Advice please - emptying the toilet holding tank

WHAT, all these years i have been using the wrong toilet paper, why didn't my bottom tell me

As Norman Stanley Fletcher said "One up, one down and one to polish. Mind how you go"

Perhaps it's no wonder that so many prefer to use the toilet block.

UPDATE :

We've just got back from our first trip (2nd of the year) and having a week in the south Lake District.

On the advice given here and elsewhere, I put 3 bio pods in the toilet cassette with a bit of water - and one in the greywater tank for good measure.

The toilet was used for both options (1 & 2) and on emptying day everything came out perfectly easily. Two rinses with clean water and its 'as new'

Thank you to everyone who suggested the bio pods - its certainly a lot cheaper than using the blue stuff ( which I've learned is also carcinogenic !!) with no drawbacks in use.

Next time will also use cheap washing conditioner in the flush tank (smells nice and won't react with the bio pods) and from one feedback on another site, also makes the bowl more 'slippery'

The toilet block at Meathop Fell is lovely and normally I'd use it, but thanks to all your help I am now sorted when undertaking more 'wild' camping or at CL's with no facilities

Thank you all so much

moonchip, try 2 tabs, then 1......3 is a bit over the top, one seems to do the job....and still leaves the cassette perfectly clean....

would you put three washing tabs in your washing machine?

I'll try that BB, thank you

In the washing machine I only wash full loads so use 2 pods ..... but then again I don't cr*p in my washing machine

lol

...and we dont wash our clothes in the toilet....

seriously, worth a try cutting back, i really dont think youll see any difference....

i do have a bottle of 'blue' which im gradually getting rid of, so i add a very small splash to the cassette along with the tab.....seems be fine.....

Hello. I went on a trip to Dumfries and Galloway over Easter- great time despite mixed weather. But the Thetford toilet refused to flush. I guess there is a power supply as the 'tank full' light went on when appropriate. Any suggestions for a cause?

Write your comments here..Love that one. The mind boggles.  

The tank full light (if its the same as mine) is powered by a 9V battery somewhere in the cassette compartment and is activated by a float with a magnet inside the cassette itself

So its an electric flush? have you checked any fuses? There was a thread about this before but I know that's not much help. Hoepfully someone will be along who can post a better answer. Check the instructions for possible faults or ring Theford/your dealer.
