Hi.Im sure ive seen the answer here somewhere but i cant find it.

Any suggestions please for cleaning the waste pipes on caravan ready for the winter lay up.

use a weak warm bleach mix down pipes and you can shut outlets to hold the mix for a time slowly drains down .

make sure you shut outlets for winter you dont want any pest up your pipes

The boss puts a handful of soda in the sinks etc and trickles some warm water slowly onto it; then when its nearly gone just leaves it till we use the van again.

Our water used to drain slowly. I put clingfilm over the ends of the drain pipes and shut their 'lids' Put soda crystals down all the plug holes and followed that with a kettle full of boiling water and left it for 20 minutes or so. I couldn't believe the gunk that came out when i took the clingfilm off.....make sure you wear rubber gloves.
