Caravan Water Tips

Would you like some caravan water tips to make your life just that little bit easier - we have a few ideas to help you. Keep reading to find out more ...

• An easy and cheap way to fill your Aquaroll - take a large plastic mineral bottle and cut off the base. You now have a funnel to fill your Aquaroll from the tap without splashing yourself.

• To keep an Aquaroll cool in the summer (and maybe keep it from freezing in the winter) is to wrap a car windscreen deflector (the foil kind) around it and use sticky tape to hold in place.

• To stop algae forming in your Aquaroll when in use, cover with a green bin bag. Don't use a black bag as this attracts heat and encourages algae growth!

• A great water tip to keep your Aquaroll insect-free and smelling fresh when not in use - place the foot end of a pair of tights over the opening and secure with an elastic band. This allows the air to circulate freely but no insect life can get in!

• When your Aquaroll needs topping up rather than completely re-filling, instead of rolling it all the way to and from the tap just top it up using a watering can.

• Use an ordinary chain and padlock to lock up your Aquaroll and Wastemaster to prevent them being stolen.

• Steradent tablets are a good way of cleaning your Aquaroll and are cheaper than proper Aquaroll cleaning material.

• If you use alot of water in your caravan, why not join two Aquarolls together? Better than running out of water when you are in the middle of a shower!

• When using site showers we always use flip-flops, which we keep permanently in the caravan. This way we avoid all those nasty foot infections you could pick up!
