Dumping grey on the move

I got the impression that the OP wanted advice and acceptability about disposing of grey waste whilst not using campsites. A campsite/CL will have a disposal facility albeit where these are basic there may be a need of pipes etc which I expect the OP is already familiar with?

JV, whenever I see your use of the ‘motor caravan’ name I always think it a quaint old term & have a mental image of the pic below. Before you tell me it’s the ‘official’ title, I realise this as you’ve said it many times before👍🏻😊

It’s not unknown for MHs to leave club sites with the drain valve open, David. It gets us all a bad name.

Not altogether sure how your reply links in with my post. I would imagine those that treat the disposal of grey waste in a Laissez Faire manner would not be asking for advice in the first place? 

However on your point about drain valve being left open I often wonder if it's by design or forgetfulness. I have seen a motorhome at the site waste point and having been there long enough to empty a tank but then drives off without closing the valve. Perhaps more worrying is what happens at the next site? At what point do they realise/remember the valve is open?

I think it depends what is grey waste, we only ever rinse our hands in the sink in the van, all washing (people and pots) is done at the facilities on site.  We have been asked on site to open our waste onto the grass especially when it has been a dry period.  

There is far worse on our roads than waste water 

Let me elucidate, David.

You said a campsite will have disposal facilities. I said it’s not unknown for MHs to leave site with the drain valve open. Perhaps I should have been clearer and explained that grey water pours, not dribbles, out of said open drain valves. Therefore, it suggests that the perpetrators have appeared not to bother to use the MHSP but have simply opened the valve. Thankfully, it’s not a common occurrence.

Hi guys I would just like to clarify that it was not us that was discharging grey waste onto the public highway (we are dead against it) but the Motorhome we were following in our car on the M54.I was getting shot down because the vast majority thought it was ok and some thought it quite amusing 😳which I found quite hard to get my head around.

I did get the impression that you were conremplating discharging grey water in that manner, BJ.

I'm pleased that’s not the case.

Next to us all week there has been a lovely (older than us)couple with a "real" autosleeper executive coachbuilt, and he was saying when we were chatting yesterday that they had been sitting out all day as it was to busy to go out, and noted the lack of consideration that now seems to prevail with "modern"motor caravanners oposite their pitch is the "upgraded?"motor caravan waste point, and he said out of the 14 that had used it only one had rinsed it down after use,three had closed their waste taps one had not managed to empty into it properly and it had run everywhere, and had to mention to one (before he did it) that it was not for emptying the toilet cassettes 

Will they be moving on to the shower block to check on the toilet habits of members & how they’ve changed since the olden days?😂😂. It’s good of you to be interested enough to report back JV.
