No drainage

[HarryM1BYT]

Away at the moment for the first time this year, for a week in Guisborough. Where allowed or encouraged, rather than using a tank to catch the grey waste from shower/ washbasin and sink, I use a long flexible hose in sections, with joints - so I can suit the length needed, to the hedge bottom.



It is quite easy here, downhill to the hedge, except it worked for a day, then the shower backed up when Jean used it. I started pulling the joints apart until I found one with no pressure behind it and out flushed a small well rotted body, complete with bones. Obviously it had got in and been unable to get back out.

yuk

some places your welcome to let the grey water go into the hedge, others not so.
when I was a child we had a bucket for grey water, it overflowed almost every day.

Wastermaster is such a good idea but even that the wife and I can fill till it overflows

I used to use a basic 5 gallon fresh water container and similar one for waste with a side entry. It a while to convince myself how much better the roller type were, but eventually I succumbed and bought a WasteHog and Waterhog (Pyramid Plastics). PP closed some years ago, but I read another company began making the WaterHog. I split mine a few years ago and managed to repair it with a special glue/filler.



I rarely bother taking the Wastehog, when I know the site I am going to. Present one is a slightly sloping field, with a steep valley all the way along the side where the caravans are parked and directly behind them. So its very easy to just run a pipe into the valley to discharge.


£10 pn, all in, use as much electric as you like, because he generates his own from a manure.

I assume you're back at the quiet site on the Skelton side of Guisborough Harry - turn right as you go up the twisty bank - just after the left turn to Saltburn?
I'm a mere 435 miles South of you in Cornwall with my 'van

Yes, Michael's site. It is an hidden right turn, until you are on it, on a bend at the very bottom. The one with the old iron stone workings at the back.

Talking of blockages, a couple of decades ago I couldn't get any gas in the caravan, so naturaly assumed it had run out - took it to get a replacement, despite shaking it and feeling liquid inside sloping about. Supplier agreed there was gas left in it and proved it. It was the Calor type with clip on regulator. Gas into reg, no gas out and I found the outlet bloked by a grub which had made its home in the push on pipe outlet.
