Then you run the risk of negative complaints about the bucket overflowing with grey electron waste,
or for chucking it into the bushes. On a positive note though, currently you'll only be charged with a minor offence.

I heard that the reason Lightning strikes trees is because people pour their used electricity underneath them and that attracts it? It must be true. I read it on the Internet

Ok the guy rang this morning and says that as a good will gesture he will refund £75 off what I paid and was most apologetic about the mix up so I will go without a plughole and the guy who is fitting it says he can blank it off so there won’t be any future problems.
Phewwww

Ok this is what I have learned so far

Domestic 8023 no drain hole

Domestic 8063 with drain hole


And all Smev/Dometic dealers are idiots.

And spellchecker thinks Smev is called Steve.

And Dometic is having a domestic.

I give up.


Yours slightly annoyed Bradford.

Thanks Annie,

At least that little rant has given me a laugh.:lol-053:

Glad you've got it sorted.

A "U" bend can be intended to be a trap. Often because of it's simplicity
a preferred method. Standard W.C. household sewer P and S traps essentially
are just variations on the "U" bend, the P allows an outlet virtually straight thru the
wall behind or to the side, and the S straight down thru the floor.
There are proprietary compact plastic chamber type containers available for mobile vehicle apps.
take up hardly any space but from what I've seen they tend to readily block.
The waste outlet on showers and whbs and sinks, Smev fittings found in m/homes
at least the ones I've come across aren't traps they just get a waste pipe away with
the least projection or intrusion because of the often tight space constraints.
Usually a choice of side outlet or straight down, take your pick.
Up to the convertor where he provides a trap of some description.

I think this thread should have a sticky and be titled 'Annie's Hole.'

Turning into a positive thread this oven thing.

No need to worry. Just keep the plug in Annie.

I think it’s great, well the guy is coming on the 11th so we will know wether it has a u bend or not

Lidls have a pump action drain unblocking kit on their "Specials Offers" this week, be ready.
The pump action looks as though could do double duty as a m/homers enema kit.
I think I should have posted this on the "Weight Saving Dual Duty Thread":idea:

Well I have dug about in the cupboards and drawer under the hob


This pic shows the grey drain that comes from the sink looks easy to block off


This shows some sort of trap from the sink to the wate tank

 

[Byronic]

Obvious I know but that definitely is a trap, with an unscrewable
cap to allow easy cleaning out or unblocking, some may not know
that.

It's an off the shelf type trap. I doubt Smev would provide that as a standard
fitment, because not everyone would need it. Not to say some generous retailer
wouldn't fit it to keep customers happy though!

Of course it's a discussion forum but I was just light heartedly pointing out the large number
of posts on what on the face of it is a simple matter of plug hole?, or no plug hole?,
what's best and what should I do about it. Struck me as funny anyway.... oh well.

It’s kept me amused for a couple of days and got a lot of great advice and ideas so keep smiling guys

The power of campervanannie and just mentioning false advertising all the eBay sellers that I rung over the past 3 days about wether the one they are advertising actually has the plughole shown in there advert appear this morning to have changed there pics including the German site

Glad you posted that I was wondering if I'd goofed.

Ok final update old hob out the pipe for the drain was solid black plastic not the flexy type and is clipped to a wooden Barton so to reinforce he added a couple of clips and filled the open end with some sealant so no smells and no leaks the new hob is in and all working well the guy did a full gas check and all is well, Mobile fitter repair man so he came to us took 50 mins charged £60 bargain so any one in Yorkshire requiring a motorhome mobile repair man he trades under Caravandan and I can highly recommend them.
