[OldCodger]

What The (exepletive deleted) do folks use to fill the washer bottle ? I dont think I can hiot the filler cap with the hose!

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

This is a two part answer Ian

1. you need to drive the van down the A1, park it in my drive, transfer the personal effects over then drive mine home. We can sort the paperwork later
2. Having got a van that you understand ( 3 questions in 1 day?) then you need one of these. The rest should be obvious

As they say in the American Express adverts, That’ll do nicely... But Mrs Codger says she thinks I need a longer one...

Funster Bear told Virgin that’s your standard - and that there is an element of marketing hype.

You need one o these fella, under a fiver Wilko maybe! Halfrauds for sure.
If you need to ask its called a "Cranked Funnel"

Water usually, washer antifreeze in winter.

Mrs Codger also says I’m already cranky enough

Thanks. Next time I can get to wilko I’ll take a look. Queue for our local one was longer than the queue for Sainsbury’s on Saturday

Our Mercedes eura mobil a class had a lengh of pipe clipped under the bonnet, with a bend on each end, one up one down, the job was easy, ? and an easy job to knock one up. ? Bob.

 

[OldCodger]

I have something like that in the Garage on the MH. I wondered what it was for. Thought it was something to do with the canopy.

I’ll take another look. Mine is white powder coated (Painted) is that likely to be it?

Thank You

I have a funnel with a flexible hose. This unscrews and is the right size to fit most 5L washer fluid bottles. Still a bit of a fiddle but possible. It holds about a gallon so doesnt need filling often.

Ours was plastic pipe probably about 1" because it has to go inside the washer bottle. ? Bob.

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

Wilko are online and deliver

Ok this is metal. It may be dual purpose!

 

[OldCodger]

Wilko are online and deliver

So they are! £3 each but £5 devilry (and out of stock!)

 

[JohnJan]

A funnel from your kitchen and a piece of garden hose and pour slowly!

I just use an ADBLU tube it has flexy end and if you put an electricians tie in a loop under the bonnet you can leave it hanging in there next to the filler

 

[OldCodger]

It’s such a perfect fit I think it must be the intended use!

 

[bobandjanie]

Yes ? it's made for the job. ? Bob.

 

[OldCodger]

It is so well made and was stowed with the awning poles that I thought it was part of that. If any thing had been provided I would have expected a plastic tube as you described!

Anyway thank you bobandjanie for the pointer it answered my question perfectly.
