we checked logical reasons,we have just tried instead of draining it to rear of van we have just dropped the pipe straight down to side of van and drains fine,it seems it cant cope with a long run to back of van.

Also another propblem with this van is the chopping board stroke draining board is areall poor fit,has any one else had problems with this.

the caravan is a coachman pastiche 535/4

Our Coacman is a Pastiche 460/2 with end bathroom.  Although we haven't had problems, I have noticed that the shower tray drain pipe also loops down through the van chassis.   The silly thing about this is that the drain is towards the van side wall.  If they had placed it 180 degrees around, it could have gone directly to the rear without having to dip under the chassis.  As has been said, they don't always give enough thought to these things.

The wash basin is in the far right corner, yet the pipe passes behind fixed internal panelling and access to it would be a major job. If I do have problems in the future, some serious DIY re-routing could be on the horizon.

although the caravan seems very nice i think he is regretting buying this model especially for the money they cost

thanks to you all.
