Much against my better judgement, our Senator Indiana has one of those combined shower and toilet compartments which I swore blind we'd never have. However, now into our third season with the darn arrangement we are by now more or less used to it. The toilet is the Thetford cassette model with an inbuilt flushing tank, which is filled from an external filling point. Nothing unusual in that you may say. Indeed. But I've always found it a bit of a fag offering up a six litre container, which always spilled over my feet as I refilled the tank. Usually the container was a fresh water container, kept in the car to supply water to the kettle and camping stove if we fancied a cuppa after a sweaty summer walk. Unfortunately, if the container is left in the car too long, then water and container tend to go green, so a week or two ago, I brought the container indoors to disinfect and refresh it. So of course, and you can see where I'm going here, when we left for our latest trip, said container was forgotten and left at home. So what to do when toilet tank needed refilling? Being a resourceful alpha male, (actually more a beta version I guess,) and a well experienced caravanner, I suggested to Mrs LK that she should hand out through the toilet compartment window, enough litre jugs of water as would be needed to fill the tank - OK she said, being a helpful and resourceful wife and helpmeet.
Now I realise that all you guys, being that more experienced than I, will for many years have been using the solution which Mrs LK came up with whilst visiting the compartment and sitting on the seat of all wisdom, but just in case, I offer up her suggestion for such usefulness as it may confer.
Why not she said, simply remove the shower head from the shower hose, and I'll hand it to you through the window, and the tank can simply be filled from the aforementioned hose. D U H ! ! ! ! !
Either way the water still has to Aqua-rolled to the 'van, but at least after three years I can now fill the darn tank without getting soggy feet.
