I use a collapsible water container with a piece cut from a garden hose.

When I set up for camping I pop the water container into shape ...
attach the hose to the sink drain and set the thing under the van with
the hose going inside.  It's easy to then carry it to a place for
disposal and the container folds flat for easy storage.  I believe it
holds about 5 gallons.

I got mine at Wal*Mart's camping section and I'm sure that just about
any place that sells camping equipment and accessories would have them.

It seems like I paid less than $5.00 for it.
