Do you use your van loo for #2s or only #1s

we use our thetford for all methods, however,

what we do to help stop marks, is before we set off for the weekend I spray the whole bowl with a liberal dosing of silicone spray, was told this will not attack the plastic, will lubricate the seals and help whatever- slid down without sticking, so unless you've had a strong curry no real probs.

i also spray the bowl when back home and van is to b left between trips. worked on all my previous vans

what happened to using a toilet brush to keep it clean. you can buy small versions with a holder designed for the job.
 
Where can you buy these things please?

They are sold by a charity which I work for to our members. and all they need is the confirmation letter from D.L.A to get one.
You can also get them from Scope. R.A.D.A.R., And a few other charitiies.
All the charities buy them in the first place from RADAR and if RADAR hears of them being sold to people without proof of disability then they will stop supplying them to the outlet.
 
I agree. This is just abusing the system. I like to think that MH's can use facilities without attracting complaints from locals. This will do nothing to further our reputation in the eyes of others.

I'm sure we can find suitable toilet facilities without resorting to occupying those designed specifically for the disabled. Otherwise what's next? Might as well use the blue badge parking bays too I suppose. Hmm, don't think so.
 
We put a smelly binliner in the bowl & put it in a dog litter bin

It's a toilet so use it as one ,open the flat when in use, especially if you have a SOG the sensation is exquisite. any skiddies just wipe away with paper as you flush .SIMPLES.:danger::nospam:
 
My OH wants to know if all your OH's are equally happy to dispose of their poopeys in the same way as you guys are....... plastic bags, etc. ?

I've had a Radar Key for nine months and have never been able to use it, someone has changed all the locks.
Anyone can buy a Radar Key, you can get them from the Tourist Information Centre. Mine is lagit

I think some local councils use their own key for disabled toilets not Radar which is national, perhaps that is what you have got.

Urine is more than just human waste. It has many uses than most people can imagine. It can be processed to be potable drinking water, grease-stain remover, urea, gun powder, and white phosphorous. But in its purest form, urine can be the best and cheapest organic fertilizer. It has been used as a fertilizer since the earliest time. A recent study has proven also that plants fertilized with urine have more biomass and grow better than those fertilized with conventional alternatives. Urine’s effectiveness is due to its nitrogen, potassium, and phosphate, which are necessary for plant’s better growth.

Homemade Wag Bag
You easily can create your own Wag Bag using an interior/pickup bag, pre-packed with kitty litter if you wish, which functions similar to Poo Powder, and a larger, sturdy outer bag — think freezer-weight Ziploc. Heavy-duty trash compactor bags work as a Wag Bag trash bag. If bags don't seem sturdy enough, some people use a coffee can as their outer container. Tupperware with a snug-fitting lid that you're certain you no longer need in the kitchen would work, too.

Rangers at Mt. Shasta offer a user-friendly homemade kit to all their hikers, which includes an 11 x 17 sheet of paper with a bull's-eye printed on it for pickup. Just place the bull's-eye on your poo pile, according to White, and you'll have plenty of paper to wrap around it, avoiding all hand contact. Their kit also includes a one-gallon Ziploc bag and a sack with kitty litter. There are disposal receptacles at the trailhead, and hikers can pick up kits there or at area outdoor shops.

Users who make their own Wag Bags should note that homemade versions can't be tossed into landfills, as can EPA-approved commercial ones, like GO Anywhere, Biffy Bags, and ReStop.

“Wagging” Tips

Powders, like Poo Powder above, or kitty litter solidify waste and control odors.Best practices for using a wag bag come with, well, practice. Generally, when nature calls, you grab your bag kit, toilet paper, bag for used toilet paper, and hand sanitizer and head off to find a secluded area where people are unlikely to encounter your bare bottom. You squat and do your business. You then take your trusty wag kit, slip the inner bag over your hand and grab your poo pile. Be careful not to spill the poo powder or kitty litter inside (so picking up your pile with the top part of the bag is best).

Then, fully enclose the poo and make sure the powder or litter has covered it. In other words, become familiar with touching your warm feces through a layer or two of plastic. It's all part of hiking and climbing! Then, seal that bag inside the thicker, outer bag or stash inside your container of choice. Place your used toilet paper in the bag. Clean your hands with hand sanitizer.

OK. so I've taken on board all the interesting ideas about how to use your chemical toilet, but what about emptying it when it does get full?? How do we stand if we nip into the nearest public loo with the cassette, and empty it?? Is this allowed, or will we have to find sites every 2/3 days so we can use a proper Elsan point?

We have a Sog system on our current toilet, but are unsure how you use it. Any information would be very welcome!
 
Non disabled possession of a RADAR key is on a par with non-disabled drivers in disabled bays!
Councils are already closing public conveniences this will give them cause to do disabled loos as well.

I hope you're not pointing a finger my way, I spent a while in hospital to earn my key, and some of that was in a ICU

Well we all know able bodied people use 'blue badge parking bays' all the time and it is obvious reading this thread the same can be said about use of RADAR keys, people just do not appreciate what disabled people go through nor do they respect the disabled.

As for the loo, we do both, if there are facilities near by we use them rather than the loo in the van.
 
I'm about to set off on our first wild camping. I joined the C&CC in May, so we might stop at a few of their sites too. As a member, I've read that sites offer a 3 hour stopover for just over £6, where members can fill-up with water, empty waste tanks and use camp facilities (showers etc). For a family of four I think this sounds very reasonable and I'll try this out too. I don't think my wife, daughter and son would be very accomodating if I say, 'Excuse me, can you just s**t in this Asda bag'.......
