I am not sure if there is supposed to be another warning system other than the red light to let you know when the toilet is full. I didn't get my van from new so I don't know if the light that is fitted actually works. Your help would be appreciated Attachment Deleted

Ignore the red light as it is but the first - and some say, premature - warning that your toilet needs emptying. Wait until the level of the putrefying contents reaches the rim of the bowl then go outside, twist the spout of the cassette so that it points away from your vehicle but directly at your neighbour's (especially if he is one of those Johnny Foreigners' who park far too close to you on aires) - briskly remove the cap and stand back as the jet of foul ordure splatters all over the other van.
Once the torrent has voided itself, replace the cap and retire inside your own vehicle, where you may enjoy a large G&T in the full knowledge that you have achieved something worthwhile and also helped cement Anglo-Foreign relations.

Good advice as always. I think that I must be getting close to that point as I am now having trouble closing the lid. We will heading over to France next year so I think I will wait until we get over there before carrying out your instructions.

I confess it happened to me with a Porta-Potti in my first campervan. We knew the Porta-Potti needed emptying and were on our way to find a suitable spot to do so - we were in the Western Highlands at the time and public loos were few and far between - but one of us (won't say which) was caught short and had to use it. Result: half the bowl was filled with solids and wouldn't drain as it had nowhere to go. Had to stop in a layby, dig a huge hole with my folding shovel, and bury the lot - no, not the Porta-Potti, just its contents. Then I had the unenviable job of cleaning and disinfecting the Porta-Potti, my clothes, arms, body, van, and my wife, whose fault it was anyway.
But you're right, Roger: once bitten twice shy, so it's never happened again.

Nice one Roger, I nearly upchucked my dinner watching that.
Liam, my good friend on FUCTS (I say he's my friend because the injunction has now finished) had a similar experience on the evening he invited guests to his van one evening, the removal of the cassette covered him in a torrent of poo'tential embarrassment. His wise words have stayed with me...he was also the one who told me you could never carry too many toilet rolls.
