Hasn't it got a 'grey' water tank?

45L is quite a large amount to move around when full, nearly 2 sacks of spuds, so do you need one as large as that as you'd have to store it too.

Anyway, there are various types out there but an important requirement is to know what height you can get under your MH, so you know what that is?

If you cant drive your van to grey waste emptying drain just use a bucket a couple of times a day,,BUSBY.

Hi.
Waste Master. it has lugs so that you could,if needed,sit your toilet cassette on it,strap it down with a couple of bungies and wheel the lot to waste point, beware of the " Caps". despite years of experience.... ONE escaped last year. Blighter !!

Just go on Google, put in 'waste water tank wheels'

Then click on 'shopping' and you can see loads of different types.

Bit of a pain to do though if the waste point is a distance away ... by the time I got there half the water would have sloshed out!

I bought a waste hog having had the aqua roll version in a previous life with a caravan. If I was buying again I would buy the aquaroll version! The waste hog handle lies flat on the floor so is difficult and heavy to lift when full. The seals in the screw lids of which it has two are not secure so one of those has already disappeared down a drain. The waste height is too high and won't roll under the MoHo so the waste pipe which you have to supply bows down to the ground and then up again to the hog resulting in spilt grey when shutting off the drain valve and emptying the hog. I really only use it when we shower in the van.

I liked the waste hog. Never had trouble with the seals and liked the extra capacity. However, it is relatively high, so won't fit in places where a WasteMaster would. Also, the wheels aren't very strongly retained and often fall off. Only takes a second to put them back on, but it is slightly annoying. However, this was for caravan. For MH, I've got little 23 litre jerry cans (fresh and grey), as they're a lot smaller and it is only for when the campsite layout doesn't allow direct dumping/filling.

Don't fill your bucket too much ,,it's exercise that some people actually pay for at the gym. Always use watering can for my fresh water and bucket for waste if stopping on a site for a few days.BUSBY.

Filling with a watering can would certainly give lots of exercise with a 210 litre tank! In any case, mine won't fill using gravity. Has to be pumped in. You'd rather get a reasonable quantity of water and let the pump do its job for a bit!

I use the Fiamma 24 litre one, handy for turning into a magic one by taking the little plug out in the bottom.

I have 2 Aquarolls with handles, and 1 wastehog, both as new for sale, plus a load of other caravan stuff, also like new. As you can probably tell the caravaning towing experience & Site experience, did not sit well for our future touring plans.
If any one is interested let me know, We will be going to the Malvern Show meet, but I cant be bothered with the faff of posting or using couriers.

Gail.. I also prefer to empty my tank on a regular basis... despite what you will hear on here by some who say you have a grey water tank so take whole van to drain to empty tank.
I have watched Moho's queing up to empty tanks during the mad departure morning exodus.
Get something small enough to fit under van and you comfortaly carry and empty once or twice a day
I do find it quite theuraputic when I drive off the site and watch Mrs A shouting at Mr A Because he was missing the drain.

Get a bucket as others have said, however it’s the tap I always find the issue to fill up with fresh water.

Grey water, 60 seconds empty and done. Black Horse Farm this morning I swear the wardens turn the pressure down! Must have taken me over 10 minutes to stick about 70 Litres in! The queue just got bigger and bigger!

Exactly Googlebot
That is the exact reason ..despite being poohed by many members on here.. that I carry an auqaroll and pump my fresh water into my tank every 3 or 4 days. Get the wine out and watch all you so called professional motorhomes who will not stoop to carry something that they see as a bulky caravan accessory because it takes more room than a hose but are then happy to brag in other threads how big their garage is and they do not have weight issues..Ppsssttt

busby . Not getting at you but I have watched plenty of moho'ers with garages who seem to make their ritual on arrival at a site to fill and empty and then again when they leave.
Sorry I am not a curtain twitcher but please explain to me how an empty and fill exercise can sometimes take 20mins.multiply that by 3 or 4 vans waiting to leave... Nope bucket for me.. thank you.!!

Well as we don't use sites I was speaking 'fictionally'!

Depends on the bore of the hose you're using too ... are you a 'big' bore a 'little' bore?

True Story
We went on our second ever trip out in our new van to The Malvern Show, couldn't get tickets with Fun (full up) so we went with the COC lot (Carthago Owners Club).
The tap was a fair distance, I couldn't be bothered to move the van to fill up the fresh water tank with a hose, so I got out the two 10ltr watering cans that weigh next to mothing out the garage, and proceeded to the nearest tap, about 50mtrs away.
It was a lovely sunny morning, I filled up both watering cans so each arm would be balanced equally, and walked back to the van, emptied both cans into water filler. then ran inside to see how much the water meter had changed. Well it had only just moved from Red To Amber, still a way to get to Green, so I went back for a second trip to get another 20ltrs, then a 3rd, then a 4th, then a 5th etc, etc.

Later on a nice chap came over and said "they" had all noticed my back & forth walks to the tap, and asked me how many trips I had done in total? I said I dont know exactly, I lost count, but I was determined to get the tank near full, it became a mission, and I enjoyed the exercise.
He then proceeded to tell me it was 6 trips I had made, and asked how he knew it was 6?
I said go on then how do you know.
He then said, cos we all had a bet on, how many trips you would do before giving up, and I won the bet as I knew you had at least a 120ltr water tank, and I like you, I would want it full for the whole stay.
He didnt mention what the bet was or the prize, kick myself for not asking.

And all this because the wifey loves Milk Tray, or wanted a shower more like, every morning, and night before going out to the line dancin. I told her real cowgirls stink of horses, but she wasn't having any

At some camping and caravan club holiday sites thats all you can do cos there are no grey water emptying facilities.

 

[Steve N Tracy]

If the site does not have a dump point I use one of these http://www.watertankswarehouse.co.uk/ourshop/prod_3793588-WWTAK35G-35-Litre-Waste-Water-Trolley.html
It's slim fills easy through the large center filler, and empties easy, you can of on a full service pitch connect a hose to the small outlet to drain water.

If you emptied it twice as often then it would be half the weight. Simple as that..........

Why not?
I often do it when at a CL. If I get a chance to see the owner before doing so,which is usually the case,they invariably say that’s ok. It’s just soapy water and nature can deal with that if you spread it around........indeed,this year down south the hedges have been gasping for water,soapy or not.
