Hi All, I have enjoyed looking over these forums while searching for a van, now I have a nice happy Spaceland, and I have just spent the weekend west of the Gold Coast testing it out. Ran into a couple of issues that need some tweaking. But the reason for my post.

I noticed a lot of vans in the showground I was staying at had these filter things attached to the end of their sullage hoses, I assume to catch things you wash down the sink, and stop little things coming back up the hose.

Any one know what they are called, or where I can get one?

Thanks
Greg

Greg, not sure which filters you are specificly talking about, but the sullage hose filter is a reasonable idea and often overlooked.

My wife made up a couple of little bags from a mesh stuff similar to mosquito netting. I tie one over the end of the sullage hose, then remove and empty contents into the rubbish every few days.

I use the same little mesh bags to put bait in for red claw, so always carry a couple.

Maybe you should put this to the caravaners forum.

Van forum

2nd forum

Then again you still may get an answer here.

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Man you had me worried.

I'd suggest you change your description to grey water hose filter - and reserve the term "sullage" for blackwater issues.

I was in apoplexy trying to imagine what sorta mesh filter you use on your blackwater sullage outlet! ;o)

You've made me fell ill - and it's lunch time - I just lost my appetite!

Some subjects just shouldn't be discussed in public...and sullage is one of them...

Cheers
