Does Bessie have a tap underneath approx under the rear locker. We have a hose pipe from a washing machine which fits over the tap outlet. This we can direct into a drain on site or at home or straight into the ground underneath if we are on a field at a car show.

She does indeed have a tap underneath the rear locker. Are we talking about the grey spiral pipe waste pipe from a washing machine or one of the hot/cold water pipes with the a screw fitting?

Hi Kate,

We have what I imagine is the same outlet as you and until this summer we have never had to connect a pipe to it. We have either emptied direct into a greywaste drain, used a bucket to collect and then empty out into a suitable drain/hedge etc or, our cassette if there has been no suitable water supply available to wash the cassette out when its been emptied (makes a good job of rinsing the cassette too).

This summer however, because we have been campsite based and on a 'service pitch' I scrounged a bit of washing machine type pipe and secured it to the outlet. It is quite a good fit into the outlet but I've used some tape to seal it and a couple of ties to help stop it getting dislodged.

Excellent, thanks very much Neil. Himself can sort that easily now he's seen a picture.

Much appreciated.

Hi the grey waste pipe needs to be measured as there are a couple of different sizes, that can be bought cheaply over the net. Crinkly tube generally needs a sleeve that fits into and over the end of the pipe which then slips over your waste pipe.
Should you purchase a length of pipe I recommend that you get a length that will allow you to reach the other side of your van, as most services on pitches are on the 'back' of the vans
Regards.
