The trouble is when you are on a site with the safari room up and the family staying and the hosepipe won't reach the tap. The watering can is not up to collecting enough water and there is no way to get rid of the grey without the aqua roll and waste hog.

Rarely stay on sites.

I understand that Lenny and we rarely do when we are abroad! Horses for courses!

Same situation for us . We try and get a serviced pitch and then we just use the collapz waste pipes and obviously hose is connected straight to the tap .The problem is that serviced pitches are not always available and also some sites like Bromyard Downs CAMC don’t have a motorhome service point (or serviced pitches ) . I understand why some people don’t want to carry a Wastemaster and Aquaroll but for me ,if we aren’t on a serviced pitch they ,are essential for our family

By contrast our most used and best bangs for buck device is a flexible builders trug - the sort of thing you get from garden centres . We use it to collect the dirty plates and stuff before washing , collecting grey waste (not with plates ) and only when I have enough rear height . Collecting fresh water which I can pour direct into the tank (if I can be arsed to use a hose ) and somewhere to store our wellies to keep the garage dry and clean. Trugs - you know it makes sense

I have been motorhoming for fifty years (the last thirty five of them full timing).

I have always carried at least one but never ever used it.

A fire extinguisher.

Ah………….but is it though?

I attempted to get an answer last night to such a question, but came there none!

Ahem ... I did reply ...

I'll check when I get home as I can't even remember what colour the ruddy thing is.

 

[Minxy]

Two awnings - bought a blow up one when we first got the pvc - never used it! Sold that, & bought a lightweight one - never used that one either! It might be still in the loft, or we may have sold that too!

You 'may' have sold your loft ... one sure way to tell is if you get a bit soggy when it rains!

I don't think I'd want to use it for fresh water after its been used for the other 'mucky' stuff!

A free standing satellite dish system I bought it some years ago and only tried it once and spent a frustrating afternoon trying to get a picture , I think it was called an easy find set ,it languishes in the garage if anybody wants it for a very small fee please contact me .

 

[Itsmcb]

All these people with windbreaks in their garages, they are impossible to buy at the moment unless you want a striped beach one. Stick them in the classifieds

See your one bucket and raise you one bucket. Never used either of them.

we use ours all the time. I like my little fenced off bit. Keeps my dogs and cat safe, allows them a bit of freedom to come in and out and protects me from the bloody wind. Did I tell you we were in cornwall before half term. Was the only thing left standing! But it is an Isabella.

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

Ahem ... I did reply ...

I am so sorry.
I am flitting between posts and sites.
Have you put it up for sale / auction / donation or whatever.
I am considering buying such a thing.
And possibly a free standing wind break, so if any others for sale, I am interested.
Seen nowt in the classifieds lately.

A TV, bought it 5 years ago. Turned it on to set it up. Used it to watch a sports event 3 years afterwards and not used it since. God only knows why I bought it in the first place. It’s not like we watch TV at home. What on earth made me think we would watch it whilst away I do not know.

Uncouth Northerners HOW DARE YOU !!!!! we are the salt of the earth and another thing WHATS wrong with brown sauce it's the only thing to have on a bacon butties NOT the poncey ketchup you SOUTHERNERS put on your sarnies

 

[Diggerdi]

I bought an iron for the motorhome - guess how much use that’s had

I've got an iron AND a table top ironing board. Used once, I think, in 4 years.

The tow bar. Was on the van when bought and never used. Although it would be used next week if i can convince HRH a TOAD would be worthwhile.

I'll have you know we real southerners have sliced tomato and mayonnaise in our bacon sandwiches.

Easier to clean than a watering can Or the inside of a hose pipe ?
