This I did and kept the screen door open so I didn't suffocate and got on with the job. Things proceeded quite well until the cook shouted "Here comes a bloke with another Disco" and I just knew he was going to stop for a chat!
I tried to hurry, the bog collapsed and I sat in what I'd just produced!!! There I was desperately trying to clean myself, the cook was trying to explain where I was and keep the nosey (and he really was) bloke from poking his nose in the van.
Eventually I staggered out hoping I didn't stink too much and after much lie telling he cleared off.
Then all I had to do was clean the mess up I'd caused, wash the carpet and then continue on our way.
We've now got a Bi-pot of 11ltrs capacity because it fits well in the hold when the camper is closed.
And it won't collapse under me........
