Waste Water Containers

I am using the standard wastemaster roll along waste container. There was always a problem with this as there is a mismatch between this and the 40 litre aquaroll, so unless you drink 5 litres the wastemaster fills first.

However  I am invariably finding that due to the slope on sites I can only use the lower of the two inlets. This means the capacity of the tank is reduced and must be only about 25 litres.

I am looking for a solution to this problem! has anyone come accross a better tank, ideally one with a bigger footprint but lower in height so that it will fit under the waste outlet.

    Where are your water outlets, are they on the back of the van? We have never had this problem, ours are on the side. We just use the wastemaster on the down dip side and feed into it with the flexi tube. We have never yet not been able to use the high level
    entry.

    Wastemaster is 38 litres. There is only one inlet, one outlet, and one vent.  If the ground slopes upwards away from the van, shove the Wastemaster underneath, or get a longer bit of hose. Never had any problem and I use two of them.

    The 'Royal' waste tank holds 40 litres. But as you say, sloping sites may prevent it filling completely. On the plus side, that much water weighs around 90b/ 41kg which is heavy to tug to the disposal point. So maybe your will benefit from reduced contents.

    Our wastemaster has 3 capped inlet/outlets and we have never found that it fills up before our fresh water container needs filling, I always chock up the handle/lower end an take it to waste water point with the watering can i use to top up fresh water barrel
    (which is 60ltr)

    The Wastemaster has two inlets, one at full capacity and one for reduced capacity, it clearly does not need a vent as it is open at the filler

    If the wastemaster is under the van facing downhill, which is where it needs to be how do you haul it out when it is full

    How can the use of a waste master be so complicated ?

    Which ever end is suitable for your drain pipe , ie solid or flexible.....  use it , yes if on a slope chock it !

    I'm not sure why it needs to go under the van. Unless the side to side slope is very severe. We have only come across this once in 12 years of caravanning. In that instance I put a longer bit of tube under the van and had the wastemaster on the other side.
    Otherwise, if the slope is front to back / back / front, as our outlets are on the side, the wastemaster goes either to the left or right of them, fed by a short length of flexi hose.

    We never find the Wastemadter overflowing before the aquarol runs out but as the difference is only 2 litres and SWMBO drinks tea like a fish it probably never will.
