I Despair!!!

[Harrytherid]

Oh my use of the word has been changed to £$%^. I wonder why. I is a perfectly valid word comes between shirt and shiver in my Concise Oxford dictionary but they only describe the action not the result though it does not appear in Chambers which is older.

yes merl you are sooo right. Everyone gets mad at the easy target and we easy targets must be good to combat that, and one DH messes it up so easily. but don't forget the toilet free zones in many campers not just cars and why is it that so many MH owners only piddle in theirs. Where do they do the £$%^ (there I have said it)? Are they able to hold it in for days until they come across a public toilet. We use ours as we use the ones at home, OK it means more disposal and that is why I have three cassettes. One is hardly ever used but it is insurance.

Many like us bag and bin it Harry, mostly we're up and away by 8-8:30 and use public loos, if we are near a loo we tend to use it so we don't have to pee or poo in the van and if we do it's not into the cassette.

I would get a very dusty answer if I suggested such a thing to my wife who usually has not got in the shower by then.

For me it's the fact that the bloke is a motorhomer that gets my back up, we don't need the bad press.
Ideally the penny will drop with local authorities and they'll realise that it's car owners without facilities that leave £$%^ (literally) lying around on beaches and beauty spots and start allowing/promoting MHs access to aires and parking. A DH like him seriously hinders our cause and what we love to do.

Merl, what you say makes perfect sense.
let’s take a wee visit to any seaside town, any popular tourist attraction, any honeypot. When we get there start counting the amount of cars parked all over the place, and travelling through congested roads. Once we have came up with a figure then count the amount of big white plastic boxes we affectionally call motorhomes. I bet we will find that cars outnumber us by at least 30 to one, and I will also bet that we get far more negative attention paid to us by the local nimbys.
They wander about their honeypot locations almost oblivious that they are swamped by cars, and if one piece of human excrement is found on a beech or anywhere else, who will they blame, and who will listen to them, the idiots fearful of being kicked out next local election for not listening to them. As for the penny dropping, I would not depend on it, because that takes lateral thinking, common sense, and clarity of mind, things lacking in those running most of our local councils.

It's not for everyone Harry, I just responded to your comment.

 

[Harrytherid]

I dont understand why folk dont use the van loo, thats what its for, anyway when i get a warning of impending newclear launch which is about 5 mins before the event giving folk time to don the apropreate anti blast clothing and breathing apuratus.

Many reasons, I struggle to lift it if it'd anything like nearly full, then it has to be carried and carefully poured somewhere so you don't end up wearing the contents, Liz can't as she has bad arthritis in her hands and wrists. then there is a lack of places to empty and clean it before putting it back in the van. it's also an awful job so if we can avoid it we do, and we can, so we don't.

Mine never gets even half full, I empty at home in the workshop, never rince it just all new lump of bio tab, yes it would be heavy if full, we tend to use cafe loos or shop ones when out, just use the van in an emergency or long trips or in mountains where no loos, just some sheep to wipe your bum.

all lumped in together campervans with no facilities & gin palaces with full en suite are classed the same, we have the difference between first timers or rentals not knowing the normal etiquette & experienced campaigners with a second cassette & deploying a pee bottle , a family of 4/5 the cassette would only last one day whereas others could last ten days , can’t begin t9 count the amount of times i’ve seen car visitors disappear into the sand dunes with a toilet roll !

You can get Thetford with wheels and a handle on of course I have the old bench style long one. They are huge. The old one didn't have wheels but I replaced it with one that has last year. Loads better.

 

[trevskoda]

Take one of those we granny carts in the van for moving the cassette to a dumping place.
