what type are you drinking, you need to see if its one type or another doing that!


Yes and the wine you don't like you can donate to the next Craic meet, we don't mind suffering to help another fellow craicer :up:

Our watering can comes in very handy but in our downsizing efforts I wanted to carry something smaller, so bought this... :)

Very clear bucket with so many uses. Would be handy if it actually washed the MH.

More on this:

Received the watering can/bucket.

If you are interested in one, do not buy the combo unless you want a bucket as well. It is only 7 litres and the watering can on its own is 9 litres. Seems a great job though and well made.

Did you buy a two piece set, as in a separate watering can and bucket as opposed to the 2in1 (ie the watering can without the spout attached)?

I bought the 2 in 1, if you don't need a bucket buy the Watering can on its own as it is bigger an dbetter.

:up: thanks for that. It certainly looks like a neat bit of kit but I notice this review on Amazon of the watering can only version:

"You would think they were easy to assemble, but we have trouble getting the spout on. (It's not rocket science - I know!) We bought two for our motorhome - to ease the trips to the tap when arriving at a site, not having a convenient tap, and cutting down the journeys to and fro.. Difficult to describe - the material is robust, but they seem happier in the curled up position than in the open position. Not the easiest to fill from a tap, and when you're putting stuff back in the boot at the end of a holiday they're difficult to drain completely because of the twists and turns in the plastic material. Sorry I can't be more positive. I have other items like washing up collapsible bowls that do their relative job superbly. But the watering can? I am being generous with three stars"

I'm just wondering if the 2in1version is actually better as it seems to have a wider opening for filling.

Seen that review and choose to ignore it, all the other reviews were good and it is deffo not hard to screw the spout on. I would assume it is the same attachment as the single watering can.

Let me know how you get on, as I plan to order the watering can only one.

I agree with you on that. Its more the opening to fill (and dry) the thing that concerns me. In the 2in1 design the top is half open. The other half is splash guard. But when you look at the watering can only (it seems to be a newer design) it appears to have top lid/cover with only a small opening for filling.

It's amazing how much confusion and brain searching a bucket or watering can can create.

Not yet jack but I know it's +-+ and _to_ to keep it to 12volt otherwise I would end up with 24 volt I'm just fitting the batt box and venting it into the m/h box with two bits of 2in bendie pipe so I can also pull the cables through then seal the new box lid closed as I hope I won't need into it and keep any fumes into the m/ h box and out the box door and not into the m/h that's the plan

I bought a 750 Watt Electric Toaster in Tesco's as my grandson likes toast and what a purchase. Wish I had bought it years ago.
