Hi All,

We are going on our first trip this weekend and almost organised although I've not done one thing, which seems a stupid question, but thought I'd ask.

The one thing I've not done is a water point pipe so when I go and fill the aquaroll I can connect my hosepipe to the external taps on the caravan site.

I've got waterpipe, but what connectors do I need to connect to the water point external taps.

 

Many thanks

Phil.

We too use the domestic waste pipe idea with a loop of elasticated cord which can be looped over the tap when the aquaroll is filling. So much easier than the flexible pipe with the rubber connector and never a problem of falling off due to high pressure water.

The wardens at one site were actually selling these

mines never fell off as if the pressure is to high you just turn the tap down to compensate. simples.

And if you forget to bring it, the wardens (at Cirencester anyway) will flog you one for £3.50! smile

I wonder if the buy them ready made or make them themselves?

I expect it’s a bit of enterprise by the warden. It only needs some lengths of pipe from B&Q and a few metres of cord. Good for him!

It's the same with TV hook up cables - buy a reel of cable and a box of fittings and bob's your uncle.
