Blue in the loo?

I know but that doesn't answer the question though.

Also would you do it in plain sight of passers by or more furtively?

A few ml compared to a container full.

I was asking about the legality not if I would do it or not, & being desperate for a wee is different anyway.
 
I didn’t say you had to dispose of the wee in a hedge Pudsey, obviously common sense would always prevail. My point was that because you are not looking for somewhere to dump poo, you have a lot more choices, and can be slightly more relaxed about how to get rid of it. eg a drain
 
Not much point in Googling the legalities either, but I bet there will be a law somewhere about it if you ask the right question, I think it's a bit distasteful to just dump it at all.

Or to avoid having to search for a facility to dispose of the cassette contents AFTER you have used the facilities in the Van ... :D

That's the issue really, and why I always use a bottle and disinfect it every now and then, I have no qualms about emptying a bottle, Liz is willing to try it too (should be fun) but a cassette is heavy to lug about, and no way am I letting Liz do it, mans job (the feminists can go stuff on that one) and even half full kills my back, and even a few days makes it pong a tad.

TBH Liz is more into all this saving than I am I just prefer to use a bottle as Thetfords were never designed for men to pee in, too small a target too far away.

Speak for oneself dear boy.

How are you doing anyway? and the house?

I'm OK, thanks, Kev. Had Blood Pressure check at GP yesterday, 140/70, which is an improvement on the 244/? when I was admitted to hospital. Blood Test also taken, so I'll get the result shortly.

The Flat is more or less repaired now; the replacement Dining Room Light is due to be fitted tomorrow. BUT, Aviva have been playing silly buggers with their Claims Management System which has a false record, showing that all works were completed on 9th February, which is before the Plasterer arrived to skim the ceiling, much less put the coving up, repaint [including the carpet and curtains ...], so I have raised ANOTHER complaint [in addition to the one lodged with the Financial Ombudsman]. Aviva replied this morning with the usual 'we aim to reply within 8 weeks' standard phrase. Being honest and correcting mistakes/omissions that are pointed out to them, followed by a 'Sorry, we messed up, here's £50 compensation as a token' would have been much more efficient, quicker, and would have restored some goodwill, but that's not the Aviva way, apparently.

So at least better news, but not quite there yet, BP is good though, not done mine for a few weeks.

Blood Test all OK, and Cholesterol at 4.1, which is lower than it was in 2020 after my heart attack.

The M/Home is enjoying the longer days now, solar switched on at 0749 today, and Lithium floating at 13.63v, whilst Vehicle Battery at 13.41v and flickering to 13.45v with the AMT12-2 set to constant pulsing [9 seconds in every 10]. forcing the Leisure Battery to transfer current to the Vehicle Battery. At this rate, Kev, we might be able to trot off next week for a couple of days to Tentsmuir Forest for a trial run in Brunhilde to check that everything is working after the enforced lay up, and that we haven't forgotten to pack any of the necessary kit, much of which was buried beneath the furniture that had to be relocated from the Dining Room during the Ceiling Replacement! It's all go [mainly to the loo, though!]

If you don't use a toilet fluid, or have a SOG , the cassette may start to have a build up of scale formed by uric acid..

To prevent this, flush after emptying, and when laying up or not using for a few weeks, inspect and if required clean with Thetford cassette cleaner, rinse and leave the cassette dry ready for the next trip.

I've had to replace the cassettes in my last three vans that others had neglected.. not cheap

I've only been using washing liquid for fifteen years. I never ever flush the cassette out. How soon can I expect problems?
 
I bought a van with a really badly caked up cassette, someone on facts said to soak it in hydrochloric acid, 20% to water and leave it a few hours, keep turning it and agitating it, and always pour the acid into the water not the other way around, and if your on mains sewage pour it down a manhole cover with a tap running.

Worked a treat, I've done it @ 10% on ones which were not too bad and it does freshen them up and kills the smell, but they do need to be well flushed out.

I got mine off ebay about 9-10 years ago.

We use Formyl Bio. Keeps everything clean and smelling sweet and cheap enough to discard every couple of days or so.
However, if I were building a van, and starting from scratch, I would definitely think seriously about a composting toilet.
Plenty of videos about the subject on Youtube, and just the fact that you only empty every two or three months has to be totally workable, especially for those of us that like to disappear for months at a time.

In organic chemistry A formyl joined with a hydrocarbon side chain I believes gives formaldehyde (embalming fluid!)
The presence of this chemical in some of the ’blue’ liquids is why many campsites ask for green only as this is not septic friendly.

Rog didn't mean that. He meant Formil which is the brand name for Lidl's own brand washing stuff. Nothing to do with formaldehyde. I use the same. Smells much nicer than the horrible blue stuff that stains everything, and, unlike the eco friendly green stuff, it does actually hide any nasty smells and break down solids so the cassette can be emptied more easily without lumps getting stuck.
