New Bailey, stowage question.

About to take delivery of a new caravan with a rear bathroom. Our previous van had a central one, and on travelling we used to put the Aquaroll and waste water container (in bags) in the shower. They were nice and snug there and close as possible to the
centre, over the wheel arches.

Where should we put them now? Do any of you with rear showers put them there? Don't want them rolling around, and not keen on just putting them on the floor. Any tips would be welcome!

    I have a U3 with a rear bathroom.

    I put the aquaroll in the shower.  The wastemaster could fit in there, but I tend to put it under one of the seats via the external hatch....is easier if you take the wheels/axle off.

    We wedge barrels and wastemaster between the front seats. Our wardrobe is in the back bathroom, so don't like to add any more to the weight there by adding the barrels too.

    We usually have them at the front at first but between sites in the car boot. I have never seen them as so heavy that they are a major problem.

    Between the front seats for us too, we put a groundsheet down to keep  the carpet clean.

    To save time, I used to carry my Aquaroll in the back of my tug, already containing water. But not when going to a site.

    We put the wastemaster in the front compartment and the Aquaroll underneath te fixed double bed.  It works for us.

    Aquarolls go in shower, joined by elastics in our Unicorn 3. Wastemaster in nearside locker.

    In boot of car with awning (1/3 of rear seat lowered!).  Hate having to step over them or move them when stopping for a cuppa!  Although light every gram helps to keep weight of caravan down.

    Mine go between the front seats and the awning on the floor over the axle.
