Its a small fan and a venting system for your thetford cassette, not much use to those with American RVs. Basically your waste is broken down naturally without the need for chemicals. The fan comes on when you flush and extracts air out through a carbon filter and thats stops smells coming into the van!

It is German of course and excellent.

I'm so glad someone else asked what a SOG was so I didn't have to show my ignorance!
So on this delicate subject, i have always used bio-degradable cleaning products in my house, can I use these in the motorhome to clean the bathroom generally?
Also, we are just about (tonight!) to buy our first second hand motorhome, and though it is immaculate I did notice that some bits of the white plastic loo fittings were slightly yellow stained, which I'm guessing (hoping) comes from using ordinary household bleach which would make plastic turn yellow after a time. Anyone got any ideas how to turn these plastic bits back to white or would it be a better idea to buy a new loo - how much?

Default Stained plastic

Hi,
If the yellow staining is only on the surface, use a metal polish (e.g. Brasso) to get it off. This works on most plastics.
It's also possible to buy pvc solvent cleaner, but you have to be careful with this: wipe across the surface with a cloth dabbed with the stuff - if the liquid stays on, it can soften the plastic and cause wipe marks to be left behind.
