I use a "low tech" approach to collect the waste water in my 82 Vanagon
Westie.  I bought a small (3 or 5 gallon, I don't remember) water carrier
in the camping section of WalMart.  I use a short section of garden hose
screwed onto the drain of the sink, and just stick it into the can.  When
it is full I flush it in the bath house if in a developed campground or
take it to an RV gray water dump in a rest stop on the way home.  It works
for me anyway.
