Disgusting Motorhome Behaviour

[chaser]

With a private plate? Travellers don't register vans do they? Let alone put a private plate on one?

They put any plate on they take a fancy to.

I’m not at all surprised really,but I do have a fairly low opinion of humans. You’ve only got to see the amount of litter along our roadsides,and the dog poo bags hanging in trees at beauty spots,to know that there are an awful lot of dirty people around.

But hey ho,it was only a few hundred years ago that we used to chuck it out in the street,and then someone had the very good idea of collecting it with a horse an cart.

... and the 'night men' used to dump it on the fields opposite our bungalow, in later years the area was then used as market gardens with lots of glasshouses on ... so those who produced it were eventually 'eating' it!

It's called 'night soil'; widely used in China, I believe, on small holdings.

Yes,and we are still eating it!
You know those very neat piles of brown/black “manure” to be seen in the corners of arable fields.....................................yes it’s your poo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess they either pay farmers to take it,or the farmers buy it cheaply.

Enjoy!!!!

Disgusting if true and posts like this often crop up but the peeps who report these incidents never seem to have there phone available to take a photo as proof.

Would you take a photo of the offender and risk a possible violent confrontation

The fella that empties our septic tanks round here goes straight onto a local farmers field and empties his bowser once its full up.

Be honest is sounds like travellerst

Travellers don’t use the toilets in their caravans or Motorhomes as they regard that as dirty , they use the immediate surroundings no matter where they are

this practice has been pretty much banned since 2006. untreated and tested is not allowed.
Quite a lot of th etime it is turned into "biscuits" and burned as fuel.

No confusion, every time you read about a traveler invasion they also talk about the human excrement & waste left in the immediate area

Biscuits?

So I sit there in my armchair hoovering a pack of digestives but I am actually eating Pooh cakes?

There is a big difference between travellers, or tinkers as they used to be known, and Romany

Your ok.... it’s only ginger nuts....

Which bit of ‘common practice’ are you referring too? I have stayed in many free places, I have been off grid for months at a time, so I guess I am an FLT when it suits me but I don’t mind paying for sites or disposal either, and in 30 years of motorhoming have only had to dispose of black waste in a less than satisfactory way once, and that was in the desert, even then I dug a hole and buried it.

Sure you buried it Simon not Margaret

With lots of honey!

“I live in Hornsea next to a recreation green. Last night a number of motohomes parked up for the night next to the green. This morning I watched as one of the campers emptied his toilet waste into a plastic bag and then dumped it in the nearest waste bin. After confronting the man he told me it was quite alright and to f!!!ckoff. This very eloquent gentleman drives a Bessacar, reg PH11KTF. Not the best advert for motor homes.”





It would have to be a very very brave man to empty a large quantity of fluid in to a black bag.

So maybe it wasnt a cassette but a composting toilet container.

I bagged and binned solid waste for 4 months on my latest trip in greece.
To the point that the new van im building won't have a cassette toilet but a seperator toilet instead and the solids will be bagged and binned and the fluid tanked and flushed with the grey.


Second hand info is never that great and a forum judge and jury with very little facts is never much better.

Used to be the way back in the 50s especially at scout camps

So having saved his mix of human solid waste and sawdust or whatever while it decomposes into perfectly good compost, he then throws it away? Makes sense.

Plastic bags and chemicals , I worked next to where they turned up once , let's just say the bushes didn't need fertilising for a while after they'd gone

Not everyone with a compost toilet actually uses it to make compost. Or indeed has a garden to use compost.
Thats why i prefer to call it a seperator toilet.

As i said no one unless they inspected the contents of the bag has any idea of the quantity etc that was in it.

There's a new unauthorised Traveller encampment on the seafront in W-S-M. One of their vehicles is a Bessacar, as can be seen in the second photo,

Council to take action to remove travellers from seafront

The travellers have been asked to move from the Beach Lawns but have so far ignored requests and remain on site

Pre-digested and recycled.

When my Great-Grandfather's house was modernised for indoor facilities he was asked about layout .... "S**t in the house" he shouted "That's unhygienic". I don't think he ever used the inside loo and continued to use the outhouse. Great-Grandad was born in 1885 and his house modernised in the 1960s. I remember when electric was installed and my Great-Grandmother never trusted it. She liked the gas lights and when he wasn't home would not use the electric.

Trouble is the stuff isn't in the toilet long enough for it to properly compost, none of them do it really no matter what they claim, you still have to put it somewhere to finish off composting before it can be used to fertilise the garden etc.

Exactly youd need a tank the size of Wembley to hold it in for the first batch to be compost. Seperator toilet is a much better name for it. And most folk fitting them do bag and bin whether its daily or weekly etc

So without the full facts the op is just another story we can't prove either way.

Yes unfortunately. I just dont see the point in a load of judgement for what could well have been an innocent act.
