Campsite water hose and connectors

You will come across a sorts or taps, You can get flat water hose from most camper suppliers, or ordinary water hose about 10mtrs, and got to the hardware and get a comby set of garden hose adaptors, including the rubber push on type with the thumb screw jubilee clip.
If you have the space, a lot on people carry a watering can, for when your set up for a while and don't want to move the van to get water,

If there is a hose attached, make sure you run it off a bit, especially if the weather is hot, bring sterilsing wipes to give the end a good clean, you will be horrified to see what people do with fixed hoses.

Get a set of Hozelock adaptors. This is the screw on adaptor, the white bit converts it to a smaller thread size. Don't lose the rubber washers.



Get both sizes of kitchen tap adaptor.



I carry a length of hose as well. Make sure any hose you carry is clean an dry after each trip, legonaires disease lurks in wet stored hoses. I have a 10m lenght I bought from Amazon.

Carry some way of filling your tank without driving to the fill point.

I would go with the advice from Pirahna (post #6)
I never trust the hoses at filling points as you never know what contaminants may lurk inside, also some are ordinary garden hoses that can taint the water with a plastic taste after a while as they start to break down. It's best to have your own food-grade hose, like the Amazon one mentioned.
Disregard the above if you never intend to drink the water from the onboard tank

If you do get a long hose cut it one-third/two-thirds so you have a choice of three different lengths depending on the distance from the tap, that means you only have to take out the long bit or the two joined together if you are a distance from the tap.

That's what I have and 95% of the time the short bit does the job.

When I'm going away and likely to be on a campsite pitch for an extended period I bring a 25 litre drum and a small submersible pump so I don't need to move the mh to a service bay. If there isn't a grey water drain on the pitch I use the cassette to transfer the grey water. If there is a grey water drain I use a length of the grey flexible grey water pipe commonly used on caravans to connect directly to the drain.
I usually use bottled water for drinking, you can buy an eight litre bottle for less than €2, but use the tank water for everything else including making tea and coffee.

This post answered my next question for me. Thanks for the tips. It's a great resource having people who have done all this before.

Randomly in France and at some marinas I have needed a male fitting like this one. https://www.handyhardware.ie/H…Y4QAvD_BwE
For my grey I use a folding bucket 10 or 12 ltr capacity as it takes up less room than a container, the bucket is also useful for washing the van, where permitted.
