Extracting sniffy loo, via extractor fan (1 Viewer)

[44658]

Whilst on a site recently, a van had an electric extractor fan system fitted to the Thetford waste door.
What is it called? Who supplies and are they easily fitted?
Any info please

You also don't need to use any chemicles with a SOG IMHO well worth the money

 

[Zigisla]

A fair few You Tube videos of fitting them. really easy to do, bit of electrics and a few holes to drill.

SOG are not the only people who sell extract fans for toilets. If you have a Thetford 250 or 260 toilet they already have an extractor system built into the cassette. All you need to do is buy their extract kit to make it work.

Our previous motorhome (2008} and our new one both had it fitted as standard. Extracts under the floor so no vents in the door. And, inlike the SOG you do not have to disconnect and reconnect everytime you empty the loo, it is done automatically when you slide it out and back in.

We use our SOG toilet just the same as a normal loo with chemicals and all, the difference being that you can have a poo with the door open if you want and there won't be any stinky smells escaping into the bathroom or bedroom. The fan draws the whiffs backwards and up, in our case, a little chimney and out of the roof. It's a boon!

Theres a thread on here how to diy one for about a tenner using a computer fan

On the new van I order a SOG and it came fitted but they didn't use the existing vent in the cassette like they did in the last van which had a C402 the bench loo. This van has a C260 and to my suprise it came with all the bits for the Thetford venting and the fan was fitted an enabled but the filter wasn't fitted, I got the dealer to disable the fan as it wasn't doing anything and it was a really noisy fan.
I was a bit miffed at first as I'd paid €180 for the SOG and the van came with the Thetford equivalent but after reading the instructions I was a happy bunny. The SOG you change the filter once a year with the Thetford it says change the filter every season after 4 weeks of use, I can see why, it's a tiny filter compared to the SOG under floor extraction filter & there is not much difference in the price. That's not even one trip for us and would work out very expensive.
Also the Thetford one only works when you flush the loo where the SOG kicks in when you open the blade.

we had one on our first MH, not sure whether it was fitted wrongly but we had 2 significant issues

1. When travelling with a full cassette when wild camping, brown liquid ended up running out of the SOG outlet down side of MH

2. When taking the cassette out you had to disconnect and bung up the hose connection, which I also did when travelling to avoid above, this connection is directly to the top of the cassette so not pleasant

As far as I know ours had no filter fitted so any odour was just passed on to whoever was next door

Not a fan myself, but now have a black tank anyway

Been using SOG's for 10 years never had one leak, roof vent ones don't have a filter, under floor and door vent ones do, the door vent ones do need changing regularly if you use the van a lot, more than the once a year they state or it can get a bit smelly outside. The underfloor ones have a plastic canister filled with active charcoal so present a far bigger area of filtering and work better but are expensive, I've kept an old one to have a go at refilling it.

One advantage of the floor & roof vents if you stink out the neighbours they don't know it's you.

Just don't park next to one with a door vent !! I see they should have a filter but think folks are either too tight to buy a new one when needed or they don't work !!!

...and falls onto the neighbours...

But our poo smells like unicorn and rainbow perfume and the sweet aroma falleth like the rain from heaven on those fortunate to be around us......

Or you get your own back through an open rooflight as my mate found out.
