    “Night-time visits” are problematic, whatever the circumstances.

    Without wishing to be indelicate (but this IS an “assistance site”, after all!) gentlemen are ably assisted by apparatus for night-time urination – just search Google or see the link below.  Ladies needs are more problematic and, being the gentleman that I am, I’m not even going to go there…!

    So that’s that problem sorted!

    Now the drain….   Positioning the Exsis more or less EXACTLY over a drain was not always easy.  Plus having to open the ‘boot lid’ to reach the tap each time, was a bit of a fag.  My solution was to use a plastic in-line on/off tap on the drain outlet and then a 45 to 60cm (18″ to 2ft) length of bendy convoluted hose.  The hose should be fixed so that it easily swivels (Jubilee clip, not too tight?).   The hose normally rests, bent up and parked behind the rear bumper moulding and is only pulled out when needed.

    Park as near to the drain as possible, the hose is then pulled out from behind the bumper and located into the drain.  When positioned, just turn the tap fitted to the hose extension ‘on’ and Presto!  Afterwards, just turn the tap to ‘off’ and bend/swivel the hose back up under the bumper.

    Good luck!
