Toilet while travelling

What's every body's thoughts on travelling with the toilet ready to use, or after a stopover? we've always travelled with everything empty, but heading to Cornwall shortly and wondering if it would cut out a lot of hassle having it ready to use when children decide they need the toilet! and also after our overnight we'd be quicker away if we didn't empty till we got to our final destination, thanks

We always have ours ready to use, maybe up to a half flush tank, nothing exact.

On our journeys we always make lunch in the van and always use our own facilities.

Would only empty before travelling  if at least half full.

 As above always have it to use, enough flush for what you need mine is 1/4 full. Have to have it ready, before l enter the motorway always ask the wife do you need the loo, answer no 3 mile down she say's l need the loo, true

I don't bother with the flush as there is normally a litre or so availabe. Always have the cassette emptied and recharged for use before travel

the toilet is an integral part of our vans features and its there to be used, far handier than finding 'somewhere else'smile

Does using this facility have an adverse effect on the nose weight? embarassed

If OH were using it whilst I was actually towing it might!

Rather her than me. Even using it in some pull ins on normal roads it shakes the van a bit as HGV's pass. Must be really bad at the side of a busy motorway.

On the OP, I always recharge ours before travel. Although only travel with a few litres in the flush.

We always have enough water on board for a cuppa and facility use whilst travelling, no separate flush, including handwash. As a rule we empty before travelling but use during the journey be that to and from some point or part of a day out. It has proved fantastic with traffic hold up's refreshments and comfort break without effort 😂.  It would always have something in for travelling even if its only the water plus chemical.
