I have an Eldiss Affinity just 12 months old. On arrival on site back in May, quick set up and coffee then washed the mugs up....a shout from outside was "there is water pouring out from around the wheel arch."  To my horror the waste pipe from the sink
had come off. it is not possible to repair as the sink is over the fridge which is enclosed between wood panels either side, the oven on one side and drawers the other. Solution is the fridge has to come out. On return home my retailer repaired it, all looked
good.

I arrived last week in Cornwall and found the pipe has come off again, something must be moving in transite to cause it to come off. no chance of me repairing it on site.  This time the storage under the oven is flooded out and the carpets soaked. I am spending
2 weeks having to take everything to the washing up area, every cup of tea, ever time I need the tea pot emptying....an absolute pain.

Has anyone had this problem and what solutions have you or you repairer found. any help please.

    Our sink drain pipe detached itself under the sink, but with a bit of contortion we were able to push it back. Our dealer glued it in place with Sikaflex, a standard caravan adhesive.

    Sorry can't help with a long term solution. However in the short term firstly try using a plastic bowel that will fit your sink and dispose of the water around the hedges or secondly what is wrong with using the basin in the bathroom
