It's amazing what rubbish you will talk about at 1am in the morning sat around a camp fire with a few (dozen) beers.

But can you help clear something up please.  When you pee into the van bog are you supposed to open the blade before or after the event?

lol

I thought Van Bogs was mebbe a new make of Dutch caravan.

If I was you and drinking a few dozen beers I reckon I'd be peeing in the camp site facilities...

But the mystery of the blade.. is there one? I'd be wary of opening it in advance of the micturation and if I did I'd be very carful to make sure all was stowed away before shutting it...

I now know why I'm teetotal

:-)

Blimey what a question! I'll bet this is going to open up all sorts of dialogue about bodily functions!!!!!!!!

However FYI we always open our flap before use both for No1's and No2's.

Cheers!

Open before for boys (to avoid splashback), and after for the girls

Before here, both girls and boys, number 1's and (in emergencies only please) number 2's.

Was told it could decrease the life span of the rubber seals if opened after as the acids are in contact for longer.

Suppose it depends if you remember to open it after or just leave 'it' sitting there.

Having experienced leakage between the two halves with the blade closed, Inow always opt for blade open.

Normally just a crack for No 1s. as it prevents the build up of liquid, and subsequent leakage.

As i am new to this game, i found out it is better to leave the blade open for #1's
As i have a portable potti the sealing latch is at the back, when you come to put it back in the cupboard DONT !! pick it up, slide it across the floor.
If lifted in any way the seal will be broken between the bowl and the sump, this results in an unexpected foot bath, not what you want.
