I'v fitted the controller in the washroom so I can play with it while I'm sitting on the bog. Brilliant idea. Is that some kind of joystick then?

I play with the joystick when I'm in the shower. That's why it's called a JOYstick!

I do hope you aren't intending to deposit number two's in your lavatory? It's not considered de rigueur by the better type of Motor Caravan owner. Number one's are permitted at night but when that happens the cassette must immediately be removed, emptied, carefully rinsed, disinfected and polished.
There are many threads about not crapping in your crapper on the serious web sites, posted by serious Motor Caravanners. Also a good many think that using your shower will devalue your Motor Caravan, so don't think you can crap in there either.
Really, imagine a Motor Caravan owner not knowing that.
This demonstrates once again that people should be required to use camp sites. There they will encounter helpful chaps in cardigans who will be happy to provide them with written guidance on matters of such vital importance.

Said like a true trawler - oops, I meant troller. Apparently there's a difference but don't worry, our nautical expert, Tuggles, will explain once he's finished affixing those solar panels underneath his van. I've got the batteries parallelled up now, and the panels are drilled for the mountings, just waiting for the tool to arrive so I can fit the rivnuts. Then I just have to attach it all to the chassis members. It's harder than I thought it would be, especially doing it singlehanded. Having to use blocks of wood to support the panels, but be careful not to damage them. I have some extra strong duck tape which will hopefully withstand any water splashing up from the tyres. Maybe I should have got a professional to do it for me? I'v fitted the controller in the washroom so I can play with it while I'm sitting on the bog. Brilliant idea. Perhaps I ought to employ Tuggles in the workshop for a couple of days to fix some certain bed slats on a van thats supposed to be coming on April 1st. He really sounds as though he knows what he is doing and is very competent, solar panels under the van and a controller on the bog, is that for 'excitement'

Having a dump at home you only get a splash and a wet arse. With the MH, you get a really satisfying thump as the turd lands in the cassette. It's one of the joys of MHing. Along with busting your oven door with your guitar.

The problem with laying a cable in the casette is splashback with the loo blue. Your arse ends up looking like mel gibson in braveheart.

Along with busting your oven door with your guitar. I Think with this yet again we have made motorhome forum history. I cannot believe that on any other forum will anyone have discussed the satisfaction one feels from the thud of a freshly laid turd hitting the bottom of an empty Thetford. I wondered for years if it was just me that enjoyed that. It is so liberating to be able to come on here finally and discuss such things openly. I feel life is sweet when the van is full of water, the solar panel is banging the amps needle against the wall, the laptop is charged and I have an empty thetford that I can drop a chocolate Soldier in. EDIT: Busting the oven door with a guitar while pretending to be The Who is not advisable.

I always favoured a plectrum. The oven door seems too unwieldy for the job to me.
Though it is perhaps worth considering that a plectrum would not be much good for keeping the heat in the oven, unless of course it was a large square or oblong plectrum filled with insulation or having a double glazed panel in it in which case it's worth as a plectrum would be questionable. The sale of goods act might be applicable there I think.
