........ad nausea..........
If it seems a lot of money for a plastic hose and a fan, wait until you save a fortune on chemicals and special toilet paper!!I apologise if this question has been asked ad nausea but Im thinking of putting in a SOG kit thought i would check out the current thinking on this.

In emptying the cassette, some form of deodoriser is still required to kill the smell of the contents

I fitted this system a couple of years ago and I cannot imagine having to use special chemicals etc., it is just so easy to use. Apart from changing the charcoal filter every year there is no maintenance whatsoever.
If you find the stench unbearable when you empty the cassette,
just pour a small amount of bio washing liquid into the toilet just before emptying and this kills any odour.
I have seen Brian Hilldweller's SOG and it looks a well engineered bit of
Serious question:
Help me out here. have I got this right?
A SOG unit will expell the odorous gases whilst the loo is in use. (Look for an outlet before you park near one?)
In emptying the cassette, some form of deodoriser is still required to kill the smell of the contents, so less, rather than no chemical / whatever is used?
Is that the deal?
The principle sounds great but the practice doesnt sound much different except for no smells in the van, the benefit of these being given to whoever is parked downwind.
Potentially a bit antisocial?
Is it overall a beneficial bit of kit, or just another toy?
Good topic for Sunday lunchtime, eh?

All is explianed.
Didnt realise there were filters etc.
Sounds like a good bit of kit even if only to keep smells from the van.
Thanks folks.

As Brian has already said no chemicals needed -- Just to make things clearer when you open the sluce it turns the fan (via micro switch)on sucking in air from the bowl bit so you should get no smells entering the loo When you had done your jobby etc, you close the sluce and this in turn turns the fan off :thumb: job done IF you are getting smells from the outside bit then the charcoal filter needs changing
If you think the casstte smells bad that is when some posh folk stick in some bio liquid but basicaly you empty the casstte every day or two just as normal and if that gets up your nose there is not much you can do about it

edit forgot to say we only use Charmin loo rolls SOFT ON MY BOTTY
It seems like you spend more on toilet paper than I do on chemicals!!!!

Basically every time you flush air is brought from the inside of the van, into the "potty" bit across what is ever in there and straight outside.
So if your loo is on your caravan door side, every time you "flush" you "waft"
Oh and in hot weather, it makes it a joy to empty as it stinks to high heaven. If the answer to this is to put some chemical into the "potty" bit why bother with pipes and bits of plastic in the first place?
The tank is only open for the time it takes to "flush" so any smells inside the motorhome are more likely to be bottom emanating than tank smells.
I hate them personally too fiddly and seem superfluous in the extreme. There was a big argument on here recently about how social/anti social grey water was, what about a poo smell wafting around your BBQ every time your neighbour empties their bladder or bowels
Just an opinion

Some of the smells from BBQ's are worse than those expelled from SOG's.
