Lambie and I went down to the big green shed to spend yet another penny today.
Were greeted with a big good morning as we enter the shed, Good morning back we say.
Were asked if we need help ( Where always in need help.) After some grey water hose for our caravan. Sorry try a Caravan place. We walk down to the Plumbing section. Were after some grey water hose with 33mm ISD for our Caravan. Follow me, and off we go. Here you go Five Mtr Ten mtr or 20mtr sir...... Nar mate 33mm ISD.... Nup only 25mm mate.
Sorry.
This old girls on a stick grabs hold of Lambie I know what you want follow me. I said to Lambie does she know what were taking about. (Only takes five minutes to get to the other end of the store.
This what your after. They have Grey water hoses with collars and joiners to fit as well. WELL I BE BUGGERED. How did you know this Mame. She replied I come in here nelly every day.
I love the place she said! You will find them opportsite the garden hoses.
In our Avan - for 'serviced' sites we HAD a 'standard' 10m sullage hose - after several years of use, the Camecsullage hose 'work hardened' and gradually lost all its flexibility and became very hard to roll - when trying to roll the hose up into its carry bag, the hose had a tendency to split rather than bend - after fitting 4 new 'break joiners', I had enough - the hose has been discarded.
I found a replacement at Bunnings - a 10metre long light grey 32mm Holman sullage hose (meant for laundry waste water disposal) - it comes with a flexible 32/25 reducer coupling, which fits nicely over the vans 25mm underfloor sink outlet as a firm friction fit. I bought 2 extra 32mm slip-on couplings, and cut the hose in half, then one piece in half again. I can now use 2.5m, 5.0m, 7.5m or 10.0m lengths to suit the site drain position. The hose is nice and flexible, however the only downside is the inside is corrugated rather than smooth, so it has to be flushed more fully before storage when packing up. The best bit, it is less than half the cost of the Camec hose - even if I only get 2 years out of it, I can discard it and go and buy another for minimal cost.
