When I open out my camper at the moment there is a smell of old drains initially and closer inspection does prove it is wafting from the sink.  What is the best way of cleaning a drain?  Would the water system cleaners be the best am just wondering how I am going to plug the outside drainage to keep the fluid in the drain for a good soak.... (I was wondering what sort of bung to place at the outlet point... Suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

why not just replace the waste pipe with new ??

costs a couple of quid a metre

Hi - we have  aConway Crusader and usually Milton the pipes and barrel at the beginning of the season - for emergencies i carry a bottle of Mr. Muscle sink unblocker as the waste pipes are quite narrow and can easily get blocked up.

If we are staying on a serviced pitch that has a waste water drainage point then i usually try and put a "U" bend in the long outlet pipe that comes from the camper and this stops any smells coming up from the drains!

Hope this helps
