Waste water on a serviced pitch

Suggestions please.

This year we would like to dispense with the waste master on serviced pitches and feed directly into the gray water drain. All the waste piping I have found is too small to fit over the van waste outlet.

Do I have to buy a reducer or is there waste pipe out there that would fit over the existing waste outlet.

Thanking you in anticipation of responses.

I made a reducer to clamp onto the waste pipe. it is a rubber
spacer from an awning pole end and an adjustable pipe bend

Is that your awning carpet in the picture? My word, it is posh.

Water garden suppliers may be a good place to source the pipe and connectors.

We don't have such luxuries but when on the site in Devon a week or so ago which was fully serviced ptitches, an eldery (more than me) couple viewing the site with a view to coming in from one near Newton Abbott, asked me where do you empty the toilet. I pointed him down the slight slope to the Elsan cubby hole and he was quite shoked that he had to cary or trail it down. I said that was the only place I knew of. He muttered about some fullyserviced pitches are different to others and wandered on.
I thought about it, slightly puzzled for a while and I think he meant where do you empty the grey waste, which of course on every pitch had a well designed and well disguised soil pipe combined with the pitch marker. It was so neat as to be out of sight. I assume he asked the same question when discussing with the site owners before he left.

Most premium pitches have a fresh water supply and grey waste disposal but we have had pitches
where there are capped elsan disposal points for motorhomes, not for caravans for which there was
the normal "central" elsan point.

Awning pole suckers with the dish section cut off for waste pipe conversion see my previous post #2

These are available for around £1.50 ea. at most accessory shops.

He might have been better off in a bed and breakfast, or even to have stayed at his own house.

I've never quite got my head round the mindset of people for whom caravanning is all about towing a slightly smaller version of their house (complete with half scale copies of all their appliances) to a neatly-trimmed field where they can just plug it in and do all the things they normally do at home.

I often wonder if these people - these people who seem to have forgotten what a sense of adventure is - are actually having fun when they're vacuuming the awning carpet or washing the car, because a lot of the time all they seem to do (other than not talk to each other or anyone else) is complain about stuff.

Hey ho.

Each to their own and all that.
