Dumping grey on the move

😱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The one at Hawes and the others we have seen at Cirencester and Broadway all have the metal grate as shown in Stevels picture and the internal drain is about a foot or more below the grate with the sides all sloping towards the drain hole,the one at Hawes looks as if it has been installed by extending the the pipe from the original two ,although some motor caravaners are still useing the lift up covers

Ps we are now at Bridlington and the M/van waste is of the grated varieties 

yes, even a slight 'depression' would serve (at least) two purposes....

1. a wider catchment area with less 'runaway'

2. the 'depression' allows the driver to 'feel' where the rear wheel is and therefore where the waste tap is positioned, thus eliminating the 'shuffle' that JVB is so fond of mentioning

just a small change like this would make them work that little bit better

I suspect the CMC are set on the current design, as is their way. Having said that and having used, I think, three of them now I don't find them an inconvenience to use. Margaret guides me into position. Providing you are over the grill water shouldn't spill anywhere. I am just grateful they gradually changing them, just wish they were a bit quicker.

Another "problem "with the poor design of most motor caravan waste outlets is that some are in front of the rear axle and some behind,so a "slight depression"will only "assist some"but when we have used the new drive over waste points ,to empty our waste master there is no need to be so care full with the aim

"..only assist some" How so? Surely it's just a case of positioning the outlet somewhere over the "depression". As Mr Clarkson would say 'how hard can it be?"

I agree. Our waste outlet is low down and halfway down the drivers side of the van. It cannot be seen from the drivers seat. I usually have a go at guessing where it is, I get out and have a look, get back in and adjust the van's position by a foot or so as required.. It really isn't difficult. 

The only problem I do encounter occasionally, is where the waste drain is too near to the water tap and is on the wrong side for us. Our inlet is on the one side and our outlet is on the other. To get the outlet to line up with the drain I sometimes have to face the wrong direction in the one way system. It would help if the club only put the MH point in sections which are two way traffic. 

With the latest "waste drains"it  should not matter which side your oulet is as they look wide enough to cater for any motor caravan, although some will still find a "problem.?"to "mention"
