Can I pick your brains please?

I have a Sterling Europa 460 and it doesn't matter what we seem to do whenever we connect the waste water hoses they fall out as soon as water goes through it, can anyone help?  We push our waste hog under the van would it be better to lie it to the side of the van?

You're not using the wrong size pipes on the outlets are you?

If not, is your pipe ribbed ? how about some easily bent wire wrapped around behind the ribs leaving an arm either side and do the same behind the waste connector, push the pipe in and twist the two sets of arms together - just a bit fiddly though!

Other than that next time you go to a dealer or accessory shop take you outlet with you and see if any pipe they sell is a better fit than what you have got.

I have only had a pipe fall out once when there wastemaster was too far under the van before any water was put through, but usually once they are in they stay in whether the wastmaster was under the van or beside it.

Thank for that I like the idea of what to do with our ribbed pipe I think we might try that one.

it's definatly the right size pipe that is the only thing we are sure of

We are at the NEC show this weekend so might have a look at the accessory bits you just never know :)

If its a current van with the 32mm outlet domestic 32mm waste pipe will push fit exactly

I made up a length with an elbow and a T piece to join the waste outlets on the van and they have never dropped out

Here is one available on the market

160
The connection on this one to the van is made with the standard caravan waste piping but short lengths of the rigid pipe work well for me

Drain-away waste pipe suitable for use with Wastemaster/Wastehog

Price: £ 4.99 Care-avan Caravan Accessories

Product Details:
This Drain-away solves the problem of squeezing two waste-water pipes into the narrow neck of your Wastemaster.

Just wrap some insulation tape round the pipes to get a nice push fit .

I would suggest leaving the Wastemaster a bit further out rather than pushing it under the van.
