Sorry Important Toilet thread.

[Roger S]

We have a Thetford toilet in our van and the red full light only ever comes on during the night when we are tucked up in bed, I assume this is a manufacturing fault that may be covered under warranty ?

 

[Two on Tour]

Is your cassette full or not full when the red "full" light comes on, and do I take it that neither of you get up for a tiddle during the night?

 

[Winger]

I have a red light which sometimes illuminates but I seldom look, more inclined to watch the level through the hatch. I can’t see what the benefit of the light is, in fact I’m normally aware of the level judging by the sound of liquids going into the tank

 

[Wingingit#1]

Ours only ever comes on in the middle of the night when my bladders full .

 

[Lenny HB]

Make sure the float which has a magnet in it is clean and not sticking, may need to get your toothbrush on it.

Yippee a toilet thread.

Wot ‘e sed. If it’s bothering you put some tape over the light.

 

[Mikeco]

Never connected mine up when I fitted it, it’s quite obvious what the level is when you are stood over it so could not see the point of waiting to be told. I also never wait until it’s full to empty it as it gets too heavy.

...but do wash it thoroughly afterwards.

Yes it is full when the light comes on but only at night, its NEVER blo..... full during the day, just when I have my pyjamas and smoking jacket on.

Few too many beers and wines after tea then being deposited eh

 

[Badknee]

I tend to empty ours when it gets about half full. Saves that 10,000 watt light burning a hole in my retina

I'm sure that should give you a ring of confidence.

Maybe you just can't see the light when it's daytime,probably a fault,that's unless you fill it in the night.
Best to empty it and then see if the light comes back on during the first night of use.

 

[NigelNovice]

I found on mine the float arm had a corrosion like hard deposit on the magnet end stopping it from going down, so I cleaned it when doing a full strip down clean at home, I also found a previous owner had removed the reed switch from the toilet body thus turning it off permanently, £15 for a new one, I'm a firm believer if its fitted it should work.

Ours gets emptied every day if possible, it's a lot easier than when full.

 

[PP Bear]

Must be the van rocking

You need to go beddybybys and sleep

Warranty depends on how old it is, but the toilet may be covered as well.

Pah, I bet it’s a shit warranty for the loo…

Sorry but is this a joke!
Surely you should know when the cassette is getting towards full and if that’s at the end of the day why not empty it before you go to bed!?!?
Obviously the ‘full’ light will come on when it’s full so why not pre-empt it?

dont you mean her toothbrush?

 

[Lazyboy]

Empty it in the afternoon? Simples!! Fit a sog and then you will not have to worry about how much "blue" stuff you use.

 

[Gina M]

If your van is parked on a slope it can give a full light to empty which can be misleading. There are some on here (I know a certain person!!) who always drops a level on the floor wherever we park

 

[SmithsInFrance]

We have found that the gas cylinder invariably runs out half way through a bbq and wonder if the two matters are related.

One solution could be to always go on EHU, boil a kettle and live on pot noodles (apologies for thread drift)

 

[Jo662]

I think it’s time you stopped drinking 8 pints of beer in the evening and switched to a few glasses of single malt to reduce volume in cassette.

Always empty at every opportunity as well

What light? Ours has a green/orange sticker on a bit of plastic controlled by the float. Get yer hand in a clean it and keep an eye on the level when the blade is open.

 

[PP Bear]

Pop one of these in the cassette when it’s heads clearly visible poking out the blade, it’s time to empty

That reminds me of an old joke about the US president visiting soldiers in hospital.

“What are you suffering from soldier”
“Piles Sir”
“What is the treatment”
“Brush the affected area 3 times a day with a stiff brush Sir”
“What is your ambition”
“Get back to fighting for my Country Sir”

“What are you suffering from soldier”
“Sexual disease Sir”
“What is the treatment”
“Brush the affected area 3 times a day with a stiff brush Sir”
“What is your ambition”
“Get back to fighting for my Country Sir”

“What are you suffering from soldier”
“Mouth infection Sir”
“What is the treatment”
“Brush the affected area 3 times a day with a stiff brush Sir”
“What is your ambition”
“Get to the brush before the other 2 Sir”
