We used to steward rallies often for the local Association of the C&CC and the first job was to dig the 'latty hole' unless a friendly farmer did it mechanically for us first. Then the last job of the weekend was to fill it in. That was the worst job for the men. (women had other jobs to do!!!)

Having to put up with the possibility of the odd pong is nothing compared with the moaning about "its alright for you, you dont have to walk half a mile for a wee, you can just go behind the van.........................."Use the loo for what it was meant for..........

it is the best part of a caravan, although saying that ours doesn't have one we have to use a porta loo, we used to have a Swift tho and that had a loo, but in all cases we only use them for wee's, they never smell as everyone else says, long as you put the blue stuff in! No way I could go back to my tent days with no loo, would always just snuggle down in bed and then feel the need to go

Here's some tips for using cassette loo's .

Don't shake the cassette too hard when emptying or when swilling out ( as this could damage the float mechenism ) .

Use cheapy loo roll as it breaks up easily , helps when emptying .

When emptying unscrew the cap and place it on the ground , don't place it on the edge of the waste chamber ( it could fall down the hole ) .

When the cassette full indicators say full don't try getting a little extra in , empty it .

Had to laugh at the 'only use it for wee's comments'. that was my rule until a particular nasty stomach bug hit at 3 am...............................................

Walk 200 metres in dark wet windy conditions and stay there for 3 hours, or break the rule? Hmmmmmm..........................

The wonders of our modern age, When I was a Lad.....as the saying goes, I had to walk 200 yards to a shared midden, That had to be shovelled out once a week into a cart and disposed of in a heap at the local farm,

And the toilet paper was torn up newspaper ( but not the Radio Times because that was to shiny!)

I must admit that since then times have moved on a bit with on suite etc but the task of emptying a chemical toilet is more pleasant that listning to someone filling it,

Regards,

George

yes it is a bit smelly, used mine for the last week for both and especially a no 2 after being on the ale. It is not a pleasant job but it has to be done. one thing I dont like is that in a normal loo you can "inspect your work" after a particularly satisfying dump as you crap straight into the tank you cant do that with the thetford :-)

If it's very full take it in the car drive slow and make sure you have something under it just in case it leaks.  Got to say wife always uses our's for everything and on rallys in the good old when kids were young we all did, never a problem ever and I don't give emptying it a second thought.  It's nice to do it every day though!
