I carry a second cassette but only needed it once so far, but this year I have found quite a few portaloos beside road works/ lay-bys and building sites, obviously I would only use if easily accessible and with permission if people were around I use no chemical so no problem with cesspit,
My cassette fits into a rucksack so you could easily walk into any public WCs if needed without rousing suspicions by the anti camping brigade,
I also carry a radar key in case they are locked but making sure it's left cleaner than when I arrived,
When wild camping we use a a small garden spray pump to wash the toilet down rather than using the flush -saves a bit on water too. Makes emptying the cassette a little harder but not that difficult. Give it a try -I never fancied having a second cassette sloshing around in my van

@The Happy Couple If you join Wildcamping .co.uk you can download Poi'sfor sat nav with stand pipe locationsI'm interested to hear more about @TUCANO's experience of using c and cc sites facilities for a small fee. I tried this tactic with the caravan club - no deal
I'd be more than happy to part with say a fiver to dispose of my black waste and top up on fresh water and you'd think caravan club would be grateful for the extra revenue but apparently not!
We've adapted our toilet habits and can last for longer now than when we first started but fresh water is something we still need to work on.
Anyone have any ideas on how to source this when wild camping?

A radar key is what is used to access locked disabled toilets, it's only meant to be in the possession of those who need one, ie disabled, but not everyone who has one was 'issued' with it officially.Eh???

Most garages have an outside tap. I've used them occasionally & never been refused. I carry around 140 litres so it lasts about 5 days without any attempt at economic usage.I'm interested to hear more about @TUCANO's experience of using c and cc sites facilities for a small fee.

dont be tempted to just pee behind a bush and only use the cassette for solids all the time. you will need a tap to break down the build up of poo and flush it out. at least the urine content will keep any solids floating.
emptying a cassette containing predominantly solids is not a pleasant job. not that it is at other times, just far worse
if you plan being off grid for more than a couple of days, buy a second cassette

If anyone does use public toilets to empty black waste please do so discreetly and ensure that any spillage/splashing is cleaned up. A number of organisations have cited problems caused by motorhomers emptying "sanitary tanks" in public toilets as a reason not to allow motorhome parking in their car parks.Public Toilet POIs.. find under 'Community'
plus many many more...

Is carrying a Radar key just the same as the able-bodied parking in a disabled bay?
Providing you don't "park" there for an hour and leave the loo clean, I can't see an issue. You aren't denying any disabled people access (as you would if you were parking your car for a long time) as a quick cassette empty takes no more than a few seconds.
Didn't realise that anyone can buy them for a cpl of quid

I suspect that the Royal Association for Disability Rights (Radar) put a lot of effort into getting toilet access for disabled people.
Should they object to motorhomers taking adantage of their work?

don't use chemicals we have a trogOne problem with some public toilets (especially more remote ones) is that they are not be designed to deal with "bulk supplies" and/or chemicals. It was one of the factors which caused protests at West Sands, St Andrews a couple of years ago.
