I always empty when full or just before leaving site as stated earlier just watch for the (GRAVY) some one loeft on the rinsing pipe press the vent button flush and thats it
my take on having your own toilet is use it for what its meant for, if you using just for water then you got a posh bucket with lid, and one thing using top and tail stuff ours has never stank, not using top it stinks.

Its all part of the rich tapestry of caravan life. Many years ago I worked on a Scout campsite that only had the old elsan buckets and we had to carry them to the cess pit to empty them. From some of the toilet blocks is was a good quarter mile. Lovely job to do specially on a hot day....................................I leave it to your imagination. So, after that, dealing with a nice sealed thetford cartridge is no big deal

Give the loo a quick flush before hand. It helps to stop the plop sticking to the sides. Cleaning the 'inside' of the loo could be worse if it's not your own. LOL

Better still, cris cross the bottom of the toilet with toilet paper and it plops straight in nicely wrapped up with no marks on the sides.

I can remember rallies where the only toilet facilities were a hole in the ground with a lat ( latrine ) tent around it, a shovel & pile of soil outside, with CYDA from THE C &CC.
