Outlet should be labelled, as should the fresh water inlet. Have you tried pouring a small quantity of water down the kitchen sink?

Hi Thanks. I found it after crawling around under the Van, big tank under the rear end with a long rod attached to a Thetford/gate style valve.
Not sure how I empty that though?
maybe there's a special fitting for it to connect to a hose?
As a Newb its a steep curve; Ive just found the mains cut out behind a drawer under the sink, not the best place I think being near water but!

You can either position the vehicle directly over a waste point or buy a length of RV Sewer Hose and connect it up before pulling the release gate.

Complicated as you need a site with a discharge grid to drive over. Queues can form as such locations.

I should have added that RVs (the big ones) carry drain hoses in a large tubular container fixed across the back.

My Fiat based Glen 690 is just under 7m long. I'm gonna look and see if it has any other (hopefully smaller) fittings on the sides which I can utilize and run it through a hose 25/32mm possibly.
Thank all for your input

Some new foreign built motor homes still have the drain the same as yours. Not a problem in France etc where most drains are drive over channels. Many have modified them to give a side exit.
