Caravan waste pipe replacement

[Jamesl63]

I have been seeing what might need updating on my caravan and have noticed an issue with the waste pipe
There appears to be a sprigit which is from the bathroom area and this is loose has no connector and water cones out
It does not have any connector us this a jubilee clip missing
The pipe is not in great condition so I was thinking of replacing it with rigid DIY pipe
But was unsure how to fix to caravan re drilling into the floor
I also wanted to put two outlets with the flaps on at the side if the caravan for easy access

I would suggest you use flexi pipe, its a lot easier to route than rigid stuft. You can then locate the outlet exactly where you want it, perhaps marrying it up with the kitchen waste outlet?
The outlet units simply screw into the caravans plywood floor. Probably best to use stainless screws rather than mild steel.

The downside of flexipipe is that debris collects in the corrugations which can increase odours and reduce flow and can form a downward loop which acts as an unwanted water trap. An alternative is smooth bore pipe, used in garden ponds, but the downside of that is weight!

Manufacturers tend to fit rigid pipe under the floor - I modify it with blocks to give a gentle down slope towards the final outlet.
