We use a simple household plastic bucket and dump it when full. At RoundOak site last week they told us to spill it onto the grass as it needed water - easy, it's only waste from the sink
We also have a red bucket for fire and that stands outside.

I have a container under the sink in my 310 for the fresh water and a submersible pump. How do I connect a waste water container? At the moment, a small pipe comes through the floor of the van and protrudes for about 3cm. I place a bucket under that and it collects the waste from the sink. Am I missing something here?

No, you're not missing anything. Eribas are very basic! The waste-water container goes where your bucket goes, with the small pipe pointing at the hole in the container. I forget the capacity of my Fiamma, but I think it's just short of 30 litres. Given that your freshwater container is most probably 13 litres, and what goes in comes out, you can reckon on emptying the grey water once for every two fills of fresh.

EDIT: Poptop320 says (in the second post in this thread) that their Fiamma holds 23 litres of grey water, so my two-to-one estimate might be a bit tight.

I carry a couple of short lengths of trachea-like plastic hose that I push over the sink outlet and then put into the hole in the grey water container depending on relative floor/ground heights.

I also joined the washbasin and sink wastes under the caravan so I only need one container. Originally they were separate.

On sites with facilities you will produce very little waste water.

That sounds like a good idea. Can you remember where you bought it?

We have the wastemaster now though we had the black one with the red screw tops to begin with........getting a bit 'long in the tooth' for carrying anything heavy now so wheelies suit us down to the ground. The wastemaster has 2 openings to cater for different heights....very good and easy to empty. It's horses for courses I guess.

This is beginning to sound like an Eriba related topic but how did Aaron connect both waste outlets to one container? Our layout puts the sinks on opposite sides. Would love to have just one waste container.

You have to install some pipework under the van.

Obviously a bit of a stupid question but then I thought this friendly forum was open to just such questions. I will log off and go outside , lie under my lovely Troll and work it out myself!

Something like this:-

using a "Y" connector near the outlet to the container.

Hello Mrs A.

Ours has both wastes connected. I can help you sort this out. We'll have the van over here in the next couple of weeks or I could possibly meet you at Berrow so you could have a look to see how ours is done.

In the meantime, put that viper's tongue of yours away

Our washroom basin is located on the left side and the sink is at the front right side. All I did was to connect the two outlets together with 'trachea-like' waste tubing and the appropriate connectors all held to the chassis with cable ties.

You can see the way it's bodged from the picture below. Yes, I know that the falls are not constant but it works. The washbasin is on the extreme left and the sink outlet is the blue thing on the extreme right. Depending on ground level and levelled caravan floor height, I either put the container under the outlet as it is or slide an appropriate length of the same tubing onto the outlet and put it into the hole in the grey water container.

And, yes, I have on occasions lost the extension inside the container and it does take a bit of fiddling about to get it out.

Like me, Mr Hobgoblin, you are getting a reputation for your rude and unhelpful attitude. Maybe you are spending too much time in Yorkshire and it's rubbing off on you? Given longer exposure to our uncouth Northern ways you might end up as horrid as that Monsieur le Pew. Well, it's something to aim for.

Sorry Hob. You were trying to help and I am a bad tempered old Troll. It sounds pathetic and I hate being girlie about this but anything that involves modifications more sophisticated than a jubilee clip, send me into a complete wobble. I will try and man up!
