Thanks for checking out the video. Don't forget to check out the link in the notes to get places to empty properly. And if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Once again great advice. Thanks Kat.👍❤️

Really good advice!

Brilliant love watching you

Really useful, thanks.

Considering buying my first camper. Very informative

Thanks great vlog 👍

We bought a second cassette, has helped us out of trouble many rimes…our Hymer 524 has the perfect storage place just inside the garage, on the right of the door.

Just watched this, thank you, agree re the toilet paper, as boaters/hope to to be campervaners we do the same!

Agree with the car park drains are rainwater only but yes in a street they are full of car washing detergent so when needs must . Like you we use a CL etc every four days when we need services . Tip upon leaving in the morning fill again and re empty the toilet as that is another night before needed again ( use half the fluid night prior ) The public toilet thing can be a bit of a social poobar thing. I personally think putting paper ( especially as you mentioned the cheap stuff ) makes no difference to the fullness of the cassette and if is just nice not having a bag of

You can get the radar keys for disabled toilets from ebay very cheaply, obviously use them at quiet times when nobody is likely to need them.

The dodo got you a thumbs up😊

Yet another great tip and wonderfully presented. Love your posts!!! Did I read somewhere you once worked at LATCC?

Hi Kat, great video very informative as always. Just to let you know Kat we have bought our very first motorhome, we won’t be getting it until November but so worth the wait. Three years of researching and finally it’s happening xx

As an American RV camper. Thats often lost in Europe. Good advice.

For drinking water we always use bottled water,and will fill where we can for water to wash with and never have had a problem.

I've heard about not putting the toilet paper in the cassette but what bin would you dispose of the soiled paper in? I'm assuming not a regular bin?

We disposed of toilet paper the same way when we lived in Spain so we are used to putting it in a bag. Thanks for reminding me.

Hi thanks for another good video. On another site I read that some people who do lot of wild camping have bought a second cassette and just when full put it in a good quality refuge bag and put-in the garage that is if you have one.

This is what we do...Toilet waste: we carry a spare cassette so that when one is full just substitute the other. Then we empty both when we get the opportunity at a suitable location. Pee bottles are really good in saving cassette volume, the man about the van uses a 5 litre water container sold in all supermarkets. For fresh water, we carry 8 by 5 litre containers as well as the main tank. Never had a problem.

waste disposal in my case is fairly easy: I only have a grey water tank which is a shopping bag on wheels style tank which is set underneath the van when I expect to produce water which is fairly nasty: like when I am doing dishes or a small laundry washing session by hand. For the rest of the cases it just runs out onto the pavement of ground (no point in being anal about clean water (used to rinse something in the galley leaving the van and entering the ground) When I shower in the van I also put the roll away tank under the outflow pipe. Garbage is as much as possible seperated and disposed of in the usual manor everybody is used to by now. Every town in Europe has some form of separated garbage bins which are mostly free to use. My van does not produce black water since I use a dry/waterless/composting toilet setup. The number one waste is either poured into a waste water disposal facility at a rv park up (most countries in europe have these in many towns) or I do the shopping bag camo trick and take the pee jug into a public toilet and do my business there. The solid waste (which is dried and mixed with sawdust) is disposed of in a larger garbage container at gas stations, rest areas or the rv park up. No smells emanate from the bag and why should I worry about a few turds in a bag with sawdust when large groups dump there one time use nappies full of baby duty left right and centre? Te get water is not difficult: I have this little bag of tricks which contains all sorts of interesting connecter and adapters which allows me to get a hose connected to just about any tap out there, even the ones which are ridiculously close to the washbowl you can not even get a cup underneath... I use 2 19L jugs to keep my water in and I am able to take the jugs to the tap and fill tem using a drag along shopping bag cart without the bag to transport the 20kg jugs back to the van. I also use a set of two 5L jugs as a backup water source so I am able to have roughly 50 L of water in the van when fully stocked. When I distrust the water from the municipal tap I will buy drinking water in bottles or larger jugs to drink,make tea of coffee and cook with. I am contemplating getting some kind of water filter but as yet I have not seen the need for one since I have been traveling the more civilised parts of western europe where lead pipes, heavily chlorinated tap water and legionella are not really an issue. When I take water from any publicly accessible tap (campgrounds, rv park ups, parks, public toilets, restrooms at the gas stations) I bring along a piece of paper towel which I put a little disinfecting soap on to clean the spout and tap thoroughly with, just in case some horses pattoot has decided to stick his freshly emptied cassette toilet thing under said tap contaminating the spout with his misery... People, especially French people are masters of being a-holes like that....

