Hi everyone.

Just booked  a super pitch at Fallbarrow Park. We've never used a super pitch before. Do I need any new water  connection fittings?

Also does this mean that I dont need to take along my aquaroll and waste water container?

 

many thanks

 

Bernie

you can get a mains connection for your aquaroll as long as its the 40 litre bottle it goes into the side of the bottle you'll also need a longer piece of hose with a y connector piece for your waste to go directly into the drain its the only pitches we use

It will depend whether your caravan allows direct connection to the mains to fill an onboard tank. If not the solution suggested by Jo is likely the best option. When I am on a pitch with a water point I just use my hose to fill the aqauroll.

The Aquaroll type connection is a good choice in as much that if there is high pressure, like you encounter on some sites abroad, should anything go wrong the flood is on the outside of the van.

It happened to us in France last summer, the fitting came undone hence the warning. The water pressure seems much greater than in the UK.

I won't make that mistake again.
