That's double most people's payload in water, pity you don't have a black tank as you could have hit 1tonne.

If I had done the build spec I would have left the underseat tank out I am going to have it removed, the big tank was termed a jet wash tank and has a proper jet wash tap fitting on the outside, you get whats there when you buy used allthough a good comment

One 25 ltr plastic jerry can for getting fresh water, which we the pump into the tank using a whale 12v electric pump (£10) attached to a short length of blue hygenic hose.
And a waste hog into which we can de-cant the contents of our toilet cassette and extend our wild camping stays to double the time. And a small bucket to get rid of our "grey" water.
We also have a small trolley purchased in a chinese bazaar , which will carry the 25ltr J/can OR the toilet cassette (held on with a bungee.) Some times the supply can be a bit far to carry 25Kg.

DO NOT SACRIFICE WATER FOR WINE - BEGINNERS ERROR

I can recommend a nice Pinot to shower in if required !

We use the 20L collapsible water carrier or a couple of the 5L rigid ones to keep the fresh water tank topped up (along with the funnel) most of the time but as our tank is 100L if it gets pretty empty it's much easier to top up with a hose ... I've got a long one and a short one (haven't I @suavecarve ), it's also less tiring. As we have a PVC I can store the hoses quite easily but a large watering can would be more difficult.

Wheres the boss of this site ? Is it jim ? Somebody link him to this thread.

@Minxy Girl has been showing pornographic photographs of hosepipes and accessories (which i didnt find offensive btw) but now she is trying to become the EL James of hosepipes an writing in a provocative manner "tanked up" "Funnel" etc, she is even discussing length and PVC ! I genuinely have no idea what she is on about when she is talking about her large watering can !

I had considered getting one of these but they look just so ..... well .... naughty especially when they expand although the retraction is very funny!

@Minxy Girl the retraction is a natural reaction, cant be helped, and it is not funny to laugh at it ! I feel therapy coming

I am already in possession in one of those. Envious ?

Please accept my apology .... it must be very distressing when it shrinks after use ... can't be nice to be constantly reminded of your shortcomings etc ... I promise not to post any more 'upsetting' hose photos ...

The expanding hoses are very practical in terms of space taken and lightness. You need a procedure for disconnection if you don’t want it shooting up your sleeve and take care not to step on the thing or you’re likely to end up with a sprinkler.

Goodness knows what grade of rubber is within, but we’ve not noticed any harm (yet).

Do you not have fresh and waste-water tanks on board? Should last you for about five days after which I'm sure you can get to a water point and or grey waste drain. Water hose is obviously a must and a watering can to top up in an emergency. No point carrying loads of expensive and unnecessary gear. Have a good time.

5 days be buggered, I must have a hole in mine

 

[Huwmari]

Hole in your what?

With a fresh water tank & a grey water tank who needs an aquaroll & wastemaster they're just a waste of space.
We have a long and a short hose (short hose is ideal on Aires in France)
And we have a bucket, we also have a section of large bore hose to empty grey in case we can't get close enough to grey drain!
Aquaroll & wastemasters are for caravans!

Hear hear!

Bought ours fr

@Minxy Girl Mel where could i get one of them collapsible buckets that you linked the pics above

Bought ours from B&M a while ago, blue or red, we use ours to collect grey water in.

We also use lie flat hose and/or watering can for fresh water, and a bucket or drive over for grey waste.

Space, (and weight) is too precious to take up with what we believe to be unnecessary items.

Used to carry both when we had a Caravan.

@Huwmari i was referring to my water tank, don't think we've ever managed to last 5 days

Hi Dave, the fresh water tank holds 127 litres and, showering every other day, washing out small items of clothing every other day and washing up once a day we can last five days if we have to.

Over the decades that I have spent living full time in a van, I have had (and used) a wide range of devices for pouring water into my fresh water tanks.

Hoses of different lengths with different tap fittings, fold flat, wind up hoses in cassettes, squashed flat buckets, containers with pump systems to transfer the water, funnels, both bought and home made out of squeezy bottles and so on and so forth.

After all these years and years, I have finally settled on my current method which gets water into my van with no bother and under every situation I have ever come across.

I use a 13 litre watering can.

(I also use it to water plants.)

There speaks the voice of experience why over complicate things ?
We do the same plus have a collapsible hose and a bucket incase its more convenient , ok easier

 

[Pia]

hi all looking to purchase new carriers for fresh water and grey waste , looking aquaroll but have seen smart waste carriers on eBay , look identical !!
Anyone used or has them?
Robert

we've just sold an aquaroll yesterday for £15 ...still have the wastmaster for sale at £15.

 

[SuperMike]

For waste water, I carry a Wastemaster, for fresh water, I carry a lot of hose. I don't do moving just to empty/fill, and it takes a bit of time to fill 85gal with a watering can.
