I use one of those bendy bucket things with a handle on the top, looks like shopping bag when you pull the handles together, and only needs one hand to carry, unlike a crate or bowl. something like this I got it from instore/poundstretcher.

That looks brilliant and it will probably squish into a gap in the trailer/car better than the washing up dish  I will have to get one of those.

I use a mop bucket <new!!> and then if I need hot water back at the pitch to clean the cooker etc I can transport it in the bucket.

I just use an ordinary bucket for that...I've got two, one for toilet use and one for cleaning jobs/dirty clothes/lugging the bottles to the recycling/soaking the mussels in when we go to France. Two identical buckets (one with a "T" scratched on it, to identify it) nest inside one another and take up very little more space than a single.  And the gas bottle fits inside them too.

Incidentally you can get quite small washing up bowls...they sell them in camping shops at a ridiculous price, but I've always found them in supermarkets for not a lot. My last set of buckets and matching washing up bowl came from Sainsburys...you want the bowl to be big enough to slot the buckets into, but small enough to fit into the folding crate plus the bucket needs to be able to hold the gas bottle. Sainsbury had the lot, including the coordinating folding crates, lol.

Well we generally go and do the washing up together, sometimes I have to admit my husband goes on his own if there are just a few things and I have something else to sort out. 

I will use the washing up sinks if they are nice! We have a wash stand though which we take to sites that don't have great washing up sinks. Nothing worse than dirty washing sinks and i am sorry but i am not going to clean some other dirty buggers mess up before i have to clean my own!

Never throw my dirty water in a bush though!!
