Over the years I have acquired various waste pipe lengths
I use (28mm?) domestic waste pipe fittings to create a 2-1 with a compression fitting to connect to the pond hose - the latter needs a bit of forcing but not enough to break anything.
Apologies if my post was not clear. My post referred to a pipe in the caravan coming loose which can and does happen. Then no matter what the caravan is flooded.
No need to apologise. There never is a correct answer , just good varied discussion.Apologies if my post was not clear. My post referred to a pipe in the caravan coming loose which can and does happen. Then no matter what the caravan is flooded.
In one case we had a pin hole leak on a hot water pipe and the other was when the filter connection came loose and flooded the caravan. In both cases whether using mains direct or aquaroll system the caravan would be flooded so no real difference between using either except a lot less hassle using direct mains. Now up to Sam to decide.
Be a bit careful with that - that's where the outlets were on my last 'van, and if you're on a pitch with a slope from back to front (so the back of the van is close to the ground) it can be a right performance to get the waste running into the Wastemaster. If you're only ever going to use serviced pitches then it won't bother you as I've never seen one that wasn't almost completely flat, but just be aware it might become an issue.
Not really as the drain on the nearside could be situated in the middle between two pitches making it awkward to reach if you have an awning erected.
Didn't Lunars put the drains in the center of the rear of the van, with attendant. problems on sloping pitches?
I guess that it all depends on the angle of thecslope. I’ve seen caravans on some sites where the rear mounted drain outlets were having to have the pitch scraped away under the drain outlet in order to level the caravan.
One at Grange over Sands on a regular site, the other at a CL in Monmouthshire. At Grange over Sands I even loaned the guy my Bebbington leg extenders as his front steadies were unstable and even with three breeze blocks under them it didn’t look safe. Concern was if it should run away we were opposite. The CL had more blocks and timbers than a Jewsons outlet.
In principle, that is exactly the same as my bucket suggestion. But far far neater.
An old friend of mine, sadly no longer with us. This was in Monmouthshire.
It's a good point but if I'm carrying an extra length of waste pipe for use on an fsp anyway, then the waste master can be placed on the side of the van, down the slope and the pipe run into it.
If the drain is on the near side, which is not the awning side (i.e. curb side) then no problem. As the awning is on the other side then I just need a suitable length of waste pipe from rear to drain.Not really as the drain on the nearside could be situated in the middle between two pitches making it awkward to reach if you have an awning erected.
We once came across a pitch where the drain was at the front of the pitch??? I guess no matter what you do, a site owner will try and make it as awkward as possible.
It's not about drainage within the van, but if the back of the van is close to the ground, the waste outlets on the van can be lower than the inlet on the Wastemaster.
Are you sure you were pitched the correct way round. 🥴Not really as the drain on the nearside could be situated in the middle between two pitches making it awkward to reach if you have an awning erected.
