The lure of a bargain and the thought of not spending money had my husband in trouble.....

He bought a bargain at a second hand stall recently, a small 29 litre Aquaroll complete with rolling handle. He was really chuffed with himself until the first time he tried to use it and found he couldn't get the pump through the hole at the top!!!!   He hadn't realised that either modern pumps have got bigger, or old Aquarolls had smaller screwtop filler holes!     Ever resourceful he found an old steel cup from a thermos in his shed just the right size to act as a bung, so he drilled a new hole in the top and shoved in his cup as a bung!  Sounds bizzare, but it seems to work.

wee tip for the aquaroll if you use one, make sure the side filler is very tight if not you will lose a load of water (guess who's wasnt recently)

You can often find aquarolls at car boots for about a fiver, if you keep your eye open

My last two outtings I have tied a steel rope like the ones you get for a bike covered in plastic, to chain both my aquaroll and waste master  to each leg of my van with a pad lock on each, I think £5 each from Netto , its a pain when we get other people thieving them, After my last trip I came back with 18 barrels Nudge nudge,any takers?

water hog is bigger at 50lt capacity and cheaper than an Aquarol
some times caravan dealers have secondhand ones for sale just sterilise them with Milton fluid
