Disposing of grey water

[peterc10]

Just a thought, as I'm a total newb, but couldn't the wheeled WC cassette be laid flat under the grey outlet and be filled ?

No. There are dedicated elsan dump points just for toilet ("black") waste. You usually can't dump grey and black waste in the same place.

Hi, I was thinking more along the lines of using it as wheeled bucket.

I occasionally flush out the cassette from the grey water outlet if there is no water supply to do it otherwise.

But it's not really "good form" to empty your grey into a WC disposal, especially if it's a septic tank - fills it up unnecesserally.

The product required would be a Wastemaster ( big grey waste bucket with wheels ).
You can’t be using the toilet cassette to dump grey waste

Probably not a good idea as people would think that it’s toilet/black water and report you and after the fact you could not prove otherwise

Washing up bowl into bucket, repeat as necessary, bucket to disposal point or nearest bush as appropriate

How do you collect your shower water?

Our Wastemaster wouldn't fit underneath

How do you collect your shower water?

Washing up bowl is low enough to fit under waste tap, fill bowl, empty into bucket, repeat until bucket full, empty bucket.......repeat as necessary. Not ideal for long term but works ok.

We don't need to do this as we don't use the shower in our camper and we move often enough to empty the waste tank over proper waste water disposal points.

Washing up water doesn't go in tank, usually use site facilities, when not on site it is disposed of thoughtfully.

We have one of these folding buckets:
Amazon product ASIN B07GZSRZHK
Cheap, light, easy to carry, folds away so stores easily, and because its not rigid it can fit under almost any height waste outlet.

It is contaminated with faecal matter (s**t to you and I). Site owners are happy to allow soapy water on their plants, but not that. And, as others have said, it should not go down the elsan point.

Why not open the grey tap a little bit so the grey water is ‘trickling out’ and go for a short drive?

Works a treat

Can’t tell when it’s raining,
Can’t do no harm can it.

That’s exactly how I do it. As you say not ideal but in the odd instance where I don’t want to move the van it works.

Used to be rally practice and was CC official policy back in the )60's. Grey water around field edges.

Yes that what I do, but you get some strange looks at times

Very naughty that, gives us motorhomers a bad name

You could try a length of hose from the outlet of the waste tank to the Wastemaster. My own van has a dedicated hose to lock onto the outlet so that I can place it into the drain. I often when arriving home park it over a street drain to empty the tank there or if parked on the drive, over the grass at my front, not the verge

So the washing up liquid residue and oils end up on the road ...nice one

What’s wrong with that?

It’s only soapy water, apparently motorcyclists appreciate it as well as it keeps their wheels shiny

Us RV'ers are equipped with Highway Waste Disposal " HWD" Once up to temperature the system pumps black and grey water from the holding tanks into a macerator which grinds up the Poo and paper and injects it at high pressure straight into the two exhaust manifolds, instantly vaporising 90% of the fecal matter blowing it harmlessly out of the back of the RV

Sounds a good system but means a major change where most European Motorhome’s do not have a black tank.
However, the idea of trickling on the road from the grey tank is just not on in most people’s view including the general non camping fraternity. I am always a bit wary of using the campsite bushes even if the owners approve

I think that you'll find that most people:-

• Approve of letting grey water dribble out as they drive
• Think that "A" Frames are legal in Europe
• Know that you need a Rolex and £2K in cash before your broken into
• Believe that the Gassing Myth is "true"
• That the Caravan & Motorhome Club is a "Club"

So 10% of your sh!te gets blasted over the guy behind!! Love the idea!! Where can I get one fitted!! And can you get one that varies the percentage?

On the main issue, I got a supplementary side hose fitted to the grey tank so I can attach a hose to a grey water disposal point. This also means I can direct the grey water straight down into a roadside drain if I need to, but I haven't had to yet.

There is an optional remote controlled "nozzle" so you can direct it.

It is on the same App that we use for the Slide outs, electric awning, hydraulic jacks and exterior TV and sound system

Love toys!

Reminds me of the time as an Operations officer in the coach company I received a phone call from a somewhat irate lady who had been following one of our coaches. Apparently one of the passengers, unknown to the driver, pulled the wrong lever when they tried to flush the loo.................................
