We need a trolley to carry the water and waste to and from the caravan. Can anyone recommend a lightweight, collapsible trolley please?

would it not be easier to get an aquaroll and wastemaster, they already have wheels on (apart from the aquaroll, that just rolls on it's side). They are easy to use even for me

Whilst I cannot recommend anything specific, I can recommend something to definitely avoid using - one of those folding luggage trolleys. The wheels on them are far too small for anything other than a smoothly polished surface. I know, I've tried in the past and no matter how billiard table smooth the site may appear, it isn't if you use one of those! However, find one with bigger wheels and you might be ok. But don't use elastic bungees to secure the load, they'll just stretch and the heavy full container will rock about and fall off. Been there, done that.

I noticed my local Tesco had some folding trolleys when I was there a few days ago. I don't know how good they are or if other branches are selling them.

Could have been this one

We bought one from a garden centre. It looks quite similar to this one. I think it was about £30-£35. It is heavier than some other folding ones, but the reviews of light weight ones all had comments about how quickly they fell apart, or wheels came off.

Thank you all for your comments and recommendations. I have an Aquaroll and Wastemaster, but need something to transport the toilet cassette and on board water container if I use either of them as I can't manage heavy weights. I think the trolley recommended by RTS5 might do the job.

You can strap the toilet cassette tank on to the 'Wastemaster' with bungee cords, that's what the 2 lugs at the top and 2 at the bottom are for. That works on the same basis as a trolley but as mentioned previously, a trolley with small wheels is a waste of time because they bounce over the field which causes the waste tank to topple over and eventually ends up on the floor.

There is one on Screwfix Direct, product code: 68443 reduced from £29.99 down to £19.99. Looks a decent folding trolley.

We often camp where we have to carry all our stuff a good distance from the car and use this trolley:

Trolley

It is really strong and study, folds down to nothing and works really well.
