I am having trouble finding the item I need with out knowing the name of it. I need the thing on the side of the camper where your sink drain drains out of. Most people hook up a hose and jug to it for the grey water from the sink to drain into. What is that called?? the thing you screw to the exterior of the camper.
Thanks, Mel

We were trying to find what to use as well, I believe they are called water drain flanges but we ended up using a $4 pvc cleanout cap and fitting, gonna do well for us. All ee have to do with that is slide the hose out into the bucket and then back into the camper when leaving. And cap off the opening. Not vintage but it works. I did see many nice looking ones for about $15. Just a matter of looking them up and seeing which one you like.

If this doesn't help you just disregard, but thought worth a shot! I figured it was a cheap option.

I know which piece you're talking about. I'll get a pic later today for you so maybe someone will know what it's called. We were lucky, ours came with a chrome one. Maybe original, not sure. Oops, now I see your new post. I thought you were talking about the long downspout part?

Mel, I left the original plumbing in mine. The pipe thread sticks out and it had a chrome trim around it that is a standard trim for pipes, like where they come in the floor from your house. I have the original vintage cap to mine but I do not use it. I just leave the part that connects to my drain on mine. The trim ring was like this. I can't remember what size, I bought a couple before I got the right one. The original had a chain screwed to it and attached to the cap.

So the part that is threaded in my photo is actually just then end of the drain pipe sticking out? with a flange over it?

But I really like the one that novrmyhed posted. But besides having a hose to fit on the outside, you'd have a proper connection of the right size from your plumbing pipe to the drain hole cover.
