Cassette toilet slide has jammed

Getting my hands a bit 5hity vs £100 the 5hit will win every time. I've mucked out many a shipon and changed many a nappy so not averse to a bit of poo.😉

I keep a can of silicone spray . This comes n very handy on blades, window blinds and fly screens. Don't know if it would stop seizures but the said items slide so very much easier in normal use.

£600? Wow! I never now pull my cassette on it’s wheels whether it was a Thetford or a Dometic. I went into a charity shop and bought one of those shopping trolleys you see ‘older people’ using- took the bag off it and the cassette fits perfectly. Dual purpose- when the loo business is done it easily reverts to a shopping cart again.

If it had just been an issue with the wheels Merve, I would have done the same - or used the bungey cords to attach it to the Wastemaster. It was the fact that it leaked from the slider when it was tipped up, from day one - despite there being plenty of silicone grease on it, plus the handle issue and finally the flush mechanism failing - all after just 5 months.

The whole thing was just badly designed and far too complicated for its own good. Although I was a bit miffed at having to shell out that sort of money, I get so annoyed when things don't work as they should and at least the problems have been sorted, once and for all (hopefully!)

Is anyone seriously expected to carry their toilet waste tank on a wastemaster?

I have done it many a time that way in the past, especially when we rallied and had a long way to the disposal pit. However nowadays I just carry the toilet waste tank horizonally, be it partly empty or full, and doubt very much that I've towed it by hand more than a couple of times during the last 8 yrs and 500 or so empties.

An osteopath will tell you that it’s better to carry something heavy with both hands to distribute the weight evenly across the body. I’m sure we’ve all seen a person carrying a heavy cassette vertically in one hand while leaning sideways in the opposite direction to counterbalance it. Imagine the stress and strain that imposes on the spine and muscles. 

Ours gets pulled along on its wheels when full, surface permitting, but more often than not it’s emptied by driving via the CDP/MHSP when leaving a site. That’s easier still😀
