Backpack to hold thetford cassette. (2 Viewers)

[daventess]

Anyone recommend a backpack that can fit a bog cassette in (min. 46x32x25) ? You can;'t just enter those dimensions into amazon et al, it seems.

I'm guessing you can't just carry them into a motorway service station ...

edit - ok, found some wheelie cases. Is that more or less suspicious than a backpack?

Backpack would mean carrying it upended which i wouldn‘t fancy…

I use a shopping bag for life for covert dumpings

Hmm.. that's a good point ...

Sure I once read somewhere of an IKEA bag being used.

I use a shopping bag with wheels. I don't think I could carry a full cassette on my back.

How far can you stagger holding 20kg, effectively a bag of cement, in one hand? That's what you would be trying to do stealth dumping your full cassette in a holdall type thing. Most will need a wheeled thing, or have strong backs for a rucksack (hoping there is no leakage).

Id use a 4 wheeled hardcase suitcase

It‘s good exercise , but the hard bit is achieving it without grimacing

Have you ever been stopped by customs?

I wasn't planning on taking it abroad with me! It's not even tinned...

You mean a granny trolley

I guess this applies mostly to those who don’t pay for a site, why not just use a site every few nights

For me it's a very last resort. I'll always use a site where possible.

I can’t think of anything much worse than emptying in a public toilet, cheeky beyond my morals . I wouldn’t do it in my bathroom , this just seems wrong somehow

I was under the impression that if you are not using chemicals, emptying into a public toilet (eg motorway) was fine? Happy to be corrected...

I suspect if you ask first you will always be told no, but do you think the smell left behind is fair? Also very hard to dispense without some spillage, that’s why elsan points are usually so wide

Poured it down my own without any spillage, so I know I can do that.

Smell - mine smells of that Elsan Green, I think that smells better than a motorway toilet in general.

As for asking - that I do agree with. And I wouldn't do it without permission in a private place. But a motorway service station? Unless it actually causes a problem or is illegal, I suppose my question is - what's the problem?

Genuine question, I'm not trying to be argumentative.

Many who "stealth dump" have a principle of leave it cleaner than you found it, so they also pack their cleaning kit. Even so person in next cubicle may be a little surprised by lengthy gushing noise.

Issue with stealth dumps is mainly if the public loo is on a full mains drain system going to a full water treatment plant. If to a smaller local sceptic tank or even a local packaged treatment system your stealth dump could well break it.

Would a motorway service station likely be like that, though?

What about a mobility scooter?

 

[Minxy]

Another alternative is a baby buggy as they can take the weight and if you put a footmuff/rain cover etc on it no-one would know how ugly and 'smelly' your baby is!

Most public toilets i go in i have

Sir what are you doing in there…

“just emptying the baby“

Some are in very remote areas so may not be on mains drains. Probably have a local treatment system (being fairly modern so no a local septic tank) as a cesspit would be too easily overfilled. No doubt sizer for their normal custom but would not be happy with some of the chemicals used in our cassettes which would interrupt the biological treatment processes.

Only if you use chemicals, I've not used any for 16 years since we gave up tugging.

But do people still use chemicals in their cassette toilets ? Haven‘t done that in over 10yrs.

I use Elsan Green - is that classified as chemicals? If so, what it not so classified?

That a majority of camping shops, stalls at shows, etc sell blue and other stuff says that people do..
