Colapz Collapsible Waste Pipe System for Caravans and Motorhomes
Product description
What it is
Colapz presents a collapsible, flexible and extendable waste pipe system designed for caravan and motorhome service pitches. The kit comprises 8 x 50cm flexible pipes that can be linked to form a single 8m length of grey waste pipe, plus a carry bag and a cleaning brush with a 1m pull-through chain. The design emphasises portability and compact storage, addressing common headaches with traditional long waste pipes.
How it works
Each 50cm pipe links together via a push-fit connection, allowing you to extend from 0.5m up to 1m per segment and ultimately create an 8m run. The system is intended to connect to standard caravan waste outlets (29.5mm) with an adaptor available to fit 19mm to 50mm diameter pipes. The kit also includes a brush to help keep the pipe clear, and all components pack away into a dedicated carry bag for easy transport.
What stands out
On the page, the standout feature is the collapsible, modular design that eliminates the need for ungainly, rigid sections and the challenge of storing long pipes. The ability to add extra 1m pipes and a range of adapters optionally enhances its adaptability to different setups. For those prioritising space-saving gear, the kit’s compact storage and portability are meaningful advantages.
Who it’s for
This kit is suited to caravan enthusiasts, RV owners, or anyone who frequently services a site pitch and wants a practical waste-disposal solution that travels well. It may appeal to users who value straightforward installation and the option to extend their kit with additional pipes or accessories.
When it makes sense
Consider this system if you’re looking to replace or supplement a traditional waste pipe with something more portable and easier to store. It makes sense for those who regularly set up and pack down at sites and want a flexible length that can adapt to varying pitches.
What to check before buying
- Compatibility: confirm the adaptor covers the pipe diameters you typically encounter (19mm to 50mm) and whether you need the extra connecting pipes for longer runs.
- Storage and transport: assess if your current vehicle space accommodates the carry bag and eight pipes when collapsed.
- Cleaning and maintenance: the included brush and chain help with maintenance, but ensure you’re comfortable with regular cleaning to prevent blockages.
- Build expectations: while the design reduces storage hassle, ensure you’re not reliant on a perfect seal in every setup, real-world connections may require careful fit.
Practical use scenario
Imagine arriving at a site with a modest service pitch. You pull out the 8 x 50cm segments, link them to your required length, connect to the waste outlet with the adaptor if needed, and tidy everything away in the carry bag after use. A quick clean with the brush and you’re ready for the next leg of your journey. It’s not a miracle fix, but the system aims to speed up setup and teardown while reducing the clutter of long piping.
FAQ
- Is the adaptor included for 19mm to 50mm pipes? An adaptor is available as an accessory to fit those ranges.
- Can I extend beyond 8m? Extra 1m pipes are available to add to the kit, allowing further extension if required.
- How easy is it to store? The kit is designed to collapse into a compact form and come with a carry bag for organised storage.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritise portability and modularity in your caravan servicing setup. It may not be the best choice if you require rigid, all-in-one piping or if your pitches consistently demand alternative drainage configurations that the adaptor doesn’t cover.
