Motorhome Etiquette

[Ian Bosman]

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

Nearly as strange on our insistence on having male and female cubicles which the French seem to be able to use unisex toilets with no bother whatsoever. Mind you there are some interesting observations, If you go to Korea the queue for toilet cubicle works on the supermarket checkout principle, you choose your queue and stick to it, not first come first served as we do here.

At Shell Island a young man asked if he could use my toilet.

I wasn't happy.. He was camped in a tent next to us all and all week had been 'can I have this'... 'can I have that'.

I felt obliged to say yes, begrudgingly.

I didn't know that Terry funster had removed the toilet cassette ready for me to empty it.

I don't care if it young man or woman, old man or witch or wizard... NOBODY is using my loo again.

Totally agree, some things are just not meant to be shared

I wonder if you would have been so accommodating if it was a young lady rather than a young man. Just a fhought

ANYBODY but him.... He'd been a pain in the backside all week. X

Might have to get one of these to hang on the door

 

[RobbyMClark]

Don't forget the door opens outward.

Even better when nattering as it cuts down on the echoes!

We had some lovely friends in for a drink and one said, I must go to the toilet, it was a Motorhome Show and we were lucky to be parked near the toilet block. Instead, without a word the person used our toilet.
Answers on the back of a postcard.

We were stuck in a massive traffic jam for hours in Spain on a very hot day. A Spanish lady knocked on the window and begged to use the loo. I didn’t suggest she peed on the back wheel but felt I had to say yes as she was obviously in a lot of discomfort. Was careful she didn’t help herself to anything in the way out. A risk being a Samaritan but worth taking I think

 

[Ingwe]

I have to admit that I did use the facilities in a friend's van once. I was visiting for the day and he had left me the keys while he went shopping.

I had never been in a posh Hymer before and couldn't for the life of me find the flush button.

So embarrassing

Not quite on point but years ago, a friend was visiting someone on a houseboat moored at Eel Pie island Twickenham. she needed to use the toilet for a no2 and after being directed to the heads, found herself in a lovely toilet with plants, rosewood panelling and brass fittIngs. She found the Victorian porcelain loo and after doing the business, looked round for the flush. Couldn’t find it anywhere.
Eventually she put the lid down and went and explained the issue to the host. The host went with her to the toilet and showed her the real toilet, under a rosewood cupboard, complete with flush. The guest had used an ornament purely for show. Many apologies on both sides and lots of laughter. Hey ho!

But the owner of the barge in #99 obviously found the missing link ... [and without getting bogged down]

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

Happens on boats too!

Several of us who had cruisers used to take children sailing. We had a fleet of mirror dinghies took the youngsters sailing around the Fal.

We jumped boats and swapped all the time. One day, I went to use my friends loo on his boat. I came out and said something like it stinks in there don't you ever clean it!
Matey was a bit miffed by this but he had to agree. It turned out that a school kid had used the loo, but didn't know how to pump flush the loo. So school kid took out the contents of the toilet and stuffed it down in the bilges. We think he was too embarrassed to ask about the toilet pump! It took Weeks to find the source of the problem!

Our fist keelboat didn't have a toilet, we took it out to lighten the boat for racing. We did however have a bucket called Tiddles, and sometimes it was known by its other name, Poodles.......

 

[nicholsong]

I knew a sailing lady who would quite happily hoist her arse over the pushpit to have a pee.

Maybe even No. 2 - at night?

 

[Plumb]

May be when they left it was a Yule brimmer !!!

Always go back to my own van.

sorry my hole in the wall is half full, so sorry, i only exchange glances, please release me let me go. ok.pj.

 

[P Jones]

All depends on requirements.

If I wanted a pee I would go around the otherside and pee all over their wheel. But if a pooo I would use their toilet, and then shout asking for the bread knife as it’s too big for the little toilet hole.

cool man cool, let it all, what ever. to be a toilet or not to be a toilet, that is the ?. okpj. go on let it rip.

A quote from our Australian relatives “ Use the dunny Empty the dunny”. Or the other one is “You dropped it You shift it”.

A sign on the loo door at Turners Farm Campsite in Augusta, SW Australia [imagine Aussie accent]: 'Before you flush, check to see if it needs a brush ...'

Hope they didn’t make sandwiches after that.

So, if someone came to visit you at your house say for an afternoon tea or a barbecue then your toilets would be locked barred and bolted for the duration. Never heard of that sort of behaviour before so why then difference with a motorhome?

As has been said before, 'cassette capacity' - quite relevant when wildcamping or on aires with no facilities. Our 17lt cassette lasts 3-4 days, but with visitor use that could be 2 days, then we are having to seek a dump point.

This is why I would never ask to use another MH facility when mine would be parked nearby.

[fat haggis]

I carry a spare cassette.

That is reasonable, it is just that some seem to be saying never allow anyone to use if visiting.

When I do eventually get to a meeting/rally and Funster gathering, you can use my toilet anytime, why wouldn't you?!!

We all visit the public loos without battering an eyelid and have no idea whose been sitting on the thrown, but not let a guest use the facilities, what's the world coming too.

Far too precious in my mind and it's not like they'll do backflips while in the loo.

I only hover in public loos

We bought a Trailer Tent in 2016 and also purchased a Porta Potty [plastic bucket with lid]. A couple in the Accessories Shop looked with interest [him] and with utter disdain [her] at our new convenience. So I said sotto voce to him, 'Going to put a sign on the outer bucket: 'Sh1t Happens; but not in this bucket ...'

Mrs Disdain was not impressed ... Never did get an Xmas Card ...

Always dangerous to do do at night without being clipped on. Standard operating practice on race boats, however.

You have LOTS of virtual friends on the Oops thread, all with virtual poo. No hassle.
