malc d Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I had heard that if you go into the mountains anywhere you should open your toilet cassete slightly because of the difference in air pressure as you go higher. I found it to be true. At about 3000 feet in the Pyrenees I opened the valve and a jet of 'water' narrowly missed me. Anyone else noticed that. We also had bottles of drinking water in the door pockets and when opened a certain amount of water shot out. So from now on I will leave valves,taps etc slightly open as I have been advised ( somewhere or other - can't remember where). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 It's not only altitude pressure. Normal atmospheric pressure changes whilst on the road can have a similar effect and I learnt long ago to open the loo valve with extreme caution whenever we stop. Also extreme warmth can do the same except that what exudes is warmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete lambert Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Leave the seat down until you've opened the loo shutter. That way, only the lid gets plastered!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peter Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I would think that if your'e that desperate, the last thing you are going to worry about is getting a wet bottle and glass. (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wet with clean water as per bidet is one thing but wet as with a mixture of Blue and other smelly unmentionables is quite another thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
