I believe it is actually illegal to put it down roadside drains.

These days, it seems MH folk expect a drive-over drain, but they're still the exception on many sites. We have a black plastic canister and usually use that even if there is a MH service point. A bucket wouldn't go under our drain, the outlet is too low.
It's my pet peeve seeing people empty their grey water onto the hardstand on site. I confront people when I see it, and they always have a cocky reply - the eyes wide "oh I didn't realise", or "don't worry, it's only shower water, not the kitchen waste" (same tank...). One site manager told me they'd barred someone who drove around the site roads with their waste outlet open. The worst was seeing a MH parked up for its holidays overlooking a beautiful little harbour in Galloway, a huge pool of dirty water with bits in it draining down the Tarmac.
So the answer is - go for 3 days until you get to a site (your waste tank is bigger than your fresh water - if you run out of fresh, your waste is close to full), or empty it into a container & empty that responsibly: down a drain, or under a bush if there isn't one, but never ever ever into fresh water.
-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.
