How to get water into my A Class

[SheikhLala]

As previously mentioned in another post from a galaxy far, far away, I was stressing about getting water in my motor home.
I’ve bought enough hose to connect continents together and so far all has been dandy. We’re at Sandringham this weekend and we are sited nowhere near any water source. My assumption of a fully serviced pitch meant water and electric, here it appears to be electric and WiFi.
A local caravan dealer sells aqua rolls and generic 12v pumps, can these be hashed together?
Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Fully serviced should mean water, drain, and leccy

Don't they have black waste as well?
I've only ever been on one fully serviced pitched, that was on an a Stellaplatz that had black as well.

So motorhomers can remain motorhomers on fully serviced pitches with a personal tap for their hose
but buy an aquaroll and pump and they need to be banished to a caravan?

Sounds like a good idea.

Carvynick campsite at Summercourt in Cornwall, is the only site I have ever found in the UK that had black waste on your pitch.
Lisbon camping in Portugal also had black on your pitch.

The water into issue depends on how you use the moho you have. A smaller outfit will need little water in so little water out. Bigger units have bigger capacity, and it's the same in some respects to caravan. Mrs B and I use our unit to the full. The shower is not an extra storage area it is there to be used. Also neither of us fancy walking across to a shower block to get washed. We use about 30 litres of water a day. So walking up and down with watering cans and buckets is not my idea of a holiday. When we rally with friends quite a number will not use the shower as its full of the paraphernalia that people carry and hardly use. We have the luxury of a big fresh water tank which has lasted 6 days on an off grid rally.

Pack8ng up and moving, filling tank and return8ng takes about 20 minutes. Watering cans. No, not for us.

Well I'm them that person that connects the 50mtr of hose together and runs it from the tap to the van to fill the tank every 4 days as I bloody hate moving the van

The chats at the Water Tap can be quite entertaining!

You'd say so but some just have a few elsan dotted about in my experience .

We like to have options, 10m blue hose, 14l watering can, 2 x 10l jerry cans as necessary (typically used for drinking water but repurposed if required).

Can’t see the point of having an ‘x amount litres‘ water tank on board a MH if you are going to cart around a water barrel and pump and treat it like a caravan!

 

[15edward]

You miss the flexibility then of either roaming or staying put
we use ours which ever way is called for

How big is the Pilote G732 fresh water tank? Maybe we can home in on if driving or walking trips to the tap suit.
Those of us without proper motorhome’s can keep our <75lt fresh water tank topped up with simple short sub 15min sessions of manual haulage trips to the tap & back.

All you need is a small van, tight pitch in the right location.

On one rally not allowed/couldn't use hosepipe, only allowed to fill containers, and do we like our showers, other people on site had water hogs and wastemaster, which made it so easy, so although didn't expect to use these things again in a motorhome (used to have a caravan long ago) went out bought these, plus ordered 12v power pack and pump from Amazon to pump the water into tank.

P.S.
bought two pumps, now use one pump to fill Screen Wash & anti Freeze into their respective tanks, as almost impossible before, but now so easy peasy.
