  • In this HILARIOUS video, Colin empties our narrowboat Thetford cassette toilet at a canal side Elsan point for the first time with stomach-churning results! Emptying a cassette toilet is pretty simple, but kind of gross too!
    It's the same principle for caravan toilets, motorhome and RV toilets too, but we use our Thetford Cassette Toilet on our narrowboat. Check out loads of narrowboat toilet tips too.
    Thanks to the Canal and River Trust for allowing us to film this in the services at Red Bull Wharf.
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    My wife and I traveled full time for 6 1/2 years in our caravan in Australia, we never used any cassette toilet chemicals at all (nasty stuff that only disguises the smell and doesn't break down the waste, it also contains formaldehyde) we only used Napisan or to be correct, sodium percarbonate, this breaks down the solids, kills the bacteria and smells and is safe (no formaldehydes).
    We used to buy the Aldi equivalent in 3kg tubs. 2 desert spoons full in a little warm water to start with then 1 teaspoon after each toilet use. The product is an oxygenation and as it works it's by product is water. Another plus is it is totally safe in septic systems unlike many normal toilet chemicals.
    No bleaches or piney smells needed either. these actually inhibit the oxygen action.

    Hi Colin and Shaun , I can tell you a very funny story regarding emptying portable toilets . . I worked for an airline company here in Australia. A colleague of mine was on toilet duty emptying aircraft toilets . This particular day it was a 747 . Now this had arrived from overseas so all the loos would have been chock full ! To access the outside drain you had to stand upon the “ honey cart “ as the toilet truck was nicknamed and put the pipe and connector into the access point under the rear of this huge plane . Once the pipe was engaged you had to pull a plunger so the contents could pour into the truck’s large tank. On this occasion something had blocked the pipe and nothing appeared to be pouring down the pipe! Thinking it was the truck pipe my poor colleague disengaged the pipe whilst standing on this truck and released it , only to be covered in a deluge of muck , nowhere to run ! Poor fellow jumped luckily not breaking any bones ! I was on the watering truck replenishing the potable water not too far from the crap truck . So aimed the hose on my colleague washing him down . Meanwhile the tarmac was covered in blue foul smelling liquid and toilet paper . This sort of accident happens occasionally at airport so Colin you have all my sympathy , poor Shaun must have a tough constitution lol .

    @AussieBoater 4 года назад +6

    I don't envy you boaters with cassettes (or pump outs). Best decision I made was to remove the existing pump out loo and make my own "dry" compost type loo. I use the ash from my fire which suppresses all odours and helps break down the solids. The liquids is separated and stored in 5L containers for disposal in the bush away from the canal. I've only ever visited an elsan point once and that was enough. With the compost loo, I use no chemicals, there's no smell and little fuss.

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  4 года назад +3

      Exactly the reason we're switching to composting. We wanted one before but have been waiting for one that we think will compliment the boat design, which we think we've found.

It's a brilliant video - and also really informative. When David from CruisingTheCut clears his cassette, it looks about as horrible as slicing cake. When Collin does it ... well, it is just real.

    As a caravanner who would like to be on the water, Colin, i have to say you really are a softy. I find the green organic toilet liquid leaves the sweetest smell in our casette. Don't you open the top flap to see if you've got rid of any residue (toilet tissue gets wrapped around the float arm) saving all that water flushing till it runs clean. Within a few hours you will only be making it filthy again so all the "over the top" cleaning is wasted. Excellent VLOG though. Laughed all the way through.
