what is the best funnel for filling an autotrail fiat apache motorhome

 

[Cal54]

I would highly recommend the ones made by PaulandChrissy as advertised in the classifieds on this forum. Myself and several friends have them and they are a great fit.

Thanks for your help

We don't have the same van but have found a universal water filler which hasn't failed us or others - yet

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

As above,very versatile.

I used the same on my Autotrail for years.now using in on the Burstner. Best 40p I spent on the van

Not sure on the size 80mm seems a bit big..

Is yours a late AutoTrail with this type of filler.

Tried one of them last year borrowed off another Funster, what a pain, it's so much quicker with a bucket & funnel.

Excellent option. You can’t beat a good old watering can. Tried and tested for many years.
Some people though like to use those collapsible buckets (including me) that take up less room. That’s where my little funnel works well.

I always managed to wet myself when using a bucket

Is that the strain of carrying the bucket? Kind of a ‘wee’ incontinence wee!

I can print something to help with that.

I have the collapsible sort with my own adaption, preferable to a funnel as the additional pipe allows for a full bucket from the tap without overspill through the shortish spout provided. 16mm food grade pipe from a pond shop, about a foot long and it curls up with the collapsed bucket and then goes easily into the filler hole.

We carry 180 foot of hose in sections. If I still can't reach a tap I use 2 x 10 litre watering cans.

 

[Stealaway]

I have one of these with a piece of flexible hose pushed over the spout.
Because its flat sided I can hold it against the body while I pour water in it, usually from a 5 litre bottle.

No 80mm is the size to fit in the cap recess on my Hymer

 

[Spriddler]

I use one of these and can fill (have to fill) one-handed. £4 from Halfords.

 

[Bdeners]

The one advertised by PaulandChrissy is superb, tried different ones and without doubt that one is the best, highly recommended.

I use to do the same as Spriddler but I just love the fit of the PaulandChrissy funnel. It’s neat, small and easy to store .

 

[lynnian]

I use one of these

Fits nicely in the inlet of my Ace . fill with a 10ltr barrel never fallen off unlike the old water bottle I used to use

 

[PaulandChrissy]

Glad you all like my funnels everyone. . I make lots of different versions now. They fit Fiamma, Fap, Whale, and numerous other makes of filler. Even the German vans that have the tank filler behind a locker door.
Thanks for the kind comments. PaulandChrissy

I used similar to this, had it years, think I got ours off ebay.

Only problem is you need a hand to hold it, leaving you only one hand for your bucket. Unless you tie it up with string.

If you push it into the hole, it supports itself, no need to hold it, at least it has done on my vans

Inspired by Manic I went to a well known diy store and got one of these. It’s the end of a downspout. the flared end fits really snuggly round the water filler. Almost purpose made! Only looses a very small amount of water that didn’t make it down the filler tube when removing it. i haven’t bothered with a breather tube. Works great. Thanks Manic!

I only put a breather tube in because if I pour water in to fast it spits back.
