Hi, being lazy, I want to rock up to a fully serviceable pitch hook up the power supply and then the 'Mains Cold Water' I have a Kontiki 665 (05 plate) anybody got any ideals or info on any equipment that i might need?

Thanks Mike.. 

Probably a £30 a night service pitch then eh!     

Me being a tight wad would never pay for service pitches, motorhomes never need them, if they do, might as well get a caravan. But every one is different, if its your choice, good luck.

Thanks everybody for ideals, i'm going to buy a new screw cap for my fresh water tank and try to fit a small vertical AQT 15WT plastic ball valve ( made by PVL Ltd)  into the cap then run a small piece of hose to out side ready to connect to a water tap, I will let you know how I get on. Kiev 4 of us in the camper even if we pay £30 per night it's only £7.50 each it's a gift and this conversion would save so much hassel.

Thanks everyone for your help Mike..

Re above concerns of ballvalve shakiing to bits.

Im a domestic plumber, not a motorhome plumber but I see no reason why its not easy enough to fit a brass valve to the water tank.These are about a fiver and wont get shaken to bits ( get a part 1 brass side entry ballvalve)

The reason that I have never done this is that I dont mind wedging a hose pipe in my filler cap, turning the water on and waiting 5 minutes for it to fill,although sometimes its a faff getting it to stay in. This thread has given me the idea of buying a cheapo (£2) plastic flexible petrol cap and drilling a hole in the middle to put the hose through tightly. I`ll post back if it works well.
