[BERT AND ELSIE]

[Langtoftlad]

Are you that desperate for space?

 

[Flamenca]

BERT AND ELSIE No. I have a 11 litre rigid plastic watering can and store other things inside it. Bought it in France for about 5 Euros.

thanks

My watering can was £1. It's rectangular so takes less space than a round one.

 

[Paddywack]

No but it was worth £13.00 (thanks to whoever it was that flagged the offer up) Can

 

[David and Sally]

We buy collapsible water. Much easier and less space.

 

[Puddleduck]

I would say not worth £35. Wait until the end of the season when they come on sale.

We have a standard watering can and keep all the connectors and a hose inside it

My watering can is on wheels. I take that to the tap and fill it right up. Don't have to bother again for a week. Just an idea?

 

[Ivor Lock]

for many months we used a hosepipe, and, whilst emptying the waste tank, we filled the water tank. For drinking water we bought a plastic tank from the pound shop.This sat on the shower floor whilst in transit, and on a plastic box when on site.

eBay just now.

eBay just now.View attachment 323705

I wish that was around when we bought ours at full price

We don't use ours that much because we can easily access the internal cover of the water tank and top up with a 5 litre water bottle which we always carry anyway as we don't use the tank water for drinking.

They are very useful though when space is limited and I would certainly buy at the ebay price.

With a hose pipe presumably which takes up space

i considered one of these, but thought seven litres was a bit small, so bought an eleven litre oval shaped plastic watering can, not as bulky as a round one.

 

[Kannon Fodda]

I’m using that collapse thing. Recommended from another thread. Works well although you can’t quite fill it to brim but because the spout to can flexes it goes into the fill hole nicely. Couple with a collapsible big sized bucket and my feeble 60 litre tank is refilled in 3-4 trips.

We’ve used pretty much all options. Watering can, back and too with 5 litre water containers after having filled up initially. The best option we’ve got now is an eBay pump, with a water hog thing, given from a friend. Ended up costing very little, 12v extension cable, two 1 mtr hoses and the pump, under £25. What a pleasure to use!!!! I have mobility issues so when on my owMy advice would be think forward, is the flitting back and too with a watering can going to be acceptable in a few years time and found it really hard to carry 5 litre water containers numerous times. I can now just wheel the water hog thing then fill up. 40litres so just needed every few days. Good for filling up washing machine too. . Moving van for us isn’t an option once on site. My advice would be think forward, is the flitting back and too with a watering can going to be acceptable in a few years time

I use an ordinary 10L water container and one of these Amazon product ASIN B01M0LWBGW

 

[romany]

No not worth £35 I paid £12 a couple of years ago it was worth that price has been very useful

Although I have a watering can, mostly I fill up with a short hose around 2m. My water tank will last 4-5 days with showers and so the watering can is only used if staying in one place for longer.

I think we will have a hose, and will just get a cheap watering can for now.my brain is turning to mush, my DS says I over think stuff and I like to think it is being organised, i am guessing the only way to know is to put it to the test, that will happen next week our first trip.
sorted out all i can for now so fingers crossed, the dogs are sorted just need to stop them barking.
let the fun begin

We have one and find it very useful. Obviously didn't pay full price, I think we paid about £12 and have been using it for 5 or 6 years. In a PVC where space is at a premium I do think it's worth the money but otherwise I wouldn't bother. No way would I pay full price.

 

[sueandjohn]

We use a hose on arrival and départ and the collapse watering can for top ups . Works well for us . Bought at around £11 I think but I wouldn’t pay more ad they are frequently sold around £12

I would say not as there are other cheaper options. We always stay on sites for normally between two and four nights unless it is Keswick where you have to stay a min 5 nights during the summer (no problem there though it is great). This means we have to fill when parked up. I have used many different ways of topping up e.g. ASDA 2L & 5L water containers after drinking the water lol, 10L watering can, 25ft flexible hose. This season I have started using the whale pump that was supplied with the MoHo, dump it in the full watering can and it empties it in under a minute. So, yesterday, I bought a 25L water container which will now replace the watering can; so much easier to top up I have also bought a 100ft flexible hose because during our last outing (13 nights) I just reached the water tap on one site and was about 10ft short on another so I now think I have enough options to easily top up when on site. My fresh water tank holds 130L and we use about 40L/day; a couple of trips using the 25L and all is good. If we are close enough to a water tap then I will use the hose and refill after a few days. Good luck

We have a colapz watering can and find it very useful to fill water whilst on site.we to have limited space!

 

[Hymer 1961]

I wanted to save some space and can recommend The Friendly Swede collapsible buckets. I bought a couple and use one for washing the dogs with the outdoor portable shower, works a treat.

 

[BERT AND ELSIE]

I have brought the colapz and I am sure we will learn as we go along at least i hope so, thanks for all you replies and food for thought
