Hi,
My first thread and I am not good at technical so appologies in advance if I have have said something incorrectly.
We have a 32ft tiffen breeze and always finish up at carvinick park in Cornwall if we go for any amount of time as they have black waste outlets on all pitches.
We want to tour the uk more but need to dump the black waste and whilst a lot of sites advertise fully service pitches this does not include black waste.
Can anyone advise sites that will take black waste, the more sites the better as we now need to use this lovely vehicle.

Some sites have a lift up manhole for dumping waste, i.e. Chester fair oakes CMC. There are many others too. A macerator is a must with a USRV, I think, then you can dump waste into the archaic off the ground dumps, also you can dump uphill and 20 something meters away. You should have enough capacity to last a few days. Some motorway services also have dumps to service coaches. If there is a toilet block, there will be an inspection chamber outside with a lift up lid.

Most sites can accommodate black and grey waste into a manhole, we can go for up to two weeks without dumping being careful, but 10 days is the norm for us, I have never had less than seven days even with small RV's with small tanks, just ask before you book I carry two 15' sewer hoses with a connector also if worried fit a macerator with 50' of hose tough we have used ours once in the last twenty years.

We use macerator only if we have to as tanks don’t get that sudden rush without using the 3 “ hose. We have 45 gallon black and grey that will last easy tend days. Think abot a 50 gallon drum who can fill that with “ahem” stuff in a few days;)

The majority of sites have low level black dump waste.We carry a Fiamma type waste master so if need be we empty the black into it and go for a walk......usually three of four times !!(y).
By the way.....We're in Somerset with a 32' Tiffin Breeze.........Spooky !!!!;).

Thank you, the Fiamma is a great way of having the freedom to be able to go anywhere now without the worry. Do you live in Somerset or just passing through? We live in Wellingon and have had the Tiffin from new and love it. Can now start to spread our wings and visit the rest of the UK and who knows hopefully Europe thanks

I used my macerator for the first time in France and all I can say with all my knowledge gained so far its a two man job
One person to opperate the macerator at the RV end and a second person to hold the end that bites.
I didn’t heed this advice and tried it on my own only to find the end of the hose got loose and spat venom everywhere.

We have a macerator but have never used it, if it’s going to go wrong it will, and the thought of the repercussions !!

Yes I think the macerator will only be used at the last resort , the tanks sound better

At the business end I connected a wash machine outlet hose flexible but rigid enough to hold without kinking

If you only want to use sites that’s fine. All the tips here will work fine. We rarely use a site. Britstops and Park4night and Search for Sites give us weeks of fun. When we need to empty tanks, a kind word to a Britstops landlord and job done. Get a couple of manhole lifters and levee bars off eBay. Also a socket set as some manholes are bolted down and it saves the landlord finding their tools. Also some garages are very helpful.
Ah the wild wild life.
All the best.

A lot of C&CC sites will let use their dumping facilities for around £8 for a few hours so you can do the washing and have showers etc
Europe is easier to dump..

you do have to be a member of the c&cc though, I ring our local ccc site to arrange a mutual time usually midweek, i wouldnt want to cause inconvieniance by being there when they are busy - eg fri,sat,sun
the c&mc do not allow you to use facilities in the same way
