Well one good thing about that flexible long pipe is you can just chuck it into the middle of the van underneath if you are on long grass or in some situations it will extend enough to a hedge if your near one. Before everyone calls the camping police there are situations where this is ok. Couple of the rough and ready CL's we have stayed at for example. No waste at all goes down our grey. You can tell that when you have to empty the bloody thing crawling on the floor. It never smells.

I had problem's be with my fresh water valve being stiff to open so I fitted this electric valve one flick of the switch and it’s empty no crawling around on the ground jobs a good un

I did the same with my water tank dump valve Jeff, my tank is inboard and the manual valve was a right pain to get to so I mackled a 22mm central heating zone valve to do the job. It needs 240v to work it so I have to plug it in but there's no problem with accidentally dumping all our drinking water if a 12v switch gets accidentally switched on

Welcome to a Barry thread Jeff

Just leave the tap slightly open.

You can still use the long hose just use a T piece off the tank one end to valve the other to your long hose if the valve pack up you still have what you already have jobs a goodun

Mine is 12v Merl and I have on occasion forgot to close it while filling up lolol

 

[exwindsurfer]

I've not put one on my wast as I very rarely close it + my wast pipe runs down from my tank unlike Barrys

Ah yes. The sneaky stealth grey dumping trick. Its all coming out now innit?

Actually yes. Who says you can only have one pipe for emptying? Keep the original pipe but have an additional electronic and remotely operated valve on the side of the tank using a separate outlet. That way you can use that for drive over drains and use the manual one for situations where you want to bucket and chuck it! Genius!! And it was my idea! Well Im claiming it!

But are you capable of doing it Barry

Im just the ideas man. I employ tech wizards like Merl or @zzr1400tim to do make the magic happen.

 

[exwindsurfer]

Save all the crap of getting down on your knees to drop the wast.

 

[exwindsurfer]

I am getting like you Barry a lazy sod

He needs to find a way to get it on the bike.

Its my bloody knees that are the problem hence why I would prefer to just be able to turn the tap and not have to drop it down. What are the Froggies gonna think when they see the daft Rosbif rolling about on the service point like a flapping Haddock?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Nowt new there then.

 

[exwindsurfer]

This is what you need Barry
