Dumping grey on the move

BrianjoNB, Thats an interesting question and not one than many caravaners face, for we usually store grey water in aa "Waste master" until it is eventually emptied either into a drain or as several basic CL's suggest around trees and shrubs etc.

But I suspect that your problem comes from being on a CL style site with no grey water drain.  Like many of the others I would not like to see grey water being disposed of whilst on the move, apart from any thing else it would tend to bring caravanning into disrepute.  Is it not possible to discharge into a roadside drain?  - Before any one points out that they are for rain water run off, I appreciate that, but think of the amount of soapy dirty water that goes down such drains after the Sunday morning traditional car wash ?

Discharging liquid onto the highway is against the law in the UK.  Little to do with the liquid, and a lot to do with creating another hazard on the highway.

On most club sites let alone Cl's its almost impossible to get the grey waste down the M/H disposal point. It invariably end up on the concrete, running off on to the club road.

There again, it only needs a hose to feed it into a drain.

I can think of many reasons why you should not do this and it is clearly anti-social apart from anything else but why on earth would you need to do this. On a CL the logical place is the hedgerow (assuming no fats, oils etc.) and on a site there will be a disposal point.

Having said that, if you regularly use Aires on French motorways you will be aware that many lorry drivers dont bother to use the rest rooms and use the nearest grass verge or hedge, hence the unpleasant smells on many Aires. So, discharging grey waste would be the lesser evil.  Still anti-social and potentially unpleasant in dry weather.

Not  if  you  use  your  loaf,  Fishy  !!

I  carry  a  short  length  of  guttering  with  a  'leg'  at  one  end  and  I've  never  dribbled,  spouted  or  poured  over  the  grid  surrounds.

And  I  try  hard  to  be  as  accurate  with  the  sites  Drain  Cleaning  system  as  well.

Really, I have stayed at 3 camc sites in our new Motorhome and also worked at 2 camc sites so 5 sites in total and never had or seen a problem disposing of grey waste. If you are finding it difficult ask the warden for some help I’m sure they would be glad to help rather than you dumping your grey water all over the tarmac

I never realised that my grey water was such a toxic bio-hazard.

As said before motor caravan  waste outlets are very poorly designed on the majority of vehicles, but as we did when we had motor caravans an extra watts of pipe connected to the outlet did save the "dance"non a service point,and as noted when at Cirencester some weeks back even the latest drive over type was a problem for some 

There is no need to dump grey waste anywhere else than the proper facilities provided at club sites/CL's.

If no 'specific motorhome dump point' is provided you can use a pipe or separate container to drain waste into and then empty. If you don't want to carry extra containers use your toilet cassette once it has been emptied and flushed to drain your waste into.

I believe that 'wild campers' should leave nothing behind but footprints- anything else gets motorhomes a bad image
