Hi,

New to caravanning anf this year looking at going on first rallys etc.

Anyway, waste water collectors,  are they a must for hygiene and rally rules as seen other caravans without them, waste water poors into the group

Thanks

The Dutch caravanner alway use an ordinary bucket

If we used one it would soon be overflowing

I would say that you should always collect your waste water and dispose of it in an appropriate place.  We would certainly not want to use a pitch where the previous occupant had let the waste water just pour out onto the ground.

I appreciate you are asking about rallies, I think you should ask the organisers or the land-owner.

Most caravanners expect to have to collect waste water and dispose of it responsibly.

Should dispose of waste water in the correct manner collected in a suitable container even if just a bucket (and taken to the grey waste disposal point). Imagine how smellly it could get in Summer if it never rained - even in an open field. Still, not much chance of no rain in uk - lol  

We stopped on a site in France where the previous occuapants had 'bucketed and chucked it' in the ditch behind the pitch. We were over run with cockroaches (yuk!!!) and it stunk. Yak.

Responsible caravanners will collect waste water and dispose of it responsibly.  Surely no one wants to arrive on a pitch that's covered in grey waste and buzzing with flies.

We always use our waste containers. If you had a tent would you like it if the person on the pitch before you had let their waste run straight onto the floor where you were going to put your tent. What if you put your caravan the opposite way round to the last one and your child was playing in the area they had left their waste.
