Thanks Rowena but we are totally different to motor homes that have cassette toilets we carry 45 gal black water holding tanks and 48 gal grey waste tanks and it's not just a case of wheeling a cassette over to an Elsan point we have to take the whole RV over and connect up a 3" pipe to dump the waste....

 

oh the generators are quieter this year much better

But at least you have a well designed dump system not like the majority of those made this side of the Pondwink

We were firm Caravaners, and enjoyed our annual pilgrimage to the nationals each year till it was stolen last Oct and like everyone, made the regular trips to empty the cassettes. One big advantage is it feels more like a real loo to use..

Least now it's one big 45Gal dump, but yes much easier to do if at ground level but as you know all our sites are set up with Elsan points 2 ft off the ground so have to lift a manhole to dump

I'm just hoping that with more American caravans RV's and 5th wheels coming into the country the Caravan Club will wake up and provide dumping area for us at their club sites all it needs would be a 4" pipe connected to the main sewer and a tap, another plus for the RV is it doesn't use chemicals it works like the SOG systems fitted to some caravans.

But anyway that's enough loo talk back to talking about the Nationals and I'm waiting to book now for next year

Seems to have gone really well this year but still a shame that the CAMC don't get professionals like Warners to choose the site and manage the event.

I thought the grass was far too long, it was high enough to get caught in the car and van door and it could have been dangerous if kids were lying in it and cars driving through it.

At the opening it was very moving with the laying of the wreaths but I was disgusted that none of the platform party bothered to stand.
