You can buy a key from tourist information and they will ask if you are disabled
if all and sundry are going to buy a radar key it doesnt give much hope for the disabled to have clean facilities
i am disabled and am grateful for the privlege of being able to use the specially adapted facilities
disabled facilities are not provided for the emptying of toilet cassettes

believe me, i would never leave any toilet in a state and i think neither would other members on this site. i only use them late in the evening when theres no one about who actually needs to use them.

Good point.
Perhaps the above could be added to the What NOT to do when wildcamping

TravelJohn Disposable Urinal - 3-Pack: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty

These Travel John disposable urinals are brilliant. We always used to carry them in the car when the kids were small before we had the camper - and they're great for festivals too!!!:giggle:

I've also used a She Pee (not very successfully though) :lol-053::lol-049::lol-053:

Go Girl Female Urination Device , Lavender: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty

Now that is too much information!!!

Gosh £5.40+ for 3 goes, that's a bit steep ... I use plastic 1.5 litre fruit juice bottles with scew top and wide neck. They are free and unlimited uses for wee. Maybe a plastic carrier bag for the other stuff... OK I know I am tight!

Yeah but you're a man - it's easy for you guys :lol-053:

You get two goes in each Travel John so brilliant value and worth every penny.
 
toilet key

just call into any shop that sells equipment for the disabled and they will sell you one.
my wife has 2 new hips, when i explained this, no problem.
we now have 2, 1 for the car and 1 for the van, solves the problem of leaving the key at home.

please note--- the price changes dependant on which town you live.
rip-off city (YORK) £4-79 :mad1:
middlesborough £3-50 :cheers:

happy travels ken

I agree with you.
I have recently had a run in with a motor homer who was in the disabled toilet emptying his casset when I wanted to use the toilet. He had the audacity to say "I wont be long mate". I told him in no uncertain terms that he was selfish and disrespectful and had no consideration for anyone else except himself. Iand I certainly wasnot waiting for him. He went balistic. But, he had made me wait, which is something I can't always do having Crohn's disease. He also left the toilet in **** state (literally)'
If all you people who are not disabled want to use the facilities provided for me and people like me then i suggest you also have our disabilities. Because in my mind you are all nothing more than low life.
 
Neither of us are registered as disabled but that does not mean we are fully able. I have just bought a Radar key, mainly because my wife is on crutches and will be for several weeks. We never leave ANY toilet in a dirty state, often much cleaner than it was. It would be a last resort anyway as I would use a normal cubicle, not a disabled one. I would certainly take advantage in quiet times to get some fresh water however.
 
Toilets

A usefull thread i go every morning at 6.30 .Trouble is i dont wake up till 7,00 .It started when i was a child and had to sleep with my brother who wet the bed my mum used to say which end do u want i used to say THE SHALLOW END.but it was nice wakeing up with the sun shineing through the window and a RAINBOW over the end of the bed.Any how as soon as i could afford it i bought him an electric blanket and he never wet the bed again. THANK YOU GOODNIGHT
 
reply about sanitary station

you will find one where you find a lock,. you have to buy a key from british water ways. in the past i worked a way from home & used these stations, which include toilets washing facilities, showers by meter,fresh water, & some where to dump your bucket.
what more do you need.

It's a shame that there is a selfish and thoughtless minority who are prepared to abuse the facilities provided for disabled people.
Hopefully RADAR will tighten up its
procedures when issuing these keys and ensure they are only given to people with a genuine disability.

Cashew

I'm sorry you had a problem with a motorhomer in a disabled toilet but it's a bit of a generalisation to brand all of us lowlifes, just because we might happen to take advantage of the disabled facilities when the "normal" toilets are locked.

In reality it would take far less time to empty a cassette than for a "proper" user to perform their bodily functions, and I'm sure you'd be more than happy to give someone time to do that, so the fact that you had to wait has little bearing on the situation.

As for leaving it in a poor state, did you see the cubicle before said motorhomer started emptying his cassette, because it's hardly fair to blame him for all the doings of the day unless you know for a fact that he was solely to blame.

Maybe if you'd have waited the few seconds it would have taken for him to finish emptying the cassette, rather than telling him how selfish he was, you'd have had use of the facilities sooner, rather than having to stand there with your legs crossed, while telling him his fortune

Live and let live is a good philosophy to adopt.
Would you have preferred him to have emptied it in the gutter?
 
It would be illegal to empty into the gutter, he would have to make other arrangements. The fact is these facilities are for the disabled. End of story really.

Yes, and car parks and laybys are for day trippers.
With the amount of caravan sites around why would anybody have the bare faced cheek to wild camp?

Surely we can all coexist without having to categorise things to the nth degree?

I don't think this is categorising to the nth degree. Do you also park in the disabled bays in supermarket car parks?

Surely we can all coexist by being more considerate?

No, of course I don't, but I may have to do so if all the other bays were closed to me after a certain time of day (i.e. like normal toilets being locked at night)

I agree, a bit of consideration goes a long way, but it's a two way thing, not a "this is mine and you can't have it, even when I'm not using it" attitude!
 
I'll agree to dissagree with you on this. Don't want to argue, just my view:D
