Epic moment of toilet fury....
Pulled up at Umina, unhooked the van and walked in the van and nearly collapsed.
Yes, nearly collapsed as it smelt like some one had died in the van!
I had so many images of CSI and Criminal minds in my mind of the van quickly becoming a crime scene and a mess of blood and finger print material.
After a millisecond of dreaming I quickly turned around and had a momentary sigh of relief maybe I let one rip and didn't even know it or possibly the kids had done it!
But reality set in as that was not possible as I was the first one in the van since we pulled up and I would not do something so propeserpous like let one rip in the van.
Well let me rephrase, I would not do it for fear of the wrath of @MrsExpanda!
Then it dawned on me, I didn't empty the can from the last holiday which was a few weeks ago and the stirring motin of the drive up to where we where had constructed some evil soupy mess and caused the van to stink like some one had died in it.
Quickly MrsExpanda came to the resuce and opened every openable source in the van and I dragged the putrid cassette out of the van to do the walk of shame to the empty point.
Quickly I realised how bad it was as every person I walked past turned there nose up at me.
Luckily it was dark so they wouldn't remember the face!
Thankfully after a few hours reality returned and some sense of normal smell came back so we could all lay our heads down comfortably!
Note to self, use the facilities when at a van park and empty the dam cassette!!!

This has been the most entertaining thread, I log in just to see if anything new has been added, and I haven't been disappointed yet!!!! :biggrin-26:
Yep you just can't beat the elevated grin level that can only come from fart and poo jokes and the derisive puns they attract. There is something wonderfully juvenile that stems from the cringe factor and the thought that it happened to someone else instead of me, but secretly knowing that we are only ever one bowel movement away from appearing in a forum discussion to share the experience, only to find that you are not alone 
You where gagging?
Welcome to my world
!No sympathy.....
If its any conciliation we have the new van smell back now
!
During my current trip I'm finding that my toilet smells out my van whenever we go mobile.
It's as if that flap inside the cassette opening which opens and closes when you pull the lever inside the caravan is either not sealing properly or is made from material that allows the smell to permeate through.
Even when one of the kids closes the flap but doesn't put the cover down over the toilet it smells.
I have a Thetford portable cassette toilet which I used prior to the van and I could have this in the car and she was airtight.
When the cassette is removed from the van it appears not to smell because that plastic slide flap seems to seal it better.
Anyone done any mods in this area to stop the smell?
I'm thinking of making a plug make it airtight that I can put in the toilet bowl.

Sorry - pi$$ing myself laughing as I read this thread.
Most entertaining read - nothing like a good fart or poo joke to break the air or into a smile

Yes, I thought I might start a new thread because it's unlikely anyone could read my question from the tears of laughter.
Had a similar issue on some travel days on our big trip, found that the hatch was closed but not fully, meaning it could vibrate open and closed. Added another check on pack up and didn't have the problem after that.
Does no one else see the connection here., toilet issues from bigSkiddy. (Sorry about that)
I think this thread needs it's annual bump thanks to @Holden_man steering me here through his "legless cane toad" story.
Some very funny anecdotes here...
Hee hee... poo jokes...

As a Scotsman, enjoyed reading the newspaper article - also enjoyed the irony of everyone getting drunk at a Temperance Movement venue!
Since someone else has started up the Thread again.
Speaking of Poo....
On one of my many work stints to Alice Springs, Management were trying to delay the job due to a sporting carnival that was to be in town and a resulting lack of accommodation. The two of us going there were not going to be done out of the merriment that was going to be had as the Club we were members of was to be central to after events fun. We found a vacancy at a well known Caravan Park with an onsite van that fitted our needs. Early in the trip I went to the amenities block and there were only 2 shower cubicles vacant (no doors, just curtains). I poked my head in to one and backed out and used the other. A fisherman must have been using the other as he had left a very fresh blind mullet in the middle of the floor.
Now you know why they tell you to ALWAYS were thongs in public showers. You never know what has gone on before you.
