Smev Hob

Pudsey Bear said:
You need to do a better search before buying, send seller a message to be sure, but as it's from Germany (apparently, but says Durham) it should have the hole, as for cutting a new hole, I would not advise that unless you know someone with the right size swaging tool to drop the surface down, for the waste/drain, you would also void your warranty.

I won’t be cutting a hole in it but they nearly all show the drain hole but when you talk to them on the phone they all say the same thing that it’s an old photo and cannnot get the one with the drainhole.
And to be honest I am so p!ssed off with the whole fecking about the service you get from these sellers is sh!te.

Yes I know I was robbed but I went for the £329 one because I thought it had a plughole so in effect it was false advertising but can I be arsed with the returning process we will see tomorrow when I speak to the guy who sold it to me again and see if he gives me a refund for the cheaper model.

I'm not sure if this helps, Annie but I did a quick search for hobs suitable for campers and found:

Smev 8023 Dometic PI8023 Hob


It shows a drain hole and campers (as opposed to mohos) often have a combined cooker/drainer. They're shut at the moment so I can't phone them for you. Please let me know if you'd like me to do so tomorrow.

Sorry Colin but that is the guy I bought it from and I am at the moment trying to negotiate a discount as he has sent me a cheaper model plus the extra fitting cost to blank off the drain pipe he is going to ring me in the morning.

Ah. And I thought I'd made progress. Oh well.
Do let me know if I can help in any way, Annie.

I thank you all for your valiant efforts but it seems a lost cause but not having a drain hole is not the end of the world I will have to live with a cheaper version 😂😂😢😢

you should be able to use one of these punches successfully on SS metal ... Q.Max Sheet Metal Punch - 20mm QMA20M: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Annie, I have linked to a 20mm one which will be too small of course, but there are lots of different sizes. If the hole size required is 30mm then I have a couple of these punches and could lend you one. Just need allen key and socket wrench to use.

They are for punching holes in mild steel, but don't let that stop you trying on a £300+ brand new hob.
They are mainly used by electricians cutting holes in containment.

Worry not I would not be doing that anyway punching or drilling holes in a £330 Hob is senseless.😉
 
Lol Annie been pish in myself reading this thread I found myself reading you’re replies in my head with an angry Yorkshire accent wonder if anybody reads my posts with a Scottish accent in there heeds😜😂😂🤣
 
Lol I read with the accents of folks I have met Wully.

I didn’t even know that you could get a bob with a drain hole in it, ours is like your new one Annie. They must work as a drainer but I would have thought it more likely to cause problems constantly having water dripping on the burners?

Hope you get it sorted out before you blow :)

I do Wully and I don't understand a bloody word I'm saying!
 
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. 😡🤬

It's not a risk. If gas was to run down it would be stopped at the first "u" bend. And if there was no U bend before the waste tank, you would know about it from the stink.

By "u" bend, you mean "trap". Unfortunately in motorhomes these are usually only
effective whilst stationary, as soon as you move the trapped water seal soon
spills out, result no effective trap and usually a stink from the tank.
Gas could be lurking down there in the tank. Time for another gassing thread methinks.
 
Much Better Plan .....

As long as you earth the bucket that the spare electrons drop into from the drainer you should be safe though.

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.
