Before you buy any pipe have a look at this website. It will give you a number of options on connecting a waste pipe.
The lengths some people will go to! Think of all that smelly pipe stored in the van. The whole idea is totally daft. Whatever happened to touring and the freedom of the open road? Might as well just hire a static.

Most people carry about 8 mts of pipe. Personally I use lengths of rigid pipe and various connection purchased from B&Q. I found this easier to handle and store than convoluted pipe.
Hitchglitch. I am sure your comment was very tongue in cheek given that a motor home carries it's own waste container around with it rather than expelling it through a pipe!

haha!
...but in all seriousness, that is what I use and its brilliant. way better than grey pipe for super pitches!
I use all standard domestic fittings from B&Q and it was cheaper than grey hose. I have a manifold all in hard pipe, right from the van, which I use for both the waste hog and with a number of ~2m lengths of straight pipe (with one halfed and one half halfed again) with some straight push fits and variable angle elbows.
You can always make up a good straight run to the drain, its self supporting so no dead spots to slow the draining down and BEST of all, a quick flick and they are dry for the locker - its never smelt so sweet, better than all the manky food trapped in the convolutions of that stinky grey hose! And (in my locker at least) it takes up less room than a coil!
(unless you are commenting on the use of super pitches for additional comfort?....in that case why are you not using a tent? )
For the OP - have a look here for some ideas of kit you can buy:
