“Abandon HOPE all ye who enter here” I didn't know Dante used campsites.

Unusual one at Charmes Vosges. Note little shelves for the cap. This is the site not the nearby aire as the price difference is not much

We stopped there on our Scandi trip. Just before I was going to empty mine, a coach pulled in and proceeded to drop the toilet tank, however the drain couldn't cope and I was faced with a veritable lake of yeuch. However I didn't hesitate to tell the (woman) driver what I thought!

So so funny

Never seen one and never will - I am all for equality EXCEPT where emptying the cassette comes into it. It’s always me who cleans the loos at home tho to make up

Thought @Jim was cracking up with his request, then I realised there are Funsters who've been taking photos of dump points and got them saved ready to post. My photo obsession is defibrillators I've phoned them wherever I see one.

 

[monzer]

Strangely it is quite interesting to see all the weird and wonderful ways people make us dump our waste.

I wouldn't say it's embarrassing going to empty out a plastic container full of our shite and pee but I do like the services that give you a little privacy to go about it.

EDIT: sorry I haven't been taking pictures of any I have used but I am sure as hell going to start.

On a campsite, there were still outdoor toilets, this one had seen little use recently.
The others would have benefitted by hanging a dead rat as an air freshener

If the water people saw that cross contamination with the water pipe they would prosecute them.

Is that any different from the water pipe from the cistern connecting to the toilet bowl in a house?

Water board have to go for worst case scenario,
Waste pipe blocks and fills to top.
Someone opens tap not knowing that the water main is being drained elsewhere.
Effluent gets sucked up into water main.

Not the first place I've seen it like this

A boring but effective one today. Grand Forte Phillipe near the aire at Gravelines. Emptying free but 2 euros for water card only. We didn't need water.

 

[Reallyretired]

Going home tomorrow so back on main drainage .

But there should be a non return check valve on the tap I think,

OMG so far in our van we have done number ones which using Thetford blue is fine. Going somewhere week after next where we may need to do number 2 in the vans toilet, after seeing those 2 YouTube video's I'm worried lol Please tell me its not as bad as that when emptying the cassette. We are away 3 days I'd rather bung myself up with Imodium than go through that.

Any chance of back flow and there should be a check valve fitted.

Yes it's terrifying. Especially when the rich holiday excretion had been in there a few days in the summer fermenting.

Repost from and Earlier "discussion" about the use of gloves when "disposing". (Copy and Paste):-

WARNING, Don't read this BEFORE Breakfast!.

In the 60`s, We started to have what are known as "seaway systems". First introduced to avoid pollution of the St Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. These consisted of large tanks with a series of weirs inside and a "Treatment Phase" which used Bio tablets to dissolve and make good the sewage from the whole vessel. The output was said to be "potable" (and I witnessed the guy who tested ours actually taste it!).

So, Just before a scheduled arrival, ours decided not to function, one of the "flap valves" in the tank was passing back and judged to be jammed by some Object. The choices now are 1) close down the whole ship and ONLY use shore side facilities, or buckets, NOT practical on passage!. Or 2) attempt to remove said "object".! "Chief`y and the Old Man got their heads together and the Engineers drew straws for the honour of entering said tank and removing object. You guessed it, I drew the short straw!. Suitably stripped and equipped, in old Jocky`s and a pair of trainers that had been kicking about in the changing room for several trips. After lowering the level as for as we could, I made entry and with some difficulty, up to my armpits in sewage I managed to remove part of the sole of a "Japanese sea boot" (flip flop to the uninitiated!), which had managed to become lodged. The exit from the tank was greeted by a blast of very cold seawater from the fire hose! and shouts of "stinker" (and worse) from my erstwhile colleagues. The smell followed me for days as did the comments, My reward was a 24 case of beer from the Chief Eng; and a second from the Captain. We mounted the offending "flip flop" on a mahogany board it was in the officer's bar for years, a "conversation piece" with my name on a small brass plaque!.

And you think emptying a cassette is a issue?.

 

[ShiftZZ]

@Chris

A fav point of dumping for Welsh Funsters?

 

[Four of us]

OMG

It really isn't that bad.... as long as you use some of the proper additives it doesn't even smell that bad, as long as you don't get too close.
