[rob1234]

hi any funsters use a full service pitch ,with the drain off in the middle of the van, operated from a lever ,,i have never had this in the past ,i always used pipes linked to the drain ,,but with this i cant seem to work out if i need to drive to the waste dump every time ,,thanks

My waste pipe discharge (2021 G741) is next to driver side rear wheel just below the valve
What year is your van ?

hi Rob, which pilote do you have , we have a p740 so would be interested in your solution, I put a small bowl with a hole and tank connector in the side and use colapz pipe but would be still interested in your solution.

hi we have the g740 evidence ,,the waste comes out straight down when the lever is pulled ,,did the tank connector fit the existing hole ,,? if so what size was it ,,?

Does anyone have experience of the manual stabilisers fitted to the rear of their van. If so, what is the downside to using them and are there any you would recommend?I have a Carthago C tourer, max 4250kg.

Here's my solution. 32mm waste pipe that I had lying around.

Hi , I had a pilote 626U and had the same problem. I used a piece of 40mm white plastic and wrapped self amalgamating tape round it to make a seal , connected it to an elbow then another length of pipe on to which I fitted corregated waste pipe to drain. I later added a pipe click at the horizontal pipe nearest to the elbow and used a small piece of screwed rod threaded on to a place which was mounted on to a small square of wood this kept the pipe in place perfect for serviced pitches. Got it all in Screwfix minimum cost.

looks good,,i get some connectors tomorrow did you screw into the bottom of the tank to hold it ,,?

 

[andyman]

The elbow is glued into the outlet with stixall, from toolstation. I stuck a 12mm thick piece of ply to the tank insulation , and screwed a pipe clip to the ply. I used one of the bolts that holds the wet locker to hold a bracket, and again screwed a pipe clip to it.

brilliant, i see it now ,did you bring it out the passenger side ,cant tell from the photo,,?i have contacted pilote about the front screen falling ,,while driving ,,not much help,,the little catch that is in the middle doesnt seem to do anything to lock it ,,was scarry came down driving on m6 through Birmingham all the bumps on the road seem to loosen it coming down a bit with every bump,,dealer is 5 hours away or i would take it in to see what they could do ,,

We had them (prefitted) on our last van, a C tourer. We only used them very occasionally, mainly if we were stopping somewhere a while. No real disadvantage, but you do have to remember they are in use & don't try to drive off with them still down! The simple way to do that is to lay the stabiliser jack handle across the pedals.

I added a waste pipe on my Pilote from the centre to the drivers side. Second picture is before it was trimmed to sit flush with the body.

I'd keep an eye on the cable ties... they don't last forever and tend to snap after a while
