We have been told that getting rid of waste water, is simply a matter of pulling the lever and away we go, but when we do this nothing happens. Have read the manual, which tells us nothing at all. We have a 2003 Elddis Firestorm. Sorry if this is indeed a daft question?

many sites will have a drive over grid unfortunately its an ongoing debate on here as to where it should and shouldnt be dumped
Unfortunately the OP hasn't reached the stage of deciding where to dump grey waste, they would just like some advice on how to empty their tank as something is preventing the grey water escaping.

I've found a photo Here of the grey waste outlet on the Autoquest 100 which we had. The end of the outlet pipe, with the tap, can be seen hanging down at the right behind the rear wheel. Also just visible on This Photo, between the rear wheel and hab door step.

The tap is actually a replacement - a garden water butt tap which I found better than the original fitted by Elddis.

You see that's the dilemma which comes 1st the chicken or the egg cos if he does manage to unplug it it'll be dumping smelly water where ever they are parked SOOOO its important that where to dump is decided BEFORE unplugging the waste pipe:hi::tmi:

There are no such things as daft questions. I don't know much about a euro MH, as i have had, in the main, American ones. But, there have been threads on here before stating that pieces of waste food can block the small bore waste pipe, and cleaning them can be a bit of a devil.
I really don't have an answer for you, but, i am sure someone will come along and give you a valid cure.
