Where do you normally put your aqua roll and waste container for travelling? I have usually put them in the bathroom but wondered if others had a better idea.

When we had a 2 berth end bathroom van I used to put the aquaroll in the upturned step in the bathroom. The wastemaster has always gone in the car behind the passenger seat. With our current van they both go in the car.

We used to carry them in the car with our dog on the wife's knee. All the outside stuff in the car and inside gear i nthe van. Now the dog is on the back seat (it was awkward getting in and out with a dog on the knee!) so there is no room for them, what with everything else, so they go in the van. Funny the reasons why and how we pack!!! 

Water hog in the bathroom to balance the fact that the extended table is left at home (never use it for the two of us so this reduces weight). Waste hog in the bedroom up against the bathroom door. With the other inside stuff this gives us the right noseweight.

Where they go depends on how much you may need to adjust for noseweight, especially if you end up with two full gas cylindars in the front locker at the end of your stay!!

Because the recommended noseweight for the car is 75 kgs. it is usually around 85 kgs. so I store the wastemaster and two empty water containers in the shower compartment (end washroom) which helps to reduce the noseweight plus if we are travelling any distance it frees up the space to be able to use the toilet if necessary. If I had any issues with instability then I would have had to relocate the items but never had a problem with this so storage of the empty containers in the shower compartment works well for us.

I kept mine in front locker. Then last weekend the locker door came open and my daughter, travelling behind rang me to say they had fell out onto the motorway. So mine are now located somewhere on the M6 by thellwall viaduct. I will have to get some new ones now.

Thanks for all the replies. There is a definite trend towards the shower but you've given me some other places to think about as the shower in our new van is in a different place to the one in our old van.
