Arrived at the fully serviced pitch in our new Cartagena and connected the blue and grey water pipes in the correct way. Washed up plates etc after dinner and emptied a full bowl of dirty water into the sink......after a lot of gurgling noises we found the water had surfaced in the shower......where we had stored a bag of clean clothes......not sure if the water had backed up the second waste pipe or that the kitchen sink and shower are on the same line......anyone else had this issue?

Most caravans we have had have been separate but we do always leave a sink plug on our shower tray to prevent anything coming up including spiders.

I had this a few weeks back, it was all due to the waste pipes being bent and not allowing the waste to flow out, soon solved, but I took off the pipes and gave them a good flush out, check there is enough fall on your pipes to allow the water out.

Pretty poor if its a new van. Simple things like that are not rocket science to fit correctly during the build?

Yes the van was level, as JonMel mentioned, it may be because the pipe was not straight as I had woven it through a fence post and back again. In future I will shorten the pipe and may even use two pipes to keep the bathroom, shower and sink seperated. Thanks for your posts guys.

I thought it was the internal waste pipes you were talking about as the external waste pipe would be visible and any issues would be seen.

If you have joined the outlet pipes together and the pipe then rises up above the outlet level, then the water will flow back to the shower. Gravity, I'm afraid and no getting round it.
Ensure that the pipe outside is always lower than the outlet sockets on the van for its whole length.

Does the waste pipe rise up then down. If so you may get an air lock in it at the highest point.
If the waste pipe is above the level of the shower waste, or close to its level, then the pressure of water in the waste will cause water to rise and flow out of the shower.

I like to used fully serviced pitches wherever possible.
I now use 2 waste hoses to the drain because tee-ing the waste pipes together always resulted in washing up water in the shower tray.
