Mornin'..

Just had a bit of a squint at some online photos of vans(using your model designation)and of the ones I can see, the waste pipe "appears" to be a decent enough size and easy to get at.? (..behind the rear wheel on the N/S?)

So identifying a suitable tap shouldn't be too difficult..

(..I had visions of the previous owner having just bust the tap from out of the side of the tank.....).

Hi. Pepe, would you be able to post a picture of what the end of the pipe "should" look like. Or maybe please give me a link?
You are right in the position of the waste water tank. What I've got is just an open pipe.

Hi again..

The photos I found weren't clear enough to tell what the actual fitting/fitment was on the end. But as for what it "should" look like, it could be any number of things..

(For that,  it may be worth contacting a forum mod to see if you can add "Bessacar 425" and it's year, into the thread title? and/or it may be worth asking on "make specific" forum/website?)

What it " looks like now"  is probably as/more relevant though (ie: is there a threaded fitting on the end? is it a bare/raw pipe end? etc),as knowing that, you can just get something to fit what "is" there...(rather than "what used to be there, before the previous owner unscrewed  or cut it off it.."  )

Some examples:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/motorhome-waste-water-tap

http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan/water/waste_fittings.aspx

(..various drain taps should be available, for not much more, from a caravan/motorhome spares outlet..and as said, I used a plastic "pond" tap on one of our vans).

Thank you for your help Pepe. Daughter and her boyfriend are back from holiday later today. I will show him your link and get him to take a look at the waste pipe. I can then order what he thinks will be the correct fitting.
Luckily he is a mechanic so he'll have a better idea than me!
My caravaning friend who came yesterday was horrified waste water could just freely flow. I could use a collaspable bucket but the reminder of the water is still going to drip along the road.
Also, I'll have a poke into the the end of the pipe to see if there is a thread, not done that yet !
