Not used many Aires so far on this trip but a couple of Aires we've been in seem to need a specialised connector for the water point. Our range of gadgetry won't touch it. Can anyone explain where to get these things. (In France). Are they commonly needed?

But when you connect it you get full flow/pressure there is one available in most french hypermarkets which includes a tap

This is one I'm struggling with.
Is the connector for this the one on post#3, pushed into the opening?

Thats the one we used the straight thru one at first but got soaked on occasions. When I saw the one with a tap was just what was needed to control the flow

Definitely what WOOE1958 said is right but you can pay a lot less for perfectly satisfactory versions. Tool station offer a set of bits and pieces including what you want but no tap for less than three pounds. https://www.toolstation.com/plastic-hose-connector-set/p42950. I generally manage to buy several when I find them for a couple of pounds.

Yes it would get the water out and you,d be able to control the flow but you,d have difficulty filling a bottle or fitting your hose to it to fill the vans tank. I,ve taken more notice since this thread started seen 4 all have been positioned close to the ground for some reason ?

Are these a fairly recent development ? I can see the appeal to the operator , never come across them myself , but then haven't had to take water on in France for a few years :)

All the better for dogs to piss on them, I suppose. and you can't wash them off before connecting. No idea of hygiene, those frogs. At Canterbury they fitted a new tap away from the outlet and quite high up to avoid contamination from careless cassette washers and dogs. I did not see it until after I had filled up but I wash the tap with disinfectant anyway so no harm done.
