I really wish I could get a shower from one aquaroll but I always have to send my husband to do a refill half way through. I have really long, thick hair that needs a lot of rinsing to get the shampoo out and then it needs conditioner to stop it being a tangled mess which also takes a lot of rinsing so basically, I need two aquarolls worth of water if we don’t have a serviced pitch. I really wish that sites had more serviced pitches.

When taking a shower in the van, we switch the shower on and off so as not to waste water while we are lathering up, but every time we switch the shower back on, we get a split second of scalding hot water before it returns to the temperature that we’ve set. We now just turn the shower away from our body for that split second and then continue as normal but it is a nuisance as occasionally my husband forgets and there is a bit of a yelp from the washroom!

We make sure one of our aquarolls is full before having a shower! Wife gets cross when it stops mid rinse!
Fitness task is refilling, emptying wastemaster and loo!

We used to have the problem with the water being scalding for a second after switching the shower off then back on again, but eventually found a post on another forum which enabled us to fix the problem. It may not apply to all with this difficulty, but our 2014 production caravan was fitted with a Whale ic pump controller system. After contacting Whale to talk about the issue, they sent a new ic controller unit (FOC) which fully resolved the issue. I suspect that there might have been a problem with the electronics in the ic controllers at that time and for anyone experiencing this difficulty with caravans of a similar age this could be worth investigating.

i also have long hair - waist length, when in the caravan i dont have a problem rinsing it as i get it lathered and then squeeze as much of the suds out as i can with my hands, quick wet and again squeeze it out, i keep doing that usually takes about 6 times, and then i use spray in conditioner that i can leave in so saves on the rinsing/ amount of water i use and both of us can manage out of one barrel doing that
