Dave, I unhitched mine every time if only to give the suspension a rest.
Julia, if you're travelling with a nearly full waste tank you are carrying a lot of excess weight. A litre of water weighs a kilo so a full tank probably weighs about twenty kilos if not more!
Thanks Kenny, but l rarely carry any liquid in my toilet cassette, and even if we do, then its only from a couple of uses en route to the campsite. My worst experiance from a toilet gas 'explosion' was from a Thetford type toilet fitted to a river cruiser boat. The combination of the boats movement underway, the heat of a hot summers day, and the scarceness of emptying points for such toilets around our cruising area at the time, made or one heck of a mess splattering the contents over me as l went to slide the blade to flush the contents away. I have had this happen in the caravan, and with fairly low levels of fill, but luckily not to such a great extent as the boat inceident. We put this down to using cheap budget supermarket brand blue chemical not doing its job very well at the time, and have never used this brand again since. The fact that the heating duct in our caravan's bathroom blows right onto the side of the toilet base and the cassette within it, if we have the heating turned on fairly high for any length of time during cold weather has a similar effect on the contents as a hot summers day, which doesnt help the situation.
We use the CL network quite a lot for our pitch needs, and always ety the cassette every morning whilst on site. Theres only the two of us, so the cassette is seldom full, and we now only use the Thetford or Elsan brands of Blue chemical, no more cheap stuff, you only get what you pay for.
