On a recent jaunt with our van, we saw a great system on another unit for getting rid of waste water. Fixed lengths of plastic piping snapped together and another length of a type of flexi hose. It went straight from the van to the drain which was not too far away.
Does anyone have any idea on where to buy such like thing. Most grateful.
------------- If not now, when? If not here, where?
A caravan shop should sell the flexi hose.Just measure the diameter first.Next for the plastic piping Amazon has it in fact you will get the flexi pipe there too....
I once watched this video with the intention of doing something similar to allow us to park on "serviced pitches". That was a couple of years ago and I still haven't mustered up the strength to get all the bits together in order to build something.
I use 32mm push fit pipe bought from a builders merchant (screwfix), available in 3mt lengths, then cut to 1mt, I carry 6mt + joints & 4 bends & a tee.plus 1mt of flexy pipe, cut as needed to fit you van outlets

Just use the the flexible pipe for the full length to the drain. It will be easier to store when rolled up
Rigid piping and all the necessary bends can be bought very cheaply from screwfix. Certainly makes a great difference in the disposal of your waste water when staying on a pitch with your own dedicated waste drain.
I believe ours is made up of differing diameters, so they fit inside each other from Screwfix, after other half watched The Trudgens YouTube video. Works like a dream and fits inside front locker when not in use.
Saw this blog-some time ago; https://caravanchronicles.com/2013/05/26/connecting-your-drainage-on-serviced-pitches/
I now use a mix of flexible and rigid pipes.
The rigid is of two diameters which makes storage and use easier.
Whilst flexi may be easier to store getting water to 'run' along its length can be difficult.
