Does anyone have any experience of using the above 'Flexi' waste pipes? I'm currently using traditional 40mm pipe which takes up an awful lot of room and is difficult to clean. The 'Flexi' pipes look like a good idea, but I'd be interested to hear how they perform in real life.
 
We have some - only used them twice but worked well.
 
Alternative methods of storing pipes are in other threads. Heres mine

I got one this year, but only used once on an Aire in Cavalier, but very useful and compact to store.

We’ve used ours several times - brilliant bit of kit. Ours is fitted with jubilee clip fitted to the threaded waste pipe hose attachment for a Carthago. Quick rinse out, compact it down again and very compact to store.
 
Use ours every time we are on serviced pitch, great bit of kit also very easy to store wouldn't use anything else.
 
We have the Colapz flexi waste kit and find it really useful. Not just on serviced pitches but many CLs and some campsites ask for the grey to go in the hedge, does more good there.
 
I carry a number of the 1m colapz hoses and some 40mm waste pipe cut to 1m lengths. With suitable joining bits they can join in a variety of configurations. They fit nicely in the outside box and are very flexible in terms of reaching awkward drains.
 
Alternative & much cheaper tubing is available - like the Henry vacuum clearer hose, etc. - but we've chosen the Calpz branded stuff for our waste management.
It's used at pitches that express a preference* that grey water goes in hedges (mostly CL type sites) and at home to route grey to our household waste.

*- actually, they usually say "take the grey water to the grey dump point or use our hedges". It's me that wish they said what their preference was. I can do either 🤷‍♂️

We have a small 5.4 m motorhome and are selective on what we use, we do use the flex pipes just make sure you get around 8 of them so they are long enough to wander off to the drains generally 4-5 will do but on occasion we have used 7 of them. good bit of space saving kit
 
I got two packs of these great bit of kit.

Why two, because I can extend to any drain near MoHo on fully serviced pitch.
 
I also find the Colapz useful when I use a grey water container, which I generally prefer to using the onboard tank. The grey water container doesn’t fit under the outlet and I can move it downhill below the level of the outlet to make better us of it.

I've got an assortment of washing machine hose/40mm hose totalling about 7M. A bit like wrestling an anaconda though.

Yes and then you have to find somewhere to keep the Anaconda!

I've ordered a set of eight, together with a waste outlet adapter.
