Well we took the plunge and purchased a 2018 Pilote P740C. We have always been Caravaners, but been looking and umming and arring for 3 years for a MH.

Anyway, my question is...The Pilote Motorhome has a slide dump system for the Grey Water tank. This is ok if you can park over a disposal point. I would like to fit an extra outlet from the waste water tank so I can run it out into a wastemaster to save moving the MH every time I need to empty it. Plus we usually look for fully serviced pitches...

The dealer quoted £250 to add an extra "side pipe outlet". This seemed expensive for what is just a pipe and to drill a hole into the underslung waste tank.

Has anyone made such a modification? If so how and where did you source the parts and do you have any photos or diagrams of what you did.

It would be good to have the outlet pipe just under the side of the MH next to the pull handle of the pull valve. I would then be able to drain into a wastemaster or using Flexi pipe on a serviced pitch direct it straight into the drain on the pitch.T

Thanks in anticipation

We have a 2018 model Pilote purchased new by us in 2019. When we agreed the sale, the dealer mentioned that they usually modify the waste outlet with a pipe taking it to the side of the van. They did this as part of the sales price so I'm afraid I cant help with cost. However I think it is a very worthwhile modification. The waste extension comprises 40mm grey solvent weld pipe connected to the slide valve outlet and supported with one pipe clamp and studded rod hung from a small chassis member near the vehicle side. The large bore means emptying the waste relatively quick, and being able to get it accurately position over a drive over waste. For other circumstances such as C/Ls or sites with pitch drain point I have purchased a Colapz waste pipe adapter which fits over the grey waste outlet and flexible hose to waste point. I also have a small 25L black waste carrier that sits under the waste for other stuations. So all situations catered for. Not sure about the comment on drilling a hole in the tank. This arrangement has been fitted to the slide valve outlet.

Hope this helps
