Malibu Molly

Yesterday I filled the fresh water tank and added 120ml of Puri Sol. Leaving it overnight to clean any impurities in the tank. I ran some through the pipes to both sinks as well. This morning I pulled the van back on my neighbour's drive so I could hook up to the house mains electric with a drop lead I bought years ago abd never used. It kept the batteries topped up whilst I ran the taps to move water from the fresh tank to the grey. Then I could fill the fresh again to rinse out the remaining Puri Sol. It worked well and I then drove to Canterbury New Dover Road P+R where there's a motorhome aire and also a service area.  In total we were carrying 190kgs of unnecessary weight.  Dumping the grey was easy enough as the grid is easy accessible and our drain is amidships. Whilst it was draining I had the tank filling up again, and the taps open. It's essential to clean out all the Puri Sol.   To empty the fresh tank I had to park acro...

We have had Malibu Molly for around nine months and after we have been using it this long, we decided that we needed to clean the fresh water tank. Many vanlifers say they never drink water from their onboard water tank and so maybe they need to do this less cleaning. We do drink from ours, although we boil it first. Reggie drinks water from the tap.  We also carry bottled water in 5 litre containers.  Often filling empty ones from the mains water at home. Water in southern England is potable! 😉 So to cleaning. We usually do it using Puriclean in powder form mixed into a jug. This time we are using Puri Sol in liquid form. It's easier to deploy into the fresh water tank through the large red screw top. The instructions say three caps full per twenty five litres of water. That equated to 33ml.  With a hundred litre tank it's twelve caps. Easier to measure in a jug and pour in the tank. It's supposed to be in there for around 8 hours. After I put it in around 6pm on Friday...
