You can buy the cheap black 25 ltr waste water containers, for about a tenner at any caravan or camping shop. It has two caps, one on top for emptying, and one on the side for placing your drain pipe into. You then just carry it to the grey waste water disposal point at the campsite. Just remember not to let them fill right up, as 25 ltrs can be quite heavy.

I use an old aquaroll for waste water and a newer one for fresh water.

You will need several metres of waste hose if you use super pitches with their own drain (or if there is a mole hole on your pitch!)

Hi Nova- On many sites we seem to go on, not the all singing dancing ones, there is never any specific grey water emptying points, and so most people dispose of the water in a side hedge / ditch away from pitches. Most site owners do not want waste water put down elsan points or down the loos, and certainly not down the drains which are under the water stand pipes.  Hope this helps.    kiev

I am just about to buy one of these. I hope that this will solve the problem. I plan to keep this and the freshwater version in the bathroom when travelling and then if we do an overnight stop I can just put them under the van temporarily. If we are stopping longer they will go in the corner of my awning.

Hi Nova yes you do need a waste container. Depending on how young and fit you are I suggest you go for one with wheels as per the prev message. 2 alternatives with wheels are the Wastemaster and the waste hog. I myself recommend the wastemaster but its personal choice.

--I'm guessing your vans got a waste tank--& as its only a small van yool probabley be doing your washingup etc at the site facilty--all yool be doing with your van sink is rinsing yer hands--& yer teacups-hardly major pollution- --just leave the drain plug open-nobody'll notice--what I always did with my VW camper--

I have just brought a famina waste water carrier, you just lay it under the waste pipe, then screw the cap on, and has it has wheels you just pull it to the waste drain. I was a very good buy, its grey in colour,sold at most good caravan shops.
