Sink wast pipe has dropped off. Because Bailey are unable to tighten a jubilee clip at the factory the corrugated vertical down pipe has dropped off the 90 degree bend located under the rear left hand side of the 3 burner hob. I have tried my best to describe this before on this forum so please note the problem is I cannot figure out how to gain access to this junction . It is not under the sink. There is no drawer under the sink. The fridge is under the sink, the repair is a 30 second job. It is access that is the problem. So I need to know how to lift up or remove the Thetford 4 burner hob so I can access this pipe junction. Surely, please. Someone should know. We can’t use the sink as the wast water drops down into the cutlery drawer at the moment.

When was the caravan purchased? Probably not a good idea to remove the gas hob unless you are a competent gas fitter.
Purchased 2022. Yes I know all about the dire warnings about the gas fittings. I have no problem with the gas I am an engineer and have all the checking and detection equipment. I just need to know how to gain access to this pipe junction. any help appreciated.

Bailey 400-2 waste pipe fell off. i am useless at the forums so please forgive me.
Good photos presumably taken through the drawer aperture?
Is it possible to get an arm / hand onto the pipe?
What’s on the other end of the solid pipe? Coming at issue from the other end?
Why not ask your Bailey dealer how they would it?
You could argue this fault was present at point of sale and ask the Dealer to fix it foc?

My guess is you will have to remove the caravan's oven sufficiently to gain access. They normally have a gas supply pipe that allows them to be partially pulled out.
This happened to my Swift caravan but access was easier via a cupboard.
After refitting I added zip ties to prevent the corrugated pipe falling and the joint parting even if the jubilee clip slipped again.
We all tend to underestimate the movement caravans are subjected to when being towed ....even manufacturers!!

Can you remove the plug hole from the sink? Our Swift had the pipes fall apart and I was able to remove the plug hole, replace the flexible pipe and drop the new pipe down the plug hole and reconnect at a lower point to the original pipe that I could reach, then managed to pull out the old pipe
