The toilet is there for using, so we use it.

If you use it correctly with the correct quantity of chemicals there should be no smell when emptying it.

We don't use van shower as it only has a curtain and it grabs you when you pull it round you.

We use both the van and site loos but we have a deal,the kids do the washing up i fill the water and empty the waste and loo and i get a cooked breakfast every day

Should not be any smell if the loo is set up properly.

Shower: We do use the shower in the van on occasions - usually when we stay on a site with water/drainage hook-up.  Where there is no water hoiok-up we tend to use the site showers.

Toilet: I use the facilities 'fully' - after all, it's me who empties it.  My wife and daughter tend to use the toilet block for no. 2's but will use the caravan otherwise.

I have to say that the toilet cassette on the Sancerre is by far the best toilet cassette we have ever had - easy to transport (on wheels with an extendable handle), and easy to empty.  Slightly smaller than earlier cassettes we have had, and therefore easier to handle.  I only empty ours after the light comes on, after which there is still space to use it before taking the trip to the CDP (or as I call it  '...... taking the dog for a walk'!)

Used our shower last weekend. Had to. And the loo for erm cough cough's. Booked into a CC site in Wales. Thought it was a bargain at £9 a night. On arrival we realised why. No facilities. The shower was great, switching off to lather up after initial shower, then on to rinse. Used hardly any water at all. Will certainly use such a site again. Was lovely. Thinking of a generator so we could go off-hook up also for longer periods.

Welcome to the world of CLs/ CSs

Yes it's great to go off the grid 

How about a solar panel instead of a genny 

Yes I am being selfish, cos'   these are the types of site I use

No smell ? you must be joking or I have an extra strong sense of smell.

Other people surely must notice that its whiffy too, or why are there so many people out there that refuse to empty it or won't use it for Number 2s except in emergencies .

I always use the correct dose according to the bottle.

We love CLs although I do like to have hook up and many have ehu these days so we dont have problems finding any. As you say, they are a bargain and most are in lovely surroundings (little research needed here but worth it!). Hard to find reviews on them, but thats understandable because once you find a good one, you keep it to yourself!!

My mum is disabled . We usually mention this when booking anywhere and they do tend to put us near the loos due to this. So during the day we use the site toilets and we do tend to use the site showers. We use our van loo during the night as it wouldn't be practical for mum to get to the site loos then. It also means I don't have to empty the cassette so much.

If the kids are with us and the site is busy they are allowed to use the van shower on condition they fill the aquaroll and empty the water hog afterwards
