Hi, our grey waste had nothing to drain a few days ago, after 2 showers so I suspected a leak, then saw one. It's been so cold, wet n windy and we're still away on Lewis, so I've only just had a proper look.
The gw drainpipe is missing a big chunk where it joins the tank. I've dried n Duct-taped it, but would like to know if this pipe is likely to be a std plumbing fitting so I could get a replacement corner joint and hopefully fit it myself? Autotrail 2006 if that helps.

Usually standard plumbing stuff.... Sizes are often marked on any bends/taps etc...

Replacement is usually easy (very often solvent weld joints)
Don't get caught out by pipe that's gone brittle with age though

Great, thanks, I think that's probably the case as it's a weird place for a break, maybe we've knocked the whole pipe on a bump. Need to retake this morning so will do pik.
 
Mine frequently slips off as it seems to only be a push fit. Think I will investigate putting a jubilee clip on it.
Also I am surprised that the drainage pipe leading to the tap on both grey and fresh tanks seems longer that it needs so I have to grapple under van to straighten it in order to get water flowing when draining.
I think I need to be brave and shorten, anyone else experienced this, I can’t imagine my 2017 bessacarr is an odd one out, in this regard!!!!?

I think mine's well stuck on. It's solid grey plastic, just like a house kitchen or bathroom drain pipe. It was too cold n dirty last 2 nights. Embarrassing leak in the ferry queue this morning, but will be home tomorrow so will check the pipe size n see if my local garage can be sweet talked into letting me use their pit, or do the work if I'm really lucky....
