Done a search, but cant find any discussion on this. Anyone got one??? Expensive, but it seems like a great idea.

many many years! since I was a kid
a huge amount of money for a computer fan, a switch and some flexi hose. then all it does is pump the smell of untreated shit outside for everyone else to smell. pretty antisocial on a campsite when your neighbours are having their alfresco breakfast as you take a dump:Sad:

Also got a charcoal filter, so not much smell outside when in use.

Great, then on that recommendation, I will buy one!! If I have to put up with everyone's stinking fish barbecues in the evening, mixed in with tons of disgustingly anti-social garlic, farmer Brown's cows in the next field, (And Farmer Browns s**t spraying habits,) the waft from the outside elsen that someone forgot to flush, then they can put up with my morning dump, (which most of them will never smell, as their still in bed, pi**ed from last nights very loud 2AM party). :thumb:

Ok, I will have a look tomorrow and see if there is a filter there. Presumably, when someone pitched next to you on a site complains about the smell, that is the indicator that you need to change the filter?:ROFLMAO:

Had SOG on last MH, never aware of any smell on outside, but fan only runs when blade is open

My big anti was driving with cassette nearly full on winding roads I ended up with poo streaks down side of MH, not nice at all

After that always emptied before leaving site or put cap on vent pipe before moving when I remembered

Some have vent to roof so no problem for them

Not sure if mine was a home fitted or badly fitted version, but if smelly air can get out what stops liquid following, on most that I have seen the air outlet is on the door to the cassette so dangerously close to contents level

There is an easier solution...

a) Wrap up the pooh in cling film and freeze it, dump it at the next available bin.

b) Drink a spoonful of Brute aftershave, that will nullify the pong and if you have an accident then "Splash it all over".

Installed 2 now, one on each van and wouldn't be without one.

There is a DIY thread on here where someone made their own and nicely done, if you're capable enough then go for it.

If like me time and a neat install is important then you'll be pleased with the £100 or so for a well put together kit of parts and availability or spare parts.

As for the smell, if you change the carbon filter once p/a then it's really no issue.

Our SOG works fine but we also add a capful of bio washing liquid after every empty. This makes the contents sweet smelling when it comes to the next emptying.

Just to clarify it's made up from a BATH OVERFLOW PIPE WHICH NEEDS 2 ENDS -ONE GOES INTO THE VENT VALVE/remove/ IN THE CASSETTE --the other is set into the back of the door -a surface mount light/socket box and front blanking plate that holds the charcoal filter from a cooker hood -31/2 ins comp fan goes in between door and light box -bit of wire and the micro switch that turns fan on when blade is opened

Here is another idea..

provided the cassette compartment is air tight there is no need for a vent pipe..the fan can be mounted on the toilet door and will create negative pressure in the compartment when running .. a modified cap on the cassette allows the air to flow through the toilet when the shutter is opened..

Blog with piccies.. http://www.dreampod.net/boroma/toilet_vent.html

I like it .. simple

SOG fans work very well and I wouldn't have a van without one. However it does make you more disciplined when it comes to emptying the cassette. A certain amount of sloshing can project your waste into the SOG pipework. And stripping down the gubbins to get shite out of the blades is no fun at all.

see my previous post for a DIY SOG system without that problem..

Thanks, I did read the DIY post. Personally I prefer to use SOG as when I come to sell the van it looks better on the 'For Sale' sign than "I plumbed in an anti-stink pipe myself" ::bigsmile:

Why not just disconnect the pipe before moving, and use the bung to stop the chewed bread emigrating???

For goodness sake! That's far too simple:Doh: and doesn't cost any money, that will never do, tut! :RollEyes:
