Jim and all,

I have found that "oil change" black plastic containers sold in auto
parts stores .. Work great.

They come in various sizes and as a bonus could have a second use "oil
changes".

Also I have found that the "yellow" funnel attachment thing that comes
with them ..... Works great to catch the grey water without the need of
a plastic hose extension.

all roads lead to VW repair shops,

Jim,
I use one of those older red/white Igloo brand coolers that has a top
that pivots off to the side.  The handle is integral in the top.  I
rotate the top off and it "just" slides under my Westy.  When its full
(probably 2 1/2 gallons, I slide it out, pivot the lid shut so nothing
slops out and carry it to the appropriate disposal area.  Works slick
for me and was something I had.
