Where do you get yours (water)

[scally]

and never load to the upper Plimsoll line unless you know what seas are going to be sailed in? (IF I remember correctly?? )

A good first mate can bend it a bit lol

 

[The Old Man]

need suggestions,

I've found that many Morrisons Supermarket Petrol Stations have an outside tap woth standad fittings.

Never been refused when I've asked.

 

[P Jones]

First stop is a pub car park, also doesn't have outside water option.....

Worst case we will have enough for tea and a morning wash

i have been to sainsberrys garage and got water and asda but not all have water to get, no water no fuel . ok. pj.

 

[Puddleduck]

No,but they do have a sink with a tap over it,from which you can fill your two watering cans.
Other than that try cemeteries

Leave some £s for the staff tea fund or a pack of biscuits.

I have a Swift Bolero which has an external 12Volt accessory socket beside the water tank inlet and I travel with a Caravanner’s Aqua Roll & 12 Volts water pump, and Aqua Roll short fill up hose pipe (this has a universal rubber tap adaptor on one end which fits any type of tap be it bib or hand basin tap) which I locate in the Shower, on the shower tray, for transit when moving - I also travel with a number of sections of hose pipe which can be joined together to make one very long hose pipe (these travel o top of the Gaslow gas bottles in the gas bottle locker).
So either way I can refill my water tank if I stay on a site for a number of days without moving our Motorhome if the Awning is in use.

I also have the ‘Flush’ which shows the location of Public Toilets which usually have a bib tap for floor cleaning.
Hope you find this helpful.

Ok, so van out of storage, all good and started perfectly.

Now, due to current house, can't get on the drive (hence storage) and can not park out on road (to busy and on junction)

Need to get water, thought when I fuel up I will use garage water (don't drink from tank) and garage had no water point just air!!!

Due to head off tomorrow (van back at storage after visit to garage), need suggestions, don't really want to garage hop until I find somewhere, any ideas? Storage do not have a water point / tap......

Park up briefly in front of your house or anywhere else with a tap and fill with a watering can. If will take you five minutes to half fill with 5 loads with a 10 litre watering can. First World problems.

I have a 20 litre water carrier for top up once on a site if longer than a few days, it’s very heavy if you fill it I suggest smaller carrier or half fill carrier.

 

[Flook]

We fill two 5ltr Tesco water bottles and use them to fill the kettle for tea or coffee, also can use to partially fill the wash bowl etc and flush the loo, during our stops along the way to our destination. Then we fill up the tank and the water bottles and use the bottled water for drinks.

 

[cyberyacht]

I've got a 20L plastic jerrycan but 15L is as much as I can lift to the filler. Now have two 10L in recognition of my advancing years.

No idea, not that it matters.
The only connection I can come up with at short notice is
"Water water everywhere and nor any drop to drink."

I quite enjoy it when threads sometimes take an unusual and meandering course once the main subject has been dealt with.
You never know what will crop up.

Particularly when you post a provactive and insulting one about the Union Flag!

Hmmm, not even remotely connected to getting water, but I'm sure you meant well by flagging it up.

But relevant to your specific 'meandering' posting.

The standard mixture of measurements are:

Metric (Usually for lengths and widths)
Feet and inches for drafts
Cubic feet for volume
Metric tonnes per cubic yard for stowage
Liquid volume measured in American Barrels
Specific gravity of oil measured in Barrels at Fahrenheit
Deadweight measured in Metric Tonnes
Lightweight measured in Long Tons
Gross and Nett tonnage measured in Medieval wine Tuns, except for the Panama Canal which measured in American Short tons and the Suez Canal which measured in Metric Tonnes.

Height of lighthouses in feet above MHW.............water depths in fathoms..........................

I've got a paltry 90 litre water tank on the Bessacarr 599 and recently spent a small fortune on Victron lithium battery and solar upgrades, so I can stay off-grid for a while. The mitigating factor now is water and the toilet. I've just bought the below to solve the water problem and I may buy a second toilet cassette for the toilet issue.

They are great and collapse to a small size.

I have a 90 litre underslung tank for fresh water, which we only use for washing, showering and washing up.

For drinking water, we have separate tap fed by a 15 litre wide mouth container with a removable submersible pump. That way it’s always fresh, can be carried out to top up from a tap or if caught out topped up with bottled water.

I’d really not appreciate drinking from a large underslung tank even if filtered.

I stopped at hilton park services and used the water hose to fill up. Quite surprising how quick it ran, and the added benefit was the lever that you press and hold to get water fitted snuggly in my water inlet "jammed" in, so it stayed running while i meandered about.
the auto retract did try and pull it out the odd time tho, so a quick cloth rammed in that solved that one
