wastemaster and copies

Nope, tongue in cheek would have involved the use of smileys.

It’s confusing because you talked about Wastemasters and then said you carried your waste container creating the impression by implication that yours is a WM.

Your container, it turns out, will weigh around 25kg when full but you can’t carry a WM. No wonder I’m confused

Good on you, I wish I could carry 25kg to the service point. 

 

 

I don't know when it was, but it must have been a very long time ago that someone, to make life better for mankind, invented the wheel.

However, carrying a waste tank must be the ultimate in one-up-manship amongst those who are into retro.

oops....I generally carry (quietly) my full toilet cassette to the CCEP mainly as the roads are so bumpy it would bounce all over the place....and we don't want that...

 

Our previous cassette had a large capacity, no wheels and was b***** heavy whereas our new one has little capacity, wheels and is so light I always carry it. 

Has anyone even suggest to the manufactures that they might like to try rubber wheels 

 

Thought not 

 

Come on they are really annoying when you're still counting the Zzzzzz's  Why does some folk  think that just because you are on a campsite you should expect noise.

Like others on here we often tour abroad I'm sure I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have been woken to noise over there, its usually by a Brit and the flipping WM or a sliding door. Over here I would say the times I am 'not' woken I am very grateful. Sites don't have to be noisy its folk that are noisy. 

I don't expect noise on a campsite but I'm realistic and don't expect silence either. Really annoying? Not to me. Perhaps you're a very light sleeper, TG.

My sliding door will only close properly if slid and slammed. There's nowt I can do about that other than use it as little as possible. But, on the upside, I dont have a wheeled water container. Swings and roundabouts.

I think it a little selfish that others want me to be quiet when I trundle along the road at 6am with my plastic wheeled Fiamma. I like to make the most of my day and if I can help others do the same, I consider my good deed done. I get lots of thumbs up through the crack in the curtains.

On the few occasions we have left early, it is possible to pull a fullish wastemaster  quietly, just not at speed. Also utilise the grass as much as possible. I always carry the empty one back whatever the time of day, as they do make a horrendous racket.

Personally I have never been disturbed by early morning trundling, but appreciate that others are more easily disturbed. It just requires a bit of thought and consideration. The same as not opening and slamming the car door every time you put something in it at the crack of dawn.

I don't normally bother about starting to get ready for departure until 8am and then try to do so quietly. Usually aim for 70 to 130 mile drive to next site and so departure from one site depends on arrival at the next.  Normally leave site between 9am and 10.15am.

If, for some reason, we want to move earlier I get rid of water the night before. Next morning cups etc can be rinsed in sink and water let to run out as no fats or soap
