It is interesting that I have just found this discussion as I had only commented on such a bad practice a few days ago. I am currently touring Ireland and was staying on the Club affiliated site at Nagles Camping and Caravan Park. Whilst having breakfast one morning I watched 5 German registered motorhomes drive past us on their way out of the site, all were draining water along the roadway. On this site the service point was close and accessible, they just didn't bother to use it. We never know what has been drained into these tanks or what is growing in there so it is a practice that should be outlawed. Lets be honest, it's purely down to being lazy. This particular site had most of its pitches serviced so really no excuse.
Posted on 24/05/2018 17:08 by DavidKlyneIncidentally apropos your comment about the club and concrete sumps. Why are the other service points, the ones caravanners tend to use normally concrete.
I am not sure they are. They look a bit like porcelain to me or perhaps a heavy duty fibreglass/plastic. I suppose it could be concrete underneath.
To be honest I think it a bit pointless discussing the merit or otherwise of different construction methods as the Club have obviously decided on the design they want to implement and are unlikely to change. The imperative is to get on and convert and get rid of the lift up covers as quickly as possible. A rethink is just going to delay the conversion?

Posted on 24/05/2018 20:06 by Rocky 2 bucketsWho are the anti-motorhomers DD?, I’ve read this thread, there may be some diagreement but that accusation of yours I find is laughable, you are seeing things that just aren’t there.

Thankfully, grey water (you know... water with a little bit of detergent, foodstuff, toothpaste with some tiny amounts of bodily fluid, perhaps some facial hair) ISN’T up there with the likes of Novichok.
A little spillage is likely less harmful to the general health of fellow site habitants than a diesel vehicle chugging by your pitch at walking pace, or those pesky wildlife types that don’t seem to care where they poop or pee.
It’s a dangerous world
