HILARIOUS! First Time Emptying a Cassette Toilet - Ep. 76

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.

[@Froggie24546]

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 .

[@FoxesAfloat]

OMG! That's put me right off my Weetabix 😂😂😂 Puts this video into perspective 😕

[@AussieBoater]

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]

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.

[@lordaxminister]

Reminds me of when I emptied our cassette some years back and it sounded like a machine gun on the steel bowel! Found out later our grandson had emptied a bag of glass marbles into the boat toilet! 😂😂

Absolutely brilliant guys . Laughed my socks off . I got a touring caravan and it's my favorite job emptying the toilet . No I'm telling lies . My wife couldn't do it because she would be as sick as a dog . And yes doesn't matter how carefully I empty the cassette I always get splashed . Top tip I never put the cassette cap anywhere near the emptying point . Just in case it goes down the hole . You wouldn't get it back trust me . Love your videos always thoroughly enjoy them . Keep up the good work👍.

[@FoxesAfloat]

The most unenviable job in the world! 💩 😂

[@banjo4829]

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.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Great tip 👍🏻

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.

Keep up the great work team NB Silver Fox.

Thanks, Dave! 😂🙈💩

Wish I’de known you were at Red Bull Warf I only live half a mile away and we walk there quite a lot.

[@FoxesAfloat]

It was lovely. Not the horror we'd been warned about. 💩 😂

[@denisewheeler4645]

You have cheered up a very chilly afternoon we have one of those toilets in our touring caravan but we have a no poo rule, because we are always based on a campsite so I don’t mind emptying it 🤣 a big thumbs up to Shaun for doing the last 6 months. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@FoxesAfloat]

No poo rule? WTF?!? You use communal toilets? Ewww! 💩 😂

[@joerg-michajahn4963]

I lost it when you said "I am gonna assume that you are not eating at the moment." - I had dialed up this episode (again) just to enjoy while eating my dessert, yet forgotten about that bit! 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. Actually, the sound does it for me! Must-see-KZbin for everyone who wants to use a cassette (or be convinced otherwise). Cheers!

Put the lid on when you shake for God's sake. 🤣

[@FoxesAfloat]

Nope 💩 😂

[@stephencarroll1087]

Absolutely hilarious :-)

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you! 💩 😂

[@mareepeters5717]

Great video, I learnt heaps. Thank you

[@lesleysilverstone2868]

When we were RV-ing we had a porta potty that had a "container" at the bottom that detached much like your cassette. We did finally get to the point that we only used it "lightly" and availed ourselves of all bathrooms along the way. We did have some marine blue that we put in it...but oh! yes! the gag reflex...Colin you are priceless.

[@FoxesAfloat]

We're changing our toilet. Watch this space 😂

[@lancpudn]

Nice one Colin, was that after the curry night? reminds me of the shawshank redemtion film......... "Andy dufresne, the man who crawled through 500 yards of $hit and came out clean the other end" thanks for the laugh guys.

[@FoxesAfloat]

I'm not emptying it again and I'm definitely not crawling through it! 💩 😂

[@Chris.H13]

Is it just a coincidence that you posted this today, or did you know that today is World Toilet Day! No kidding, it's a thing!

[@FoxesAfloat]

We knew 😉

[@mitchellleek9645]

This video has literally made my day 😂 so entertaining, currently on annual leave so I’ve watched many of your vlogs over the last few days - more than I’d like to openly admit. Currently trying to buy my own narrow boat for me and my partner to live on, with my dog Honey and your vlogs are really giving me inspiration for where I want to go on the network, so thank you. 🙂

[@FoxesAfloat]

Our pleasure!

[@MalKyle1]

This may just rate as the funniest video I've seen on KZbin. Superb as ever gentlemen. Thank you

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed it, Malcolm 💩 😂

[@taulinerutherford802]

If you put Vicks or Mentholadem under your nose (above your upper lip), it covers a whole lot of nasty smells! It’s a trick forensic personnel use. Aren’t I helpful! ;-) Happy boating!

[@FoxesAfloat]

👍

[@mikemiller2538]

Why am I watching a bloke emptying a sh1t bucket,what has my life come too? Because it was an entertaining and educating experience even though I hope I never have to use this new found skill. I will just keep flushing.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! You have the better choice 😂👍🏻

[@callummitchell7538]

We use chemicals in the caravan. Blue in the loo and pink for flushing through. We dont do off grid camping though, so it's no.1s only. If you need do a download, it's the walk of shame to the toilet blocks - also referred to as the brown trouser run.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Ah, number ones don't count. It's only when you mix 1's and 2's you get this special brew 💩 😂

[@johnmorris7781]

Right! that's me decided - I'm either getting a houseboy or a combustion loo! Thanks as always Foxes, that was great, though I may have nightmares!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Houseboy! I need a houseboy! 💩 😂

[@numbersix1908]

Very much appreciated the pixelation. The sound was graphic enough, though!!

[@FoxesAfloat]

🤣

[@QueenKattz]

HOLY S**T That answered all of my questions.....lol xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

I would say good, but that's probably not what you wanted to hear 😂💩

[@thomasolsson8816]

That was so hilarious iam so sorry but it was. Thanks for cheering your experience.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Don't apologise! 💩 😂

[@240aking]

Hi Colin, great video again, made me laugh the whole way through especially when Shaun started laughing, but I know how you feel we gave a summer house with a compost toilet and you guessed its me that gets the great job of cleaning it. Again thanks for brightening the day.

[@240aking]

Hi again it should read have not gave, I love T9 auto correct

[@FoxesAfloat]

We’re swapping ours for a composting loo 😉
