How does the fan extract the smells away, there is a filter that makes it smell better, but then does get blown outside? As I cannot see a hole from the filter to the outside. It's a 2013 700 apache.

Regardless of how/if it worked I would insist it was reinstated at their cost......it wasnt up to them to remove/disconnect it without your consent.took my comanche to autotrail in grimsby for its annual habitation , 2012 plate sowent away in it the following weekend and found that the fan wasn't working . After emptying the cassette i found that someone had taken the filter out and disconnected the wires to the little fan.wasnt very happy with what i found.i only live down the road at cleethorpes so paid them a visit on the monday, got a crap explanation from them saying it was took out because the smells don't go anywhere . my toilet system sits on top of the wheelarch,there is no vent pipe coming out from the fiter housing, it would need a vent pipe fitting simular to a sog unit for it to work properly. i didnt say to much about the build quality as the vehicle had to go back for damp issues .

So a crap system then.
So do Sogs blow it to the outside of the van.@laurieash We had a 2013 Tracker and the vent looks like t goes through the floor but it does not vent anywhere I took mine apart as it was noisy only to find the fan just blows straight onto the floor of the cassette compartment.I decided to fit a SOG as it only entailed drilling the door to the cassette compartment it worked a treat you just need to disconnect the fan at the back of the toilet flush switch.

This link shows how the Thetford ventilator works and how it is fitted. A SOG is similar AFAIK but needs more installing. Both provide ventilation to the cassette. Keeps smells out or motorhome while you have the flap open and, if you switch on before you open the flap, prevents the dreaded blow back on opening. It is also said to allow better breakdown of black waste by allowing oxygen in. Not sure about that latter bit given the short period they run.Never heard of a Thetford Toilet Fan and please tell what is a SOG
Just google SOG VENTILATOR.Never heard of a Thetford Toilet Fan and please tell what is a SOG

No nor did we so it just rattles on the floor and wafts it around under the cassette that's why I did the SOG easier to drill door than floor and risk damp problems.So I should have a hole under the fan and filter so it can blow it out side.
If so I have no hole.
If so it is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.So I should have a hole under the fan and filter so it can blow it out side.

Can't see any damp problems occurring. Certainly no problems in either of my vans. Both had a sealed tube running through, in the case of the new one it runs through the double floor.No nor did we so it just rattles on the floor and wafts it around under the cassette that's why I did the SOG easier to drill door than floor and risk damp problems.

That's just it we had a brand new Tracker 2013 no hole in floor so drilled door just a personal choice and I think SOG are a better unit than the poorly fitted unit and I forgot to mention when asking Auto trail they told me it didn't have to vent(what a load of twaddle) as the charcoal filter took out any smellIf so it is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

That's why we've now got a HymerI think Autotrail needs to be awarded the bullshitters award if there is one.
