I can't imagine anywhere in the world that's not on your on private property where you would be welcome to dump greywater these days. Soem campgrounds are even very restrictive about the plumbing on greywater tanks, requiring that air vents need to extend to the roof of the vehicle, etc. I've tried a variety of things and the best and most convenient, at least for me, is the blue 10-gallon poly greywater/blackwater tanks from the RV store. They have wheels which help you accurately aim for the drain when you have to empty it. I use a short piece of clear tubing between two brass garden hose fittings to go from the outlet to the tank. Use clear tubing so you can troubleshoot plumbing problems quickly. There are some very nice, permanently-mounted (and expensive) solutions from Germany that you see on the net from time to time, but you probably need to move the propane tank on a westy to under the sliding door to be able to use these tanks.
