I have had all forms of camping accommodation when I had the caravan I used the equipment that was fitted in it, then when I went back to proper camping under canvas I used site facilities. The problem I find is that sites usually provide 2 or 3 sinks to wash up and these are to go between probably 150 pitches. So although its your right to use these sinks etc afterall you have paid your pitch fees like everyone else, please spare a thought for those who are also on holiday and who don't have the choice of where to wash their pots.


Yes we can use the sinks because we have paid for the privilege and after this condescending post we will use them all the time now instead of washing up in the van now and then. We have met some lovely people doing the washing up, just hope its not you.

Why was the original post above condescending? A bit sarcastic, maybe, but, on reading your original post, a similar thought - why not use your on-board facilities - came to mind.

No-one said you didn't have the right to use the dish-washing facilities (or, from another post, the camp kitchen), but just asked for a little consideration for those without on-board facilities. I don't think anyone would want to interfere with interaction with other campers of whatever unit.

I was a tad uncomfortable with your reply (above). In fairness, you may be unaware (as many are) of the issues that some tenters are facing, not least with the C&CC, but that is a separate issue.

I hope you find something suitable.

As we gave up tenting a long time ago for the luxuries of a caravan and would never go back and neither would we use the C&CC we are not aware of any issues with washing up.We use very good sites and the CC Club and have not come across any problems with either. Hope the OP finds a good trolley and carries on with their preferred way of caravanning.

Well all I wanted was a trolley to help me to take large pots and pans to the dishwashing area, as we tend to cook a proper meal using a slow cooker, grill pan, steamer and saucepans some of which are to large to wash in the caravan sink. Not sure why some people have to reply with comments not related to my question will they still be tenting or caravanning when approaching 80 ????
Thanks to the kind few that helped me with my request,and to the others **** ***

Well said, so often other's have to vent their feelings on a perfectly innocent question.
Anyway, here you go, it's a bit noisy on gravel though!!!!!!

,,comin' on 'ere, asking perfectly reasonable questions...you trouble maker, you!

Trolley wise, personally I'd want something with big-ish wheels, similar to that fishing type trolley that was posted by kennyboy', earlier in the thread

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kampa-AC0266-Wally-Folding-Trolley/dp/B007K7QYRE

Too small and on all but the smoothest of surface, you'll risk having to drag and scrape it along, like a sled...

Also with it sitting any box/tub higher from the ground, it'd also mean far less reaching/bending down.

Oh no!! Have just gone away from another forum, because of all the sniping and arguing, spoiling it for the kind and helpful others.
Having just joined you, please assure me this is not the shape of things to come, after reading comments on this thread. We all have different opinions and there is no need for it!
Apologies to OP and others for hijacking thread.
