I don't think so, but one to always keep in the back of your mind if in need is, most, if not all Graveyards have a Water Tap

A lot of these are not accessible by vehicle, but handy to know.

I find that most garages will have a tap and I have never had any issues topping up my tank. While I don't have to, I always try to spend a few euro on either diesel or buy a coffee or something if they have a shop.

Once we were stuck and asked on a church on the middle of the country, was not a bother either.

Always carry a few meters of expandable hose and a few fittings though, that will make your life so much easier.

We used to regularly top up with water at petrol stations after we filled up with diesel and hubby would ask permission as he paid. But after being refused permission in one premises a year ago, he now refuses my requests to ask or fill up which means hose through the house before most trips away 😡

I know we have help offered section on the forum where most would offer a water fill. But is this a facility that could be added to the parking app. from members who don't mind someone getting a top up if needed.
it could also become part of the new club for members.

It's already a map by someone else, why add it to the App? 🤔

Or do you mean a different thing with app users offering their taps?

The map it's on is great, if you want to fill your drinking bottle, that's what its there to try and save on the plastic bottle wast.
try pulling your van up outside the Happy Pear and bringing your hose to the counter. :D

Yes, the second one with members offering their own taps.
I know we have a facility on the forum

They are looking at adding a tap criteria for taps that can be accessed by a motorhome/vehicle.

I'd rather work with someone who has done the work than try and replicate someone else's.

I have added my two positions to their list and will show them as a garden tap with potable water, accessible for hose connection, maybe others could do the same
