Hi

We have the above motorhome and need to double check  how we drain the grey water tank.  There is a handle on the end of a metal rod behind the rear drivers side wheel, is that the handle we use? 
As you can probably tell, we are new motorhomers! 

Cheers

Katy

Thanks for the follow up - I have signed up to the FB group and am waiting to be “let in”!

I have also emailed Prima/Bailey to see if they do any off the shelf solutions.

Failing that, my brainwave is to fit a 28mm connector into the existing waste dust cap and run a standard hose off that into a tap and/or container. It may leak a little at the outlet but most waste will be collected.

Only snag is that my dust cap seems to have fallen off somewhere so I am trying to buy a new one from Prima………I will revert with photos if it works.

This waste water dumping scenario seems to be the proverbial PIA  !!

All motor homes should have a simple suitable sized pipe (28mm), outlet design running from the lowest point of the tank to an external drain port which has a stainless steel 90 degree ball valve fitted by side of motor home frame work . when on site a suitable sized hose flex type or concertina type  could then be fitted to the (28mm), outlet port and fed to the service drain point on the pitch... Hence the valve is left open and waste water just drains directly and does not fill up the tank.. I have fitted one to my motor home and it serves well simple DIY stuff really... Or if needed you could get your service dealership technician to do it for you.

Or if you do not use a full service pitch with drain then you would have to use motor home site service drain ... But surely it is not beyond the manufactures to design the above.... Just seems to be a cost driven thing they all seem to have.  OR complete lack of understanding what the end user has to to do when on site... 

Hope the above helps spark some ideas for members and more importantly wakes up the manufactures accordingly..

Good luck everyone and be safe out there.....