Good video. We use a pee bottle, don't put paper in the toilet and also use the tablets that dissolves the solids. Helps emptying but don't use to early as they do increases the smell.

I know it but it's still really useful THANK YOU! ☺

ive got one of those plastic pee bottles like you get in hospitals the one i have has a lid very handy you can even keep one in the car for long journey emergancies

So like the drain on the side of a road can you park over one of them dump your grey waste

At home, water from shower, washing machine, sink etc. ie grey water, goes to the sewage system. So, why is it OK to put grey water from a motorhome into the rainwater system? For example a road side drain. Am I missing something?

Hi, The grey water can also be dropped on self car wash station while we give our motorhome an nice outside wash. Best regards, Carlos Araújo (Portugal)

Hi Kat We are looking at a new Moho with a large 'black water' tank - any thoughts on the practicalities of this??

Hi, is there any apps specifically for finding dump sits??

We have a spare toilet cassette - don’t know why nobody else seems to do this... no full cassette anxiety, extends off site stays etc etc. Sub £100 it’s a no brailer.

Morrisons garages usually have a tap in the petrol station

Liked your video but re cassette toilet waste I think you need to mention that you can only dispose in all public toilets with green chemicals as some, especially in the Scottish Highlands, may only be connected to septic tanks - not mains sewage systems.

Don't find that paper fills up the cassette any quicker, it's defo too much peeing and over flushing.

One little tip we have, if you’re going to use public toilets and you use chemicals in your cassette, check the public toilet doesn’t work on a septic tank or something similar as the chemicals in your cassette kill off the bacteria in the septic tank and subsequently put them out of use, which nobody wants ☺️ Great tips otherwise though 😁

I'm in the UK and thought it wasn't legal to wild park or camp in the UK

Graveyard taps. I spent years maintaining graveyards for the local council. We had no qualms about filling up the containers for mixing herbicides (or for any other purpose) from graveyard taps. It's mains water, not holy water. The only caveat would be isolated graveyards where there's no mains water, but there's maybe a water butt full of rainwater. Don't drink that. It's nasty. Also it's a very limited resource, for, shall we say, the more usual users of graveyards.

I was under the impression that grey waste should not be emptied in drains which are for rainwater only. In the UK rain and grey water drains are seperate things I believed. You definitely can't do that in France where we live, but we do have plentiful Aires. Also I am horrified at the amount of people converting Vans into campers but not putting a toilet in there, and then just doing their business all over the countryside and not just leaving their waste on the ground, but also their used toilet paper! If you have to pick up after your dog you definitely should after yourself.

Take one very long Motorhome, park at a angle by a Sainsbury Air & Water service point and spend about 40 minutes trying to fill your water with the trickle from the windscreen water hose. OK you will have a queue of angry motorists behind you and you will get in an argument with a Sainsbury worker but what the hell, you pay your VED and insurance. True

Sorry Kat but greywater is classed as waste so is not allowed in Rainwater system, this often goes straight into sea, rivers, water courses etc. Not to treatment plants. I use eco wu liquid, soaps etc in case we need to drop grey ‘in the wild’ but we are very careful where we do this, def not a gully in tesco car park etc. Obviously never the black... great vid, important message, thanks.

Hello Bird. Are you taller than your husband ?

Ehm, so where do you get water from - if not a campsite?

I will never ever piss in a bottle, are you mad?

Why on earth would your black waste cassette contents block a toilet? Bizarre thought, just pour it in and flush, simple as that.
