(54) | Device for draining recreational vehicles |
(57) The system according to the invention for draining sewage from vehicles (14) comprises:
a) a transit surface (102) on which vehicles (14), such as coaches or campers, can
pass and stop; b) a collecting tank (1) arranged on the transit surface (102) and
comprising in turn a collection area (100) arranged to collect and contain sewage
drained from the vehicle (14) located above the same collection area. The collection
area has such a size that it extends over at least half the predetermined maximum
width (Lmax) of the vehicle. A vehicle can transit above the collecting tank (1) with
at least one wheel resting upon the collection area. This facilitates the manoeuvres
for bringing the vehicle (14) to the draining position, and allows eliminating the
grids covering the draining area (14), as well as better cleaning and sanitising the
tank (1).
