I always tell the kids that long drops are great. You get to see what everyone in the camp-site had for breakfast...
I'm still wakin up at night with nightmares.....
LOL @Holden_man I will the one waking up picturing this and giggling to myself
for days to come
Here's a tip for the more sensitive forum members, keep a chocolate frog in the vanity and just smear a bit of chocolate on the toilet seat from time to time.
Kids won't clean it or use it at all.

Yeh it was pretty funny @MrsExpanda, you should have seen my family when the job was done and I walked inside, ashen faced, to tell the three of them what I had been upto for the last 20mins.....they all thought it was absolutely hilarious.
Yer ha bloody ha.....
It is only funny so long as it does not happen to you
@expanda will tell you this if it happened to him I would not have spared him and would have probably don't be rude myself with laughter
:hurt-41:
I bet you didn`t have the pressure too high you wouldn`t any splashback off that bad boy!Not my bloody 7 iron.......would have to grab the next door neighbours for that task.....
What i did do...... was get the hose and spent 20mins hosing that sucker into the lawn. It didn't go easily.
Won't need to fertilise that part of the lawn in spring.
We are yet to christen our new 'van on a number of fronts., but The Dragon has been requested that it would be preferable for matrimonial harmony if her arse does not touch the lavvy seat under any circumstances due to my highly pronounced ability to spasmodically spew in torrents at the thought of emptying any receptacle containing turds in transit. I intend to take no chances of her going for a wee and then saying " bugger it , I am here now so I may as well slip a little one out".
I was a marine engineer in a former life, and as a lowly cadet that the second engineer couldnt stand ( it's a round ball football thing, but Aussies perhaps would not comprehend the level of hatred a high ranking supporter of a team in black and white stripes could have for a subordinate from a place that wears the superior red and white variety )was monotonously given the task of climbing in the turd tank regularly to unblock the air jets that otherwise would kill the cacky eating bacteria. You do that for what seemed like a weekly occurrence for a whole 4 month voyage, constantly slipping on your arse even in light seas in a confined and unbelievably stinky dark space trying to push bits of wire into very small holes holding a torch in your mouth for light and you would think that any olfactory senses would have well and truly been cauterised, and sloshing around in your mates faecal matter merely second nature. However it is more a case of a modified version of the old Pavlov's Dog's syndrome. I am permanently mentally scarred for life. I think of Poo and I get a mental picture of a man with an outrageous Geordie accent with 3 gold bands on his uniform jacket sleeve pointing to the engine room, consigning me once again to turd tank patrol whilst downing his 15th can of Tennents lager for the morning.
Our van will be a poo free zone.Period.

I've been pretty impressed with how well the cassette toilets work. Though 100km on a bad road with a near full cassette can produce some undesirable results. I can somehow manage to end up with effluent on the ensuite floor after a bumpy ride, but no mess on the seat or bowl. Haven't figured that one out yet.
No 1. Only for us... What's the saying... If its brown we will frown. If its yellow then take a leak young fellow.
Hey @alan frost, I'd of thought that emptying the cassette would be a piece of cake (recycled) for you after that job!
I have a old sauce bottle with olive oil in and give the black seal on the opening a good cover and also when the hatch is open put some on the plastic mechanism inside the toilet and it keeps the latch handle working easy.
If you have one like this in your van I don't think you will ever need to empty the cassette.
Maybe my sense of smell has been dulled by dealing with cleaning up doggy 2's from a house dog, or dealing with the vile smell of a collection of Cane Toads at the local Council collection point. Had to do the first empting of the cassette today and fortunately had the added bonus of being upwind of it but it really wasn't that bad. Mind you a drop of Eucalyptus Oil on the moustache or a dab of Vicks helps.
Brad, another saying is "If it's yellow, let it mellow but if it's brown then let it drown", but that's to do with water saving with household toilets.

It's funny you mention this, as I had my first experience with this last week, not real pleasant, however mine overflowed into the recess' under the cassette.
Moral to the story, always empty the cassette before hitting the road.
Can't say I've had that problem :laugh: though I do make sure it's closed, though our shower did leak into there at one stage and I had stored a bag of the toilet sachet things in the compartment under the cassette (YUK)
@cruza driver, the flap was shut, I dare say it was just close to being full and the up and down motion of the bumpy roads made if flow through what looks like an overflow section into the recess under the cassette.
