Toilet while travelling

Always ready to use if required and emptied when we leave locations.

We only stay at most locations from one to three nights.

Always use transit facilities on route...except when the fee is over 50 cents....normally free in the UK

 

We always empty and clean ours before travelling but it is always available to use if necessary.  We usually find a good layby when travelling for food and comfort breaks as we don't like motorway services.

I always travel with it empty and fill up on site but that's just me,from a stability point of view I personally wouldn't travel with the flush tank full, it also might leak. But a litre or less so in both the cassette and flush won't make any difference. An alternative is having a two litre bottle of water and those blue sachets so you can get the toilet ready very quickly.  

Mine is  always  primed,  ready  for  use  24/7  !!  Emptied  on  leaving  any  site  etc  but  always  prepared.  Well  the  club  calls  it  a  motorHOME   

As a chap of a certain age one of life's little pleasures is the convenience, availability and relief through access to my nice clean m/home loo.

I empty it and fill the flush tank as and when it needs it whether travelling or stopped for a few days.

It may be worth looking at the Thetford manual for your toilet.

Thetford manual  for C220 toilet page 2 reads ."Important warning notice. Please do not travel with water in the flush tank of your toilet. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in water damage to your caravan or motor home"

It happened to us and resulted in water damage and a new wall panel  being needed. We never now travel with water in the flush tank. Because of the warning any repairs needed would probably not be done under warranty.

We do still use the toilet if necessary when travelling but keep a small amount of water to flush in a separate container making sure it cannot be easily spilled.

The manufacturers have always advised that toilets/flush tanks travel empty.

Since their invention many of us have totally ignored that advice and it has never caused a problem and I am sure it never will

As it's the start of the holiday rush and traffic jams I wouldn't want to be without our onboard loo at any time of the journey.

Never had  problem in 9 years.
