Maybe not TW. If deciding not to go out and sat outside on a sunny day opposite the MH empty point it might have been idle curiosity. I still look out for an X-Trail the same colour and model as mine. Idle curiosity as I have, over the last, (nearly) 13 years seen only one and had a chat with the owner who was on the same site.
Doesn't make me sad - merely curious.

Posted on 22/05/2018 07:42 by young thomasI don't think there's any lack of consideration on the part of 'modern' MHers....they just want a well designed MHSP that can easily accommodate differing waste outlet configurations.
we all know it's easy....we've seen them all over Europe but, for some reason, we seem to want to make it as difficult as possible with heavy solid manhole covers which are worse than useless as half the membership can't lift them...
the club has stated its rolling out a new design although this may take a lifetime....lets hope the design is a good one, with a grill of decent dimensions to make life easy....a sloping concrete surround would also help guide any misdirected water down into the grill...
we will be at at Minehead early next month, and I know they were about to start on a new MHSP last time we were there....it will be interesting to see what they come up with as the current one is awkward as its on a fairly steep slope.....
my guess is the location won't change but to hopefully the size of the waste drain will be much increased...

Unfortunately BB, unlike some of the ones abroad, which I have used for waste master emptying, the CC versions are not away from where folk might walk. The one at Hawes (pictured) has very little slope on it. I assume it was placed where it was as it's a fairly easy and cheap fix, rather than constructing a totally new one away from possible foot traffic. As a result run off is much more likely.âšī¸
