I have used both methods, the LDV had no onboard water when I got it, but being ex police it had a large extra water tank for high powered washers.
I extended the switch into the living area, and replaced the water pipes that went to the windscreen, with ones that fed the taps. Works brilliant, also have the waste pipe just dropping out the bottom of the van, and when in site I stick a waste drum underneath it.
I find the onboard water a lot easier, even fo rsimple things like stopping anywhere and being able to wash your hands etc.
The Fiat already had its own huge tank fitted, and waste tanks, but i just leave the drain undone unless I am on site.

We too have just got back from our first outing in our new van.
Warm as toast with a small oil filled radiator running off the hook up. Did not bother with filling the water tanks as we were only away for a night.
Excellent site too, well recommended on this site, at Glastonbury.
Any ideas for the next outing (27th december for 4 nights)? MUST be near a pub.

Thanks Borderacz, but I think we have decided to join some friends in either the New Forest or Devon.
Maybe next time.
