How long is a piece of string?!

Looking for general advice from anyone with experience please. We often use 'super' pitches, but usually just collect our grey water in the conventional container, and dispose at the appointed location. This year however, we want to buy a length hose, to
link the caravan to the water waste disposal point on the pitch. My question is, how long would you recommend that the hose should be, just every site seems to have the drainage point in different loctions! Looking to get an idea of what others have found
to be an average length? Clearly it depends on where your waste water exits the caravan (ours is near to wheel arch, so half the length of the caravan)

    Not that I use many super pitches, but I have a few lengths of waste pipe and join them if need be with a push fit waste connector

    Whatever length you get, it will be a foot short.

    3 x 6 foot lengths with connectors would suffice for most wast connections

    We carry 6m of rigid waste, and the 6m of the old bendy waste pipe we had originally.

    I cut the rigid pipes into 2 x 1.5m and 3 x 1m, they fit in the front locker.   Then I have an assortment of connectors and bends to join them to make a suitable layout.

    Plus I made some X supports in wood to enable a smooth gradient to the drain to be achieved.
