Grey water pipes

[Jev88]

Hi. Stayed on a CMC site today that had a dedicated MH service area. Bins, elsan point, fresh water and Waste water grill. If I could have been bothered to reverse up against the wall that shields the elsan point I would still have had 5? Metres to go from waste tank to grill.
What do you fellow MH folk do? Do you carry a bit of extra hose pipe for waste water? I saw another MH on site with his short pipe going into a caravan style wheelie waste catcher but don't really want to be lugging another plastic box around with me? (Although I can see the benefits if you were staying in place more than a few days and didn't want to move MH).

We use a 5 metre "Henry Hoover Hose". Light weight ish and easy to store. You can buy "Collapse" hoses which are 1 metre in length, but expand out and join together. Not sure of the price, but henry hoover hose cheap on Amazon

We use a bucket when necessary. Always works regardless of distance.

Colapz hoses are here https://colapz.co.uk/collections/flexi-waste-pipes - clever but pricey.
Caravan Club members get 10% discount on Colapz website https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/membership/member-offers/colapz/ .

May need one of these https://colapz.co.uk/products/flexi-waste-pipe-adaptor too for motorhome outlets:

Got to admit at the moment having downsized when we can't use a drive over drain then we use a collapsible bucket https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...ies-discount-codes.184590/page-2#post-3032128 like this:

Take a long time to empty 100 litres with a collapsable bucket!!!!. What is it with the UK in France nearly every aire has a drive over grey drain even on quite basic aires our lot seem geared op to tuggers trundling around their wastemaster with the casette bungeed on top. I would wait till the next dumping point or try the hedge .

You haven't, by any chance, got a photo of this set up on the C&MC site that could be sent to their head office and encourage the Club to speed up on doing improvements for the Motorhome community ?

It costs enough on their sites without us having to adapt our vehicles to suit their incompetence.

We have one of these, more to use when pitched up to save moving the MH around. Good price at the minute too, paid more not that long ago.

No it did not have a dedicated Motorhome service area, it was the same one they use for 'Tuggers'. They are still mostly of that mentality, they just changed the club name to attract what they see as a profititable customer. Rant over!

Without seeing the layout, it’s difficult to be sure what I’d do but it’d most likely be to get as close as I could and then open the tap. This would be followed up by a quick hose down with water IF there was an adjacent water filling hose.

Always use lay flat hose.

I know I had to it in Spain a couple of months ago.
