If we had used such a device when we had a caravan, we would have been putting 40 litres a day onto the same spot for a week. On a CAMC site where pitching is tightly controlled, this is going to be in the same area if repeated by other users. Apart from hygiene concerns / smells, unless extremely well drained it is likely to make the ground rather soft particularly on grass. Perhaps on CL’s that may permit it, if it was used in conjunction with longer waste pipes, enabling it to be moved about, it could have a use,

Neighbouring van left waste tank with valve open just sufficient to dribble drain overnight onto already soft ground. What he hadn’t figured was the slight incline so all the waste water ran to his front n/s wheel and soaked in there. Result was a visit from Green Flag to tow bogged vehicle off grass pitch! Serve him right really as the pitch had to be repaired and put out of use for a day or so. Told warden he’d forgotten that the valve was slightly open.,.yeh right.

Posted on 27/04/2022 16:58 by Paul RichardsI notice an advert for THIS in the club magazine. It certainly looks easier than emptying a waste carrier all the time. Anyone used one? Are they any good? I assume an advert in the magazine means their use is acceptable on club sites or am I wrong?

Cracking the waste cap is an excellent filter and I assumed everybody did it? Obviously I’ve been spending too much time on CLs and overseas.
The Dutch seem to put a bucket under the waste pipe and I can’t ever recall seeing buckets being emptied.

Posted on 28/04/2022 17:27 by GraydjamesI am not sure if it has always been there - but no one has mentioned it. If you go to the ad now you see this banner come up. So definitely not allowed on club sites.
