hi all when you go to drain off you can bet some one is there for the duration parked up on the grey drain off so you can walk round the van with the thetford get the hose out for fresh but the waste water you can't get near.and some Aires are awkward to get parked up and like st vallery-en-caux which has a cattle grid cage over thus damaging your m/h like i did . it's just a garden pond pump pipe from garden centres it comes in different sizes to fit your taps mine is 3m long £2 a m. hope this helps someone .jud
Full credit to the Swift Group then as they supply a flexi pipe some of the vans. The flexi pipe also has an adaptor so it connects well to the motorhome.

Hymer also supply an extension pipe for the grey water, but there is another way if you can't get access or are too far away from the waste point to use this.
Empty your toilet first and then use the Thetford holding tank as your receptacle to transfer Grey water to the drain.
This is particularly relevant to some German M/H service points where the drain point is sometimes higher than your drain tap, ie Holiday Clean and Sani-Station.
Dead cheap at the local tip sorry "re-cycling centre" as nobody wants them.
I cheated when I sold my Hymer & kept the drain hose tee hee, if you dont have one I would suggest its well worth getting something to do the job as not all grey water disposal points are of the "drive over" type,

and if you get a straight connector for the pipe size your using and push this into the free end (that you would put down the drain when you have connected it to your van) you can then use this to join both ends together after coiling it up. keeps it neat and stops water dribbling out and smells
