[JCNUFC1991]

Evening all!

Just back from our second weekend away in the caravan, complete newbies so completely unaware of what’s available to make life easier when touring.

Connected the aqua roll up yesterday but we were on a fully serviced pitch and I thought “wouldn’t it be a good idea if there was something you could use to connect the caravan directly into the water tap?!”

Fast forward to today when I found out that there is such a thing and that it’s also possible to connect the grey waste on a fully serviced pitch in a way that stops me from needing the wastemaster.

Both would have saved some time during our stay.

Anyone have any other suggestions to handy things you’ve bought or other ways of doing things?

Never had any issues with the shower yet touch wood and the only thing we’ve needed a USB port for would be our phones but we’ve got a wireless charger inside the caravan so all good!

Thanks for the suggestions

I used Milenco ones but there are other makes very similar such as Carastack.

If you can find a pair of Bebbington Leg Extenders they are brilliant but the company no longer make them. But occasionally they pop up on EBay.

stack a pads - any good

Hi we have booked a site which is fairly unlevel. To assist in levelling the van front to back we need to put something under the legs to add extra hight. My question, has anybody used stack a pads? sold in blocks of 4 I think by pyramid. Are they stong enough? How high can you stack them...

We have four of these blocks even though er have self levelling and they have saved our bacon on more than one occasion. HERE.

Just what I need. To easy to knock out mixture leveler while using toilet. Unplanned showers aren't fun.

A card holder on an extending arm. Invaluable if, like us, you have a card entry system to storage. Also handy if you use the M6 toll or when not towing and using pay on exit car parks

If you use serviced pitches then this is handy. It allows you to have your aqua roll feed permanently attached but still allow you to fill water bottles or containers at the tap.
