    No problem at all with that, as long as you are not blocking it for motorvans. After all they would find it difficult to get to the taps you can use.

    Not a problem at all ,as it is not at all unusual to find the normal service points blocked by a m/van who "cannot find" their purpose designed point Wink

    I've done the same if the motorhome point is nearer to my pitch but would move if a motorhome owner needed to use it.

    Totally agree, use whatever  suits  you as long as you are not blocking a designated MH point.

    We have used MH point on Banchory Silverbank when no MHs there, it was closer to our pitch.

    I cannot see a problem although I have never done it. Just watch out if you have an officious warden.

    Clumber Park  is good as you can fill two water barrels at the same time as both points in close enough proximityWink

    Can't see the issue. I would expect an Aquaroll to be filled and you well departed in the time it takes for a MH to pull up, get out, sort themself out and be ready to use the facility?

    Is it that the facility is an exclusive for just one type of member?

    I fill my motorcaravan onboard tanks using a plastic jerry can by walking to the 'normal' service points to get water, is that okay? I can't really see a problem sharing the MV points as long as we don't impede or make access to the points difficult for the motorcaravaners who need to pull their vehicles up to the taps. Afterall, on some sites doing so would indeed cause traffic flow problems.

    Wardens are no problem. They've recommended to us to use it in the past.

    Not a problem at all as long as you dont block it for mh. Dont tell the warden but I have used an empty superpitch tap for filling our water tank When we had the RV. It was directly behind ours so just put the hose on and stood by the tap to move it if needed.
     Used to do the same if we were on the pitch next to the general taps -just plug it in but stand by it to move the hose if anyone else wanted the tap.

    While in Cornwall this summer the motorhome hose conected on the tap that we all use, but the pich we where on this year the hose could reach our water barrel without moving it from our caravan, it was great I never moved the water barrel, just kept topping
    up with the long hose
