Grey water container

Post by Sleedale »

I try to be clean and tidy, and always use a waste/grey container under the van when camped/pitched. Currently it's a black, rigid 25l or so with red caps on the side and top. It works. It's fine but it's too bulky and takes up valuable space when travelling. I've been searching for a pack able alternative but can't find one. Any ideas out there? Had thought about a collapsible bucket but don't think it'd fit under the van.

We use a collapsible bucket - fits under ours easily.

I just use a bucket - the daughter made it collapsible by leaving it underneath before I drove off!

The Mark 1 black plastic bucket works for me too. I have adapted a betterware drain cover to put on top. :ok

Took a trip up to our 'local' caravan place and bought a twisty collapsing 11l bucket. Brilliant. Much better than the huge black rigid container. Trying to make things small to save space. Thanks for this :ok

I made several small things but they grew up to be big things!

We use a collapsible water carrier. Outlet pipe fits nicely into it, carrier squashes down as needed to get under the fine and for minimal space when travelling.
