Don't know about John, but when we were parked next to Ian Lougher a few years ago at the Southern, he had a cassette thing which he took out every morning and emptied at the toilet block. We used to joke about his place in the team as toilet emptier!

Yep. If it was me I'd only use the motorhome's facilities during the night.

Yeah, looks like that's the best plan. I was thinking more about washing up water. Might see if we can get a waste water container. I have sent a message to John.

Should of thought of this sooner. Wish I was taking my caravan now. You know where you stand when it's your own stuff don't you.

Remember, seeing a motor home filling water tanks,, would presume waste tanks would last a fortnight, if you use the showers and toilets for no 2's !!!!!
Nice touch from your sponsor mate

Bruce, I've been blown away by the help and support from everybody. Amazing.

Thank you all.

Steve, waste container would be great if possible.

Save Black tank capacity for middle of the night convenience and occasionally leak a little grey water overnight. Refill fresh tanks with a long hose or portable 20-40 liter cans. At least that's my strategy on this side of the pond for longer meetings with large crew turnout. :-)
