I'm still very much a newbie (always learning hey?!) and so instruction manuals are my bible! I don't measure out a litre or anything, just press the flush for 5-10 seconds or so to get a bit of water mixed with the liquid to be honest with you.I see you follow the instructions as wellyes that’s what I have read too.
Thats fair enough if you want to use sites costing that sort of money but the general conversation is towards being on aires that are either free or ver low cost, but personally if I’m staying on a site paying fees for a pitch (not fully serviced)I would expect to have facilities for waste provided at no extra cost? It’s obviously different if you ask for fully serviced pitch which you will then pay extra for but they are not going to install one on every pitch? are you still willing to carry your cassette to the machine and pay extra?
To be honest a serviced pitch is a novelty and whilst it’s subjective it’s not a lot of money for a well maintained spot with good facilities. Regarding the cassette machine again I may use one for the novelty but do change and clean out our tank every day whether it has had light or heavy use. When we hat hone it’s gets a through cleanse and smells good with no bad odours or residues left inside.Thats fair enough if you want to use sites costing that sort of money but the general conversation is towards being on aires that are either free or ver low cost, but personally if I’m staying on a site paying fees for a pitch (not fully serviced)I would expect to have facilities for waste provided at no extra cost?

Yup always learning here as well and occasionally re-read the instruction manual Winter lay up etc
Which just shows the manufacturers never use them.
Yep, we are currently at Concierge Camping, bloody lovely site, I know it won’t be for everybody, but we are booked in already for next year!
What’s the cost ?
A lot If you have the pitches with the safari tent kitchen. But I think the normal pitches are rarely reasonable in my opinion for the standard of facilities etc. It looks expensive, but it includes awnings, dogs etc. No add one like a lot of sites. Think it’s around £40 on a night for a normal fully serviced pitch. But if you use facilities, there will be no better anywhere. Take a look at some of the YouTube reviews.
. We pay £65 a night at Love2stay and enjoy the pool , beach area and hot tubs etc but won’t go there every weekend as the cost starts to mount up . Also had a great time at Bromyard Downs CAMC for £16 a night with no facilities and it’s a nice feeling to also be able to get away at a bargain price
That was me. I'm just trying to imagine this as like a half-way house type thing in the battle to get more approves "aires". Maybe if councils installed some of these, they would see some extra revenue, see that people are more than happy to pay a reasonable amount to use these types of facilities, and maybe install more of them. Just imagine a council carpark somewhere on the sea front. You pay a fiver or tenner (something reasonable) to stay overnight, and maybe use a machine similar to this to take on 20-30 litres of fresh water while you dump your black waste and have your cassette cleaned for you for another pound or two. Certainly sounds good to me.
But can they guarantee the weather,? BUSBY.
Because they are already set up to make the "owner" of it a profit from its use. So now imagine these at carparks where the council is considering letting motorhome users stay overnight. If they are turning a profit from it and at the same time helping to prevent some of the threads we have seen of irresponsible dumping of cassette waste, surely it can only serve to further our "cause" of getting more councils enthusiastic about welcoming motorhome users. They are self-contained, discrete and as far as I can see, should be able to put anywhere where there is a public toilet with little expense.Still cannot see what advantage these machines have over just emptying into a drain and giving the cassette a quick rinse..You are going to use it again quite soon.BUSBY.
Never have a problem in Europe disposing of waste..Never do UK so don't know the problem.BUSBY.
It's great that you don't, truly. Others however, do. If even 50% of the new owners (I mean buyers since the start of Covid) keep their vans, the UK sites are going to be busier than ever before. Places like the NC500 route are already struggling to cope with the influx of visitors they receive. Don't you think that machines such as these, dotted over the route, would provide a useful service, stop some of the problems with irresponsible dumping of waste and bring in some money to the councils that run them?
Yep, I agree
we stayed at a campsite in Germany, a couple of years ago, "Spitzanort" just west of Lubeck they had one, I used it, it empties, then fills and cleans, empties it again and then puts some detergent stuff in it, takes about 2 minutes, 1 euro, perfect
If these were used round the NCR500 or anywhere else they would be trashed for the cash in no time. It would have to operate cashless.
As a couple of funsters have said, the machine is using a bio spec. liquid.
