Motorhome Etiquette

[Sandancers]

Not even her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd would be allowed to use our MH toilet !!!

 

[rosalan]

Thank you for your observations on etiquette relating to Motorhomes. There is still much to learn in life.

There wouldn't be room for her maj, the Royal knicker puller down and lady of the bog roll to all get in at the same time.

The way l see it if your toilet has a Cassette and a guest drops one they don’t see it again but you do and smell it also. Not going to happen.

How would you tell theirs from your own, in my experience all shit is about the same.

I have never had to empty a public toilet!

All cisterns go then?

If guests to my moho need a wee then use my toilet. I’m not precious about it. It’s a toilet for God’s sake.

 

[Crazylegs]

What a peculiar bunch of people the English are, from what I read here and elsewhere many motorhomers won’t even use their own facilities, let alone let others.
Every summer we hold a barbecue and a game of rounders in a field somewhere for family and extended family, the girls and children use the van, the fellers have a wee in the hedge. Absolutely no problem to us.

Completely agree, there are some very strange folk out there. It’s a toilet, it’s for weeing and pooing in.

 

[busbuddy]

If you invite them in then they can use the facilities
I once had an argument with one of my vw friends as my van was the only one with a toilet.....my phrase was "what do you think I do...sieve it as i empty?'
Some people are weird, me included

I tend not to scrutinise the contents of the cassette when I empty it, maybe I should consider it, in a Lloyd Grossman way, "Now, whoooo's poop is this ?"

Mine would be the shiny one that smells nice....

 

[Liverpoollass]

Well no...it's not all the same
Google 'The Bristol Stool Chart'

In any case I would before concerned I might make a noise!!

 

[scottie]

OMG, your replies made me wet myself oh, and used my own loo.

 

[Googlebot]

I would have used the loo and others would be welcome to.

Don’t care if I have to empty it more often or not. All poo and wee looks and smells the same so when I spill it on me I won’t be able to tell if it was mine or not.

 

[KiwiKampers]

I would not use someone else's motorhome toilet unless it was one of those Japanese toilets that has buttons on it to play music and spray air freshener when you've finished. It's only polite.

Nooooo!!

Don’t worry, before Royal visits, they always have a toilet available, and change the seat beforehand just in case HMQ requires to visit, but she never needs. Now that’s control!

 

[MR BLO]

Sharing is caring I say. Visitors welcome to use the pot in our van. Just ask them to turn the radio up if they are on a bombing mission or I will score their performance - soundproofing not brilliant in the Bailey.

 

[Blaydon]

Sure let them use our loo - then tell them to empty it too!

Actually mine is full of fabulous and glitter

This is a crappy thread

This is a crappy thread

I think it’s great, in fact it’s flushed with success

My friends bought a new van but had no intention of ever using the toilet. As one is a bit infirm, eventually it got used for 'wee only'. this was fine until an unknown light came on. As everything still worked, they forgot about the light. A big mistake!
They were amazed at just how far wee can travel in a van when let free.

.my first realisation that boys were different to girls was wgen I was about 7 and wondered why my best friend, the boy next door, could pee against the drainpipe and I had to go indoors to the toilet.

I asked mum and dad for one of those contraptions for Christmas.

I was moved by your story, [ no not bowel] and then remembered what the ladies used to use when we were trail bike riding. Let every conker tree and drain pipe now tremble in fear, here comes Movan and her,https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11342568...d=link&campid=5338547443&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

We don't go on sites so if we were visiting another MH, unless we were on an aire, they would also be wilding, so I would not use their toilet, because I would be conscious that they would have to empty it sooner, so I would go back to ours.

Same reason I try to make sure I have a pee before I leave the s/market/pub etc. to save our cassette space - unless there is a dry looking hedgerow near our parking spot . No. not the one on the edge of the CP stupid!

As long as it's not countersunk at the one end ...

Even worse if the friend isn’t a Motorhome person, we had an older friend who used our toilet and used the tap to get off the throne, plastic taps are not meant for that and the spout broke off. They payed for the tap but we had to wait for delivert which wasn’t quick because we were in France at the time.

 

[meanders]

I can think of three occasions where others have used our MH loo, and none where we have used others.
1. Visiting daughter and grandchildren. Boys were playing a football match and we went to watch in the van. It was cold, we served teas and coffees to the watching parents. One heavily pregnant lass then needed the loo.
2. At Thetford bash for the young bikers lass early am before the loos in the club opened.
3. Similar at a music festival when girl in tent pitched adjacent caught short in a storm.

No problem to us unless a queue forms.

My mate had covid a few months ago and now he says everything smells of coffee. I visited his unit to repair a circuit board the other week and had to use his toilet (to get rid of the previous evenings spicy lasagne )
I did have a little chuckle to my self when he went in 10 minutes later. He came out and exclaimed PHEW! STRONG COFFEE!
