How to put water in the van when on an aire

[ToBoldlyGo]

I deploy this tool that on an aire at le Treport someone said to me '.. ah l'arrosoir ..' and it's green, very simple and I fill in 9-ish litre trips, I quite like it. I've seen people with what look like 60-90k A classes go over to the aire service machine water dispeller doda (what is the proper name for this?) with a 1 litre bottled water water bottle so I'm really quite advanced by comparison. I'd like the alternative of using a hose though.

The bit that goes into the van is simple enough that can be a tapered cylindrically thing, it's the bit the aire end I'm not sure, I thought of a cut off bottom of a 2 litre coke bottile with a bungee to hold it on somehow but what do you use?

What's wrong with a hose pipe, some people try to make like as difficult as possible.

I think he is taking the pi** and talking about his watering can.
Why would you want 9 trips when you can do it in one with a hose. ?

Might need a long hose if you don't want to move the van

Yes but for various reasons moving the van may not be desired.

When we are on our travels in the PVC we always carry a 5 litre container of drinking water, we don't drink the water from the tank and I know many do but we don't, as our PVC has an accessible inside tank filler one of us,guess which, tops up via this when no hose is attached to the tap.

This also saves queuing for the tap when others are taking forever to fill up their massive tanks and depositing many days worth of other waste after freeloading

Collapsible watering cans are also available for space limited PVC owners.

I use two large watering cans 95%of the time. Always fill up when leaving home,so just topping up on sites/Aires.

You are taking this thread far too seriously.

I carry an 11litre watering can (obv).. plus hosepipe with a selection of connectors, I also carry an empty 25litre water container (and a small 12v submersible pump) that fits on a fold flat thingie with wheels that can also be used to carry the cassette as well, I never fancy driving across to the water/waste unless leaving a site/aire.

I have never stayed more than 2 nights on an aire so just fill up when leaving with a hose. We usually do fill a couple of 2l bottles for tablet taking.

Has anybody worked out what the OP is saying?

I want an easy life.... I carry loads of extendable hoses.... there’s not a tap I can’t reach..?

Bet you can't reach our yard tap - we live in Poland.

 

[Allanm]

We use a hose pipe.
On the rare occasions we need water and I don’t feel like moving, I have a 15 litre watering can that I can use but wouldn’t dream of more than one or two trips with it!
In the winter when bournes can be frozen, we always carry 25 litres in a plastic carrier

I used to carry a couple of hose pipes and a watering can ( an idea thanks to scotjimland when he had his RV).
