Cassette cleaning machine??!!

There’s one (or was one anyway) at the Lomond Woods site in Balloch on Loch Lomond. And also at Camping Eden in Peniscola. I managed to restrain my curiosity though.
 
There's one at the Caravan & Motorhome Club site at Abbey Wood, London. Wasn't brave enough to give it a go! Think it cost something like £2 to use.
 
The wife does the toilet but she’s the one who uses it😂 I won’t be giving her two quid so hope she won’t see this anywhere or I’m broke

The video shows the station at site mentioned!! 🤣 guess you decided not to watch video 🤣
 
I think they add blue as well so not suitable for everyone. You still have to take the cap off as well.
 
They appear occasionally in Spain too. Tried one once. Personally I think you can do a better job of rinsing the cassette yourself but hey....worth a try once if you see one just for the novelty of it

Certainly didn't take the cap off in the video, and no mention of it on the machine instructions either from what I could see?

All listed on the camperclean website - Europe wide.

I would imagine so as well. Just thought it was interesting and could be a really good way for certain places to provide a service for motorhome users whilst also making a small profit for the local coffers.

I only became aware of them half an hour ago. I was looking at a campsite in Croatia and they had a whole page devoted to this machine. They provide theirs free of charge for people staying on site and it interested me!
 
I wouldn't say it cleans it just empties it. You must take the cap off yourself whatever the video or instructions say

Yes from that point of view they are an excellent idea.

Ok, I've just checked the makes website, as well as 4 other videos showing people using these machines. In none of them do the users remove the cap, so I feel confident in saying that no, you don't have to remove it at all.
 
I used one in Germany at Durrwang when changing vans it didn’t clean cassette as well as I would if doing it manually and didn’t have to take off cap😊
 
I saw one of these at a site in Oban I think it was. I never used it though.
 
Ok you have a super clean loo when you use this machine,,but for how long? Are you not going to use it again? First time it's used your back to how it was.Pointless..BUSBY.

I used a Thetford branded machine in Spain that was different then as cap had to be removed and from memory it looked like machine tilted and tipped cassette like you would yourself. There must be different types out there.
 
Think there is, or was, one at Coniston CMC site.

Ah I see. I think it must be a different machine as this one appears to do both Thetford and Dometic cassettes. From the noise of it, I would think it's using a vacuum system to empty and maybe a high=pressure water jet to clean?
 
The one at love 2 stay you had to take the cap off. Perhaps they have updated them?

Yes, when in Croatia a few years back they had them on a few sites and they were indeed free to use…
