Just watched a Brit do something disgusting.

to give you some idea of mine outlet is on the bottom of the tank

to hive you some idea of mine outlet is on bottom of the tank i don't think there is enough room on the outlet to put a 90degree bend .

Looks doable to me just need a fitting/pipe that will push into the outlet.

I don't rinse the cassette unless there's a blockage, no point as it's only going to be used again. Annoying to get stuck behind some plonker at the emptying point who insists on rinsing it three times, shaking vigorously between ( guaranteed to dislodge the level float) and holds everyone up for no reason.

that's a good trick Lenny but my waste water outlet is right in the middle under the van so it would be impossible for me

My grey water outlet is controlled by a lever half way down the van, which was difficult to judge even over a big service point grid. I fitted a cheap reversing camera near it, the screen is on the dash and the power is a fag lighter plug which gets plugged in when in use. Even the view wasn’t that exact when positioning over a smaller grid, so I put a felt tip pen circle on the screen as an aiming point. Works a treat.

Rinse his toilet cassette with the drinking water tap

When asked where was the drinking water his response I don't drink it anyway


It was a hymer at Gibratla

I'd like to say thanks mate

You should have listed his reg number
if he is not a funster himself someone on fere might recognise the number
and inform him he has become a disgrace to all motorhomers

We assume that the person who last used the tap used it for cassette rinsing so I simply give the thread a good wash with my hand as the water flows. I did shout at a French chap in Avignon; what I was saying could be understood in any language!

We were parked up on the ridge by Higger Tor in the Peaks last year and the guy in the car in front seemed to be watching a movie on a screen on the dash. Didn't think much of it although it was a weird place to come to watch a movie. An hour or two later he got out of the car and walked round to behind his car - in between his car and our van. It was a very blustery, windy day and so on that top of the ridge the wind was chaotic, blowing every which way.
As he stood at the back of his car, oblivious to me sat above him, about six feet away, watching, I realised that he was looking for somewhere to have a pee. Right enough, he whipped his todger out and started to pee. Obviously, the pee went all over his legs. A little hit the ground but most of it seemed to go all over his legs. At this point he must have woken up, looked around and saw me watching him peeing all over himself. He then walked to the front of his car at a slightly different angle and then continued emptying his bladder onto himself.
Just incredible.
These people walk amongst us every day.
+1 vote from me for not introducing your family's faecal matter into other people's drinking water.

A few yeas ago we saw a French reg Motorhome parked up just before a reservoir in Portugal. A hundred meters further on we saw the driver rinsing his cassette by the side of the reservoir. Unfortunately, we were negotiating a long series of narrow, twisty bends and were unable to stop. It was beyond comprehension!

On an USA tour one year I saw a sign that said if using gloves while emptying toilet waste take them off before using fresh water tap!

 

[Pipeydick]

plate nbr, so we can all watch out for him?

Part of the me me brigade!

 

[jayne and peter king]

Some people are disgusting!
We use disinfectant wipes on taps and don’t let the tap touch the can.
Chap on a CS in UK went over to empty his cassette-enclosed area specifically for purpose with tap-came away and walked straight over to drinking water tap-about 20mtrs away-and was going to use tap for his cassette. We both shouted at him. Said he hadn’t seen a tap by the cistern!

Some people are just utter garbage can you imagine what their homes are like yuk it doesn’t bare to think about

A few years back we stopped at a service area somewhere out near mazarron, can't remember exactly where though. The black waste was a man hole lid nearby he petrol pumps, the fresh water was adjacent to the petrol pumps and the grey waste was a grid on the floor within the jet wash bay. We'd emptied the black and drove round to the jet wash area but before we could drive over the grid some skanky looking eastern European came tearing in to beat me to it...whatever mate, I aint in a rush?

We sat there for a minute then witnessed him open his grey waste tap, then he went round the other side, opened his fresh water tank and looked around like he'd lost something? He then proceeded to get the pressure wash lance and stick it in his fresh tank.

My other half said "you should tell him" to which i replied "nah, that'll teach him to jump in and for being so stupid" or words to that effect?

Within a few minutes white foam was spewing out of his fresh tank which is when he realised what he'd done. At that point I reversed and went round to the fresh water to full up.

When we did go back to grey dump he had pulled out and was under his van with a pool of foaming water forming. Well at least he won't have to use shower gel for a while!

Germs!

I honestly didn’t see you

We're quite new to this motorhoming lark and have been on quite a steep learning curve helped by many posts from funsters. Anyway now you can have a laugh at my expense!
We had a month on the continent in September. We stopped for a couple of nights at a stellplatz on the Mosel on our way to Austria. So far so good!
It came to the time replenish fresh water and rather than move the van I decided on several trips back and forth with our water container. So armed with a pocket full of euros I proceeded to the stainless steel pedestal thingy which i had not experienced before. I duly put my euros in the slot and filled up my container several times. I did wonder at the time why the meter was not going down and why the tap had no fittings on it and spurted water all over me and my container!
I even remarked about the dirty b****rd using the tap to rinse his cassette out. Then the horror hit me Yes i had been filling my container from the non drinking water tap.
I relayed the story to my normally very supportive wife and strangely she didn't see the funny side (for a while)
Choosing a time when no one was about I went and studied the pedestal more carefully at which time i realised where the fresh water tap was.
We then went through the process of draining and flushing the fresh water tank and taps and re-dosing with Aquapur.
I thought that i was reasonably bright and that i could understand written German but on this occasion i failed miserably.
Anyway no harm done apart from a bruised ego and i am sure no one saw what i did (or at least it hasn't appeared on the the forum yet)
No poo was hurt in the making of this story

If there is no tap avalible for the cassette I use my waste water

You need to boil your water for at least a minute to kill off bacteria.

Not true although clearly the safest advice. 99.999% of water borne microorganisms are killed at 149°F/65°C in five minutes of exposure. Source. https://www.health.ny.gov/environme...lso reported that,in five minutes of exposure. The water heater at our village hall heats only to 95 degrees.

He's not a disgrace to me...

Yep.
Had to notify dept. Of health and give 3 clear samples until they would sign me off to return to work.
Thankfully though, no further issues apart from the usual occasional winter D and V.
And I have a very strong constitution generally to most ailments of a similar type.

Cripes, and there was me thinking it was code for some kind of lobac that you only get when camping, i.e. joke!

So sorry & thanks for the warning.

I'm tempted to stay home

 

[Janine06]

Best thing to do is not drink water, but take plenty of wine instead and drink that

Many thanks, and good job i kept reading because i was about to say the same thing. Also many thanks for adding the reference saying 65°C is enough, 72°C even better and "research shows that water borne pathogens are inactivated or killed at temperatures below boiling (100°C)."

So where did the "10 minutes boiling water" come from? Apparent it IS required for sterilising EQUIPMENT to prevent harm to babies (but only up to 12 months):

Bottle hygiene and equipment sterilisation

Learn about cleaning and sterilizing your baby's feeding equipment for a healthier, happier baby.

cambspborochildrenshealth.nhs.uk

Baby feeding equipment (bottles, etc) will need time to come to temperature and for the heat to penetrate all micro-cracks. Also this is to kill 100.0% bacteria.

So unless you are on chemotherapy with a severely compromised immune system, bringing a kettle to the boil will sterilise the water.
