Never seen a woman do it..!

[Debs]

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????

Having had the same experience when one of mine was little, yes!

Once this has happened or you have an elderly dog with a UTI, you start carrying a bag of kitty litter. It makes the clean up much easier

I do occasionally but we tend to have developed a natural rhythm of jobs that I do and jobs that he does (similarly at home) and avoids disagreements . Works for us - especially in a small van . . .

Is that jobs or 'jobs' ?

There are jobs that are tasks and there are 'jobs' that we call jobbies.

Then there are small jobbies and big smelly jobbies

My good lady emptied the cassette on each of the two vans we hired while deciding what to buy..........
Guess that's why our own van has a macerator loo & black tank for me to deal with.

I do all the washing machine loading and emptying. I am expert at loading the dishwasher, Barry is not allowed near them! In the van I do water, fresh and grey, all the cooking and the washing up! . Only fair that Barry does the cassette!

 

[Billiefarrah]

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 do our loo no problem. I don’t wait until it’s full to heavy .

 

[Puddleduck]

It's usually me that does it. I contribute at least as much as he does and it's just something that needs to be done.

My husband loves to empty it and I love to see him wander off cassette in tow and stopping and chatting whilst in his journey..very pleasurable

I have done it. Not a favourite job, but needs must. Done in broad daylight and not in disguise.

There are pink & blue jobs!

I’m always the one to do the emptying as my hubby is still a bit ahem, “shy” about using the onboard, um, “fully” whereas I’m pretty gung ho about the whole business now I’ve found an additive that seems to “work” . If you get my drift... I’m just not bothered by the emptying either. What I’ve noticed, is a lot of the big brave chaps who are doing this invaluable task are carrying the cassette rather than wheeling it. I‘ve been musing about this. Is it because in wheelie mode, that trundling noise let’s everyone know what your doing? Or is it a man thing- “Yup, I can carry a ton of s..t” I reckon us cassette emptiers should squeakily wheel loud and proud, with the non emptiers maybe casting rose petals in our path before us. Just a thought.

Barry always comes back with stories he has heard chatting to the other people (men) he has met at the disposal point. Its a sociable thing for them....bless.

 

[carolyn]

Nick does most of the filling so he can do most of the emptying although I do it if he’s under the weather or when we get home.
He does none of the cooking or washing or shopping so fair enough.

 

[Mags52]

We are two women and we’ve experienced quite a bit of unintentional sexism. “Where’s the man?” Said both at the loo drop and whilst manoeuvring our big bus around sites. Last week a kind elderly gentleman said “you girls are so brave, I admire you”. Yes we both empty the loo and in broad daylight. We’re not offended by these things but they are a bit outdated. Happy loo filling!

I can't recall ever doing it . Hubby isn't bothered which is good as his 'donations' are stinky as hell. I have a very sensitive nose so things smell stronger to me than most so even being near the emptying point is extremely unpleasant when he's tipping it.

I usually do other stuff like filling the water etc whilst he toddles off with the cassette then end up waiting for yonks for him to come back as he's often stopped for a natter. At least it keeps him from under my feet for a while.

 

[mamaco]

What a weird discussion. I travel solo so I empty the toilet. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to train the dog to pick up her own poo. Any suggestions?

That is so funny. Wonderful humour just before I get out of bed and squeak my way to the dump.

 

[MrTVR]

When we meet up with our friends John & Sue, it’s always Sue that empties the loo.

This is great because it allows me to rib John about it & also gain browny points from my wife

One of our dogs sometimes picks up her own poo but we'd rather she didn't as her 'recycling' method often results in tummy upsets!

Have seen this so often. I am and have been the toilet emptier since getting my first motorhome in the late 80s.

 

[jockaneezer]

At a Yorkshire DA meet at Roker, I heard about a cassette cap that had fallen down into the open manhole disposal point, I can't remember if they said the guy climbed in after it, or whether a grandchild was lowered by the ankles to retrieve it !

 

[Margsmit]

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.

Not been on a campsite with me then! Some sexist comments here!!

 

[Beemobile]

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

Can you tell me how effective the cat litter is at dealing with the larger amount of wee a dog produces compared to a cat. We're having to use cut disposable nappies (so they lie flat) at the moment for Lily in our camper but when we get home cat litter may be an alternative.

Stick to the nappies, have a bag of cat litter in my shed and it weighs a lot more even dry!

 

[ambo2camper]

I really don't mind who empties them as long as it's in the correct place.
Who was at the international campervan and overlander show last weekend? Reports of wicked individuals emptying them in the portaloos and using water fill taps to wash on the grass

I was using cut up incontinence bed pads or puppy pads when Rosie had an accident . Not happened for a long while now but the squares still useful for grandchildren accidents. Light and easy to store as a better starting shape than a nappy.

 

[Lampwick]

She fills it, she empties it.

"Whats a toilet cassette". is that some sort of uphemisam for a Dirty DVD ?

You’ve led a rather blinkered life then

 

[Deepingvet]

I’ll call my Butler and ask who does that ghastly task…it could be a maid but I’m not sure..???
