The hose required is a 28.5mm ID waste water sytem hose. Plenty of choice on Amazon eBay or caravan outlets.
It’s the caravan outlet that it needs to fit.

28.5mm Caravan Waste Pipe | Grey - Homestead Caravans
The pipe is 32mm as all metric pipes are measured in OD. You can buy it by 2m or 3m single lengths from Toolstation.
Many online sellers don’t abide by convention and I understand their logic. Although the one in my link eventually does quote the OD. You only have to look via Amazon, ebay and others and the majority quote 28.5mm ID. I guess it’s logical as it is the drainage pipe that pushes on to the caravan drain outlet. So if someone wants to find a pipe that fits the caravan waste outlet the obvious way is to measure the OD of the waste outlet which then gives the ID of the pipe they require. The OD, to a degree, is almost irrelevant.
When I looked it was cheaper to buy a kit than the individual parts.

Go to Toolstation or Screwfix and ask for 28.5mm ID waste pipe and most people behind the counter will look at you like you are out of your brain.
As for 32mm pipe and they'll ask you how many you want.
I was not saying how you approach a retailer or whatever, it is just that (with EU help!) asking for the OD without reference has become the norm.

But not in the caravan waste system drainage. Just search the ads. How many think of Toolstation as their first port of call for a caravan waste hose. I suggest a very few. But I admit leisure vehicles are a bit if a cottage industry. 😂

Wed use to carry around all the bits and pieces and then decided it was simple to use a Y connection as we only have tow outlets and not three. https://www.campingandcaravandirect...008/s3222?cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB
#3 shows solid pipe, not flexible, hence why some may consider a hardware retailer rather than a caravan dealer?
Certainly if I wanted a solid pipe waste drain Screwfix would be my first port of call. But that’s doesn’t detract from the fact that in my initial post the pipe was flexible and referred to as 28.5 mm by the leisure equipment retailers.
