Another gadget.

[Hutch]

Spotted this bit of kit at Devizes C&CC site last week, don't know the price, but I bet it's over a Tenner.



Found the link Camco. Camco waste pipe support
It's about £30,

OOh it doesn't have the recommended fall ratio( is it 10:1 or 20:1 , can't remeber), so solids may collect in the tube. Talk about overkill

Ah, but the Colapz pipes come with their own little brush to pull through the pipes.

SCV in the trade. Self cleaning velocity.

FALL = GRADIENT X DISTANCE

Around 1 in 40 for a 100mm pipe. Smaller diameter would be steeper. But the calculations also need to consider the internal smoothness of the pipe. I don’t think convoluted pipes are concidered.

Just worried what kind of solids you are putting down your, 🤔

Yes, definitely overkill.

I wonder how long it took them to unpack and erect that gadget?

 

[Mr Plodd]

A fool and his money are soon parted eh?

 

[izzy]

never used anything but a rock to lift pipe
just plain overkill

 

[birdman101]

I use a simple solution of rigid pipe hung from a set of hangers I made that hang from the offside awning channel giving a fall with a short length of flexible to the drain.

What a load of,,,,,,,,#@!&,,,,,,,,,what goes down the pipe.

Less than two Minutes, it's all joined together, like the old Christmas decorations.

It would be something new for me to trip over at night,are they available with multi coloured flashing LED lights whilst playing a tune? 😄

Those people were in the Swift Challenger, lights all over the awning, and loads of lights in the awning until 10.30pm, the couple were in the caravan. I thought it was a bit daft.

I don't know if its novel but I use a waste water container under the outlet pipe, you simply empty it when its full, or like me as part of the morning routine; seems to do the job perfectly. Lining it up takes but a second or two.

I must admit that at one point many years ago, we used to put up lights etc around the caravan. Just a couple and definitely not over board. We then thought why are we doing this to make our caravan look pretty for other people because when sitting in the caravan at night, we cannot really see them anyway. They adorn our garden at home for awhile until they gave up the ghost.

Some looked like aircraft landing lights on one tent years ago

 

[JTQ]

Adorning a caravan, tent or motorhome with lights, frequently flashing is something we don't like and in a rural location context think is so out of place.
Fine at some suitably themed festival type popup event where the users are like minded and such illuminations is all part of the event, but a rally in a quiet attractive rural setting so out of place. There, most go into the country side to be away from the character of big conurbations, somewhat defeated if odd individuals want to bring all that so ill fits the tranquility of the countryside.
Thankfully neither of us is physically affected by flashing lights, though we know some are and justifiably believe others should not bring these lights into an environment so unsuitable, keep them to events where they are part of the scene.

I always think people that adorn things with fairy lights have a screw loose.

I did this for 50 years but now in my 80’s only use super pitches, but still keep it simple.

 

[Jcloughie]

Do not like anything flashy or gaudy. But we do use small solar lights around the edge of the awning as markers.

Well into our eighties I have not found the need to even seek locations where there are super pitches, ideally avoid those with EHUs.
I certainly take on from forums they are so desired, not something, EHU aside I understand the attraction for.

Long held the view we need to keep physically active to be able to keep going, so even these trivial bits of activity help that, plus an aversion to getting too much clobber. Though as posted in another thread I have recently succumbed to adding a power station to possible better enjoy our off grid camping so my clobber burden has increased!

Just like it easy now when away,and don’t consider cost as can’t take it with me. As for being active just fitted all new radiators in daughters house this week read for having new Boiler fitted. Would of done that as well but my gas license expired years ago.

I agree with you just like those that have noisy flapping banners and flags.......
