For those with cassette toilets, is finding a place to empty the cassette ever a problem? After 22 years of rving I'm tired of dumping, leaking valves, and a leaking toilet.
This old thread keeps coming back to life. Anyway I did provide some information on dumping when I posted last Fall. As a quick summary, with two of us using the toilet almost exclusively (I often pee in the woods), the cassette needs to be dumped every few days. No doubt about it that is a nuisance. I typically dump at a regular dump station or dump into an outhouse. I have dumped in regular toilets but not when others are around. Unless I use a lot of chemicals, the odor in an enclosed area is bad.
I can give an example of the difference in dumping a cassette versus a black tank. Mammoth campground is one of my favorite areas in Yellowstone. The campground is large but without a dump station. If no one is around, I often use the flush toilet for dumping. Otherwise there are several nearby outhouses. If I had a black tank, the round trip to the Madison Campground dump is 70 miles and would take at least 2 hours. It seems there is always construction, tourist traffic or bison blocking the road. You would be lucky to do the round trip including dumping in under 4 hours.
