Fully Serviced Pitches

[trucker]

Hi, can anyone let me know what extra kit I would need to use a fully seviced pitch, and is it woth buying this extra kit?

Our New van came with kit for these pitches last year.

A hose with fitting kit for taps and a built in pressure reducer (must have), so that your van id connected straight to the water. We also got a hose to run into drain.

Problem was that we found all but one site had fully serviced pitches full by the time we were able to book. The one "fully Seviced" site we used was in Eire and the drainage point was further than recomended distance, not a problem normally.

Being "plumbed in" we were able to use the vans shower with no worry about water level and of course I didn't have to haul the waste water!

Kevin, set this up myself a few years ago, I bought a

Torbeck water valve (side fitting) to fit into the side of my then watercarrier - I've got an Aquaroll with the valve set into the sidee opening cap now. A hosepipe with connector between inlet on Torbeck valve and water tap.

The simple process is that when cold water reaches the height of the valve the water stops - as in a toilet cistern. The submersible pump then takes water into the caravan in the normal manner and the simple system keeps the water topped.

For the waste water I bought some rigid domestic overfolw pipe 1" dia and a collection of straight and elbow fittings. I made a simple modification to the waste outlet which allows me to push the 1" pipe directly into the waste outlet of the caravan,

By joining lengths together I can position the end over the drain. I have a junior hacksaw to cut pipes as required for length. Finally I ensure a gentle slope on the wastepipe by packing it up with bits of stone, wood or whatever, to give water flow. This lot takes a few minutes to set up but as I never have to carry any clean or waste water it's well worth the effort. Total cost

Same as Tony on the aquaroll, I used the one they sell for the job. As for the waste water, I just got a t peice to get the 2 outlets to a single long flexible pipe. All got from the local caravan shop

I'm having trouble locating food quality water hose.

Where can I get it? How much should I expect to pay per metre?

Have you tried a plumber's merchant and I don't mean by the a B&Q or Homebase.

Failing that contact Aquaroll manufacturer and see if they sell it separately from the mains adaptor kit.

How do you connect the toilet cassette on a FULLY serviced pitch?

Or are they just part-serviced, ie electric, water and waste?

If it's for your aqua roll, http://www.riverswayleisure.com/

will sell you an extension for your side fitting adaptor. The price isn't much more than getting hold of it through none caravan agencies, and delivery is fast. Check it out anyway.

Hi Steve, I didn't realise that Aquaroll sold the side float unit until after I had made mine up using my original Torbeck valve, I just bought a replacement screw on cap and drilled through that - not being a cheapskate - but total cost
