Never seen a woman do it..!

[Reallyretired]

I always empty the loo. I wouldnt allow swmbo to do it, as although they are quite robust she has a talent for breaking anything remotely mechanical. I spend a lot of time repairing things at home, so I dont ask for trouble when away.

 

[Mick and Ruth]

We have blue and pink jobs anything outside the van is blue and mine, inside tends to be pink and Ruth's..... except any faults when it then suddenly becomes a blue job. To be fair she is happy to sort anything out but we have a system and works for us, plus I get my 10 mins of bloke chat at the waste point.

 

[Just smiffy]

Dishwasher loading is physics ….

My ex partner use to do the cassette all the time…

I always get left to empty ours! OH tells me if I fill it I have to empty it!
Everytime I get told not to lose the cap though…….maybe I wouldn’t have to empty it again if I did happen to misplace it??

Both males and females have the same number of hands

If like us you have a Dometic toilet/cassette, you need 3 hands to empty one of those.
Terrible design where it is impossible to hold it and push the vent button at the same time.

Not an issue in our household. I do it when able, but if I am on my crutches, not so easy and Bren is always happy to do it. Maybe because of being born on a farm, she has no squeamishness about poo.

She was however disgusted by the state of the chemical disposal point on the site this weekend. A concrete sluice with a gulley hopper in the middle. Problem was it must be donkeys years old and the concrete is rotting and blistering, leading to poo and bits of paper sticking to some areas and the resultant green slime and vegetation. It was always infested with flies and maggots, even after I took the time to give it a good hose down. The farmer said "it's fine and the brush in there is for giving it a scrub". The brush he referred to was a very old kitchen sink type long handled brush that was even more poo infested than the concrete

Contrast that to the brand new stainless steel and fibreglass CDP last week and there is no doubt that things are better on most sites now

I totally agree!! I thought we had a left handed one as the button is on the wrong side

 

[pampam]

I always do ours cos my other half is too clumsy and would probably lose the lid

 

[Riverbankannie]

I always do ours, hubby will not go anywhere near it or the emptying station.

Mrs Nedge always empties it. Mr Nedge has never ever emptied it. She’s a keeper!

 

[VXman]

Granted, Men are completely useless at loading and operating washing machines, whereas women are hopeless at loading dishwashers correctly... however, as SWMBO pointed out this weekend, why is it only the men who empty toilet cassettes....? This got me thinking and has played on my mind since..........In all the years of people watching on sites, I have never witnessed women emptying a cassette... we know there are lady only campers out there - perhaps they wait till dark or go in disguise....

I 'let' my wife do it most of the time.She is much better at the 'not so nice ' jobs. Got her to remove the dead magpie that was in our parking spot today.

If my arthritis is playing up there’s no way I can lug the cassette to the emptying point so management steps in. The only thing she struggles with is the water container. Carrying the 20 litre container is not a problem but lifting it to pore it into the tank is awkward because she is a bit short on hight.
I do agree I can’t recall the last time I saw another lady doing the walk of shame to dump the dunny as our Aussie cousins call it.

 

[Cookieboy68]

I've never given it much thought (and I don't think my better half has)i just do it, I think it must be the natrual order of things,like" Day follows Night"

In my previous boating days, when we were staying on the annual IWA rally on the Thames. There were up to 600 boats staying for 5 to 7 days in a fixed location. So emptying the cassette was important. The IWA organised a "Lavender" boat to go along side the moored boats to empty your cassette. All you had to do was hand over the cassette or leave it on the bow of your boat, it was emptied. The lavender boat was operated by lady volunteers, who were dressed in traditional canal boating costumes. For a small donation they would service & lubricate the cassette. All that to get a few quid for the IWA coffers, good on them.

It is generally hubby who empties it on site - but definitely not always. I usually fill with fresh water, and do the cooking. If the cassette needs emptying/a good clean when we get home - then that is me. Having a dometic loo we definitely find more likely to need a good clean at home than the Thetford ones ever used to!

 

[Grasmere9]

I do it if on my own!

 

[WynandJean]

Here's one that tried!

Still cracks me up. I empty ours usually….she who fills it, empties it. Currently not able due to thumb surgery So hubby has obliged. He’s a keeper

I have no issues emptying it... He has no issues cooking.

But the inverse skills are prominent!

I saw Debs Doing it last Sunday at Jaws meet. And a great meet it was to

Well as Ive been solo till recently I've not had a choice Mike . There's no such thing as blue or pink jobs as far as Rob & myself are concerned. The one rule we have is whoever's van we are in is responsible for sorting the gas.

I think the op must have his eyes closed alot of the time.....checking for pinholes maybe?

But yes it was a great meet....

 

[Swifter]

Posted by me before but she’s trying her best

 

[Nanniemate]

Another solo traveller here, so no choice.

If I could think of a use for a man maybe this is it

Are you sure,

We definitely have pink and blue jobs, it doesn’t bother me emptying the cassette as it always has plenty of elsan type solution in it so not too smelly. I can not however pick up a dog poop using a plastic bag on my hand, I will actually be violently sick. Defo a pink job, as the dogs belong to Kathryn.

Cheers,

Russ

 

[EuroTrotters]

My wife does it almost all the time.

I also used to be a laundry engineer. But the wife always disagree with my loading and program choices. So she usually does that too

 

[Allybob]

We share the task but I probably do it more often than he does. As I use it more than him that seems fair.

 

[dna]

when i used to travel with her-in-doors it was traditionally my task to do the outside jobs. Normally worked well, there was just the time one of the children tried to use the loo whilst i was away emptying the cassette. Did you know the tray the cassette sits in is waterproof????

 

[Dorset Diver]

I had no idea, and would have preferred to have remained in ignorance of the fact .
