I agree with John and don't use plastic bags. If connected properly you should not get water in the plug connections. In 10 years camping I have never had a problem.

Glad to be of service Grimbo.

Having recently returned from a trip to Spain and France I encountered the famous Bandits around the Motorways of Barcelona. As has often been commented, the practice of trying by various means to encourage you to stop your car so they can "help you" and then rip you off is still continuing...

OH it is good to hear that about the weather. We are due in this area in about a week.It sounds a lot better that the cold winds here at home.

We travel up to 3 months per year, UK and abroad and always use Propane. NOTE From March 2008 Calor are introducing "Calor lite" lightweight cylinders which are interchangable with normal Propane cylinders. These are about HALF the weight of a normal 6K cylinder. See www.calorlite.co.uk

I wouldn't risk it. Anyway who wants to sleep where Lorry drivers have been using the road a a public toilet !! It may well be cheaper in the long run to use a site.

I have used a site at Mequinenza (open March 15th to Oct 15th). See Caravan Club Europe book. Between Zaragoza and Lerida, not too far from AP2 motorway OK for night halt only. Poorly signposted in village . Next to River.
