Wastemaster. I...... like many others I have been doing it for years it is a 5 minute job that has to be done when needed, like the emptying of a toilet.  It has to be done like many other things, so just get on with it. I would think that if compared to other jobs we do like cleaning Barbeques or washing up it would pale into insignificance.

It's good to hear you're still physically able to do these things, ADP.  I'm sure many of us wish we were as lucky and able to "just get on with it".

Your opinion of lucky is totally different to mine Tinman as are many of your opinion's they differ .
