Using the toilet.

[Barriesimpson]

As you are probably aware, I am a complete newbie to the motorhome life. So I have a question - how do you use the toilet? This may seem strange to the experts, but having never used a chemical toilet I really do not know how it works. Do you just do what you need to do and flush? Taking into account the limited amount of water you have and the limited capacity of the cassette, I can imagine this is not the case. So please enlighten me.

Lift toilet lid, Open blade, do the business, do paperwork, flush to get the loo paper to go down, use loo brush if needed, flush again! shut blade. Done

It's that simple? Thank you for that.

 

[Gingernuts]

Well it was that easy this morning

If you want to make the period between emptying don’t put toilet paper into the cassette. I, and a few others I know put all paper into dog poo bags and dispose of them.

Mind you, I invited a girlfriend to a weekend away in the van, she didn’t open the blade( the bit that keeps smells in) and done the business on top of the blade! Took some cleaning I can tell you
Took rubber gloves with me after that!

Be very very careful. You’re at risk of starting a toilet thread.

I really want to avoid having a bag for the paper to be honest, but thanks for your input.

Just hang the bag on a tree

But if I'm having a Sh*t, how do I get to the bag to put the paper in it?

It’s a technique you need to learn

If Im about to do a number 2 I actually line the bowl with single pieces of toilet roll, it tends to stop the bowl being stained and reduces the amount of cleaning of the bowl after, when I feel it's coming to an end, I open the latch and let it all slide down accompanied by a quick flush of water. Don't leave it too long though before opening the latch .....it has become a fine art getting it just right ..

I'm gonna need some tuition here. You got a video?

That makes sense MisterB, thank you.

with a bit of practice you can get a bullseye .. ..no mess on the bowl ..

And throw the bag out the window, right?

It's that simple? Thank you for that.

Just remember, the flush is a short one, not the galloon used in domestics.
A good brush is essential!

Ok, so I need to learn all over. This might take some time....

Too much information

I went into my GP surgery once to deliver a “sample”.

I had discretely secreted the sample thing in a Tesco bag.

I called in at the surgery and the ugly grumpy old bag of a receptionist upon being told what I was dropping off said “ Well I hope it’s sealed”

I walked away thinking I wish I had said “ No, I just shat straight into the Tesco bag”

Yes, I guessed that. Thank you.

practice at home ..

if you don't want a pebbledash finish .. don't eat prunes... don't ask how I know

We use ours as normal house toilets but try not to use too much bog paper. 2 sheets to wipe 1 sheet to polish the army way.
I only use bio washing liquid either sachet or small amount.
It works great for us.

A Tesco bag ! how big a sample did you give

Good advice.

Yes, I guessed that. Thank you.

As you had to ask how to use one, I thought I would state the obvious.
Common sense is a rare condition to some people.

I was never in the army, so only 2 sheets seems impossible as we speak. However, I'm willing to learn what needs to be learnt, so thank you for your input.

I just hoped it wasn't one of those you can buy in the fresh fruit aisle?
