    Very true! The more you do it, the less mess you make though. Until you try to film it!

    We do ours about every 6 weeks and I'm a bit anal regarding gloves etc! Think it's working in a hospital

    Talking about pumping out toilets whilst eating. I guess that living on boats gives you a strong stomach for such things... Also, I suspect the most important thing is don't, whatever you do, drop the cap of the holding tank in the canal...

    Not all pumpouts have macerators, some are just dump through. It's also more usual, in my experience, to take the boat to a pumpout station although there are boats and land based operators that will come to you. Plumbed-in is very handy!

    When you finish your first pump you then fill with clean water and pump again to clean your tank , I do ours about four times to make sure it is clean , if you just pump once half of your nice sludge is still on the bottom of your tank nice ...

    @@brain8484 because when you pour the waste out obviously that is still some in the tank so even if you're an eco-warrior you need to rinse the tank at least once although twice would be even better as you will be sure it is nice and clean it before you put it back also if you never clean it properly it will stink to high heavens you might enjoy that but I certainly wouldn't

    have you considered fitting a waste tank level gauge rather than relying on guesswork?my choice after looking at the options is cassette but you will always have pros and cons to each type.looks like everything going well for you.your cat looks a mischievous onemy cat is 16 and she can be still demanding from time to time.

    Well that's not to far off sorting the plumbing after the kids have gone mad with the loo roll! Whats the cap next to the pump out cap? Unfortunate that the weather was fairly nice ... better luck next time 😂

    Matt Allen it's a rinse. You can run water in there to help the poop along and make sure you've got it all out. When there's no more brown, you're done

    v good vlog, i thort everything would be sealed of etc if you know what i mean, wasnt expecting to see, a few umh drops of waste here and there so to speak lol. you show it how it is though well done, think if i ever get a boat would prefer a cassette loo, do you not have a gauge in a caravan the cassette loo has one and it goes on red when its getting full x

    tracy fun our suction isn't great, so that may be a factor with the spillage, but it's just a messy job even when it's clean. There's no warning light, only a full light, so you get to know when to do it in other ways
