I don't want to seem to be lowering the tone, but...........how do you empty the holding tank? Is it like fly-tipping?:hyper:
Just learn the difference between a storm drain and a sewer drain apparently looked on a few camping forums. I did read biological ones rather than Chemical ones can go in to soil much like a septic tank drains but they limit what you can use to wash dishes and hands etc.

Wot no chips and Beers... Mind me asking how much and for how long :-)


No chips, but plenty of beer. We hired it from Just Go, they were doing a special offer until the end of February, it was about £140 for 6 days which we thought was pretty good value.

I understand the difference between surface water and the smelly stuff, but where do you go to find a place to stick the smelly stuff? If you are a cruise ship captain, you just pootle about 4 (?) miles off-shore in the Med and pump out the contents of all the washing-up, bladders and bowels etc of 6000 passengers and crew.

Unfortunately, Fabbers' craft isn't amphibious.

Down a sewer drain apparently which I was quite surprised at. But I would guess that's illegal. Pretty sure you can get "natural" bacterial ones that can go to soil.

I've got a sewer pipe connected to my house, but all of the pipework, inside and out, is concealed. I don't want Fabbers reeling out his giant waste hose to reach my WC. Where does he stick it when he's out rocking down the road?

Erm what do you think those drains on some roads go to... BUT some are merely storm drains and soak to ground.

I thought that "surface water" ( the stuff from roads, gardens, motorways etc) resulting from rainwater falling from the sky, ended up pretty directly in watercourses, rivers and the sea without treatment. Raw sewage, and the stuff that goes down the basins and sinks and kharzis in your home gets directed to a water treatment plant, AKA a shitworks. Anyway, I'm not arguing, just curious where Fabber's fish and chips and gin slings , proseccos etc are going to end up.

We are having a glass of sherry, would anyone else like one ?
No thanks, I'm having glue and I think I'll stick with that.

Today (apparently), is Plimsoll Day. I take it they mean Samuel Plimsoll (1824-1898) rather than the lightweight sports shoes favoured by small children everywhere!
He is the man responsible for those strange lines and marks on the sides of ships. These are to make sure it isn't overloaded. He must be responsible for saving many lives at sea.
I raise my glass, sir.
