We are new to motor homing and have a question regarding disposal of grey water. We are told not to travel with full tanks but have recently stayed on a site with no grey water disposal. We have seen some people connect a pipe to their grey waste and just let it run out into hedges or undergrowth whilst parked on site. Is this normal/approved practice?

I have seen continental motorhomes at the NEC show where they state that you should only fill fresh water to 25% for travelling. Since some manufacturers are notorious for offering totally unrealistic payloads (large vans with 3500kg limit such as Burstner Ixeo TL734 for example which has 120 litre but only 20 litre for travelling), the advice on tank filling seems designed to prevent excessive loading. On a 100 litre tank it would save 75kg to travel a quarter full and many continental vans have much larger tanks. Dubious sales practice I would say.
