AQUAROLL

WATER CONTAINER

All bow to the king of caravan water containers. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, the Aquaroll. The thing is, you’re not a real caravanner until you own and have used an Aquaroll. If you’re ever on site do NOT say to anyone, “Oh, what’s that mate?” and point to the Aquaroll. You’ll most likely be banned from the caravan site. I know what you’re thinking – what’s so special about the Aquaroll? If the Aquaroll is that blooming good, why is no one else crowing about it?

What you are of course forgetting, is that I am the one and only International CaravanVlogger and I’ve forgotten more about caravanning than you’ll ever know. Now that we have that straight, settle down and read on about this king of caravan accessories; the Aquaroll.

The Aquaroll is a bit like the Hoover, or maybe an iPad. By that I mean it’s a brand name that describes an item. You’ll here people say, “pass me the iPad”, when actually it’s a Samsung tablet, I mean what’s wrong with people? Someone might say, “Run the hoover around for us will you?” The person being requested will, without a second though pick up the Dyson and start sucking the dust up. They wouldn’t say, “Do you mean the Dyson?” You get my point.

“Don’t forget the Aquaroll Maureen” an excited caravanner might ask of their partner as they pack away the last pieces into the car. Maureen will of course, just pick up the water container without even batting an eyelid or questinging the fact that it’s actually a Waterhog (God help us)

Why All The Fuss About a Water Container / Carrier ?

You’re right of course, no grown adult should get too excited about an Aquaroll water carrier, it’s just not healthy. However, the next time you’re on site, take a look around and most will have an Aquaroll and sometimes two! The main thing with the Aquaroll is that it is simplicity personified. In a nutshell it’s a plastic water butt with a couple of screw tops. But is it?

Design Features

If we take a closer look at this ubiquitous water carrier (and who wouldn’t want to) you’ll see a new stand out design features. Now FL Hitchman, who designed the Aquaroll, knew a thing or two about caravanning. Founded in 1953 and in over 60 years, it hasn’t changed that much. At this point I’d love to insert photos of the changing design of the Aquaroll, but I don’t have any, so let’s just say it hasn’t changed much.

The first thing you’ll notice are the two black bands, this are, in effect the water carriers tires. They make it easier and more importantly, quieter, so when you’re filling up the Aquaroll at 06:00am because you didn’t do it the previous evening and the other half is now saying they want a shower. No, they are not walking across to the shower block and YOU should have filled it up last night. You see, you should have bought two. Anyway your 06:00am trip to the service point will be that much quieter due to these tires.

Next are the two caps, one at the top and another at the side. This geniously allows you to have the water carrier either upright, or laying on its side when attached to the caravan or filling it up at the service point. Brilliantly simple.

You’ll notice on the top and the bottom and little black thing. What is this little black thing I here you ask? Well, it’s for inserting a handle. Can you imagine getting a 40 litre barrel back to the caravan (let’s face it all service points are downhill from where you pitched) from the service point if you had to roll it? There would be many an unfortunate accident with Aquarolls running out of control full of water. As we all know, 1 lire of water weighs 1 kg, so this beast, when full, weighs 40kg. You don’t want that hitting someone’s child, or worse still, your caravan!

So, the handle slots in either side to make moving the Aquaroll more socially acceptable and will probably stop you getting involved in fights, or being sued for criminal damage.

Below is an example of an Aquaroll with the handle attached. You might also notice it’s in blue. This signifies ihat it’s the economy version. It’s a little cheaper, as the name suggests, it’s made from recycled plastic and the walls are slightly thinner

You’ll have to admit this is the longest, in depth article of the Aquaroll you’ve ever read. We’re not finished yet. Before we leave let’s have a look at some accessories that might improve your Aquaroll experience and, well, who knows, might even improve your life (no guarantee on that obviously)

First accessory is the Aquaroll stand. Have you ever seen such a fine Aquaroll stand? I think not …

Next up, is the Aquaroll mains adapter kit. Now this really will change your life! You can connect your Aquaroll to a tap and insert this gadget, it acts a bit like a ballcock on an old water cistern. Once the float reaches a certain lever i.e. when it’s full, the water stops. As the water level drops, it’s automatically topped up…Some prefer this on a serviced pitch as they worry about floods having the mains connected straight into your caravan. (but of course some people worry about anything)

And that my friends is about all there is to say about the good old Aquaroll. Feel free to purchase any of the items listed on this page and if you do, you have my sincere thanks…
