I remember a previous thread that reccommended a Woolworths 11ltr bucket. Looking at their web site they don't seem to stock the item any longer has anyone purchased one lately that they would reccommend?

I think all these things come from the same place.. As yet we havent used ours, bought when we had a smaller van because of the space issue..
At least with Argos you can always take it back..
I bought one last year when everyone else seemed to be buying - used it once - OK but nothing to get excited about.
If you have limited storage space then maybe they could be very effective but otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Have you tried the Kent Chamois Company, who stock a 13.6l (3 gall) collapsable bucket for ÂŁ6.30, complete with a zipped storage bag (stock code G618). It got a good write up in MMM magazine. Tel No is 01892 837070. (NB: Item does not appear on their website, but they have them in stock.) I have just ordered one, as it was the best one I had seen in my searches.
I bought 2 when woolies were selling them - they look better quality than the argos ones - I used one a couple of times for taking the dishes to the washing area only problem was the dishes were wider than the bucket - the other one I used when it was difficult to get rid of the grey, they take up less room than the black plastic things but you have more trips with the bucket - hope this helps?!
I've just bought a small yellow flimsy one in our local Poundworld for - you guessed - ÂŁ1 also have a Woolies one which I have used occasionally for grey water. Looks the same as the Kent one. It is sturdier but I found they tend to collapse themselves if half full
Just keep it tucked away for emergencies
I use one of those collapsible 15litre water containers (now ÂŁ2.99 in Wilkos and ÂŁ3.25 in the Towsure catalogue). I buy a new one every few months for fresh water and use the last one for grey suitably labelled. They also get pinholes on the folds after a while.
Also just got 5 metres of food quality half inch tubing for water filling from a local Aquatics shop for ÂŁ1 a metre - cheaper than the caravan shops
