C200 door mount

C200 door mount

Had to look it up myself, they have gone up a bit used to be about £140.

Personally I wouldn't use the door one.
I had the door one, the underfloor & and on my current van I converted the under floor one to a roof vent.

The roof vent is the best & no filters required. The underfloor is quite good, although filters are £25 each I refilled them myself for about £3.

What's a SOG .?
Guessing it's something to do with extraction

 

[Steve Travelvan]

A SOG is a German van based system where a fan is activated when the toilet flap is opened. This draws air from the toilet bowl through a carbon filter to remove odours and vents it to the exterior. The filter can be mounted on the toilet cassette door, under the floor or in the roof. They are effective and in my opinion an extra worth having. The carbon filter is not totally effective which doesn't matter that much as it is your close neighbours that suffer, your van is smell free.

It’s not just SOG prices that have gone up , I replaced the one in my door SOG and this fan was £90 in July 2022 which was about £15 cheaper than original

I had a Plan to fit one to the new MH, then realised the cassette door was the same side as and under the awning ......

 

[Pausim]

I will miss my SOG. My Carthago came with a roof vented SOG which doesn’t need a filter, no smell problems for me or the neighbours. Unfortunately it is not an option on the Malibu Van because the toilet swings out of the way under the bed to make more room in the shower. When I get it later this year I will look for a solution.

Motorhome and caravan

 

[Flairy]

Best of both worlds.

 

[eddie]

I don’t have a SOG

My black tank has a “soil pipe” which vents to the roof however

I thought all non SOG cassettes vented underneath so all SOG does is increase f@rt power to outside for you. A couple of sheets of loo paper over the open flap keeps the pongs away for free and also keeps the bowl clean - is this too much information

 

[Lenny HB]

Not sure how I would vent through the roof.

Depends on van layout. My loo is next the the wardrobe took the pipe in the double floor to the wardrobe then up through the cable trunking you only see the top few inches where it connects to the roof vent.

That is not going to work on the pongs you are making whereas a SOG does.

I don't mind the smell of roses that I create

What's wrong with a 12v Computer fan?

I have a motorhome friend who used a 12v Computer Fan to replace his original fan which failed as a result of his son thinking he had to pump until the red light went out!!!!! This pushed the contents of the cassette into the SOG fan! This replacement fan has worked for around 12 months without problem, but when I was at the SOG factory in Germany about 18 months ago having a SOG unit fitted to my (then) new MoHo, they claimed that the fans they use are of a water/weather-proofed construction for longer life.

The cassettes do vent from below but the SOG sucks the smells out in another direction. With a SOG fitted you can disable the under vent but that is another story.

Edit. The vent below the cassette is often only into the enclosure not to outside.

They only vent from below if the Thetford SOG equivalent is fitted. I changed my SOG from the normal pipe vent to make use of the Thetford vent.

Lenny's Modding the new Gin Palace

Did you mount the pump directly to the ply board or did you put it on any vibration damping? Did you put any damping under the ply? Now managed to get some soundproofing rubber under the ply, it has made it slightly quieter but not sure it was worth the hours groveling on the floor to do it.

On my cassette the vent is opened when the cassette is inserted in the enclosure but it only vents into the enclosure. It is to stop the sealed cassette from exploding if you drive up a mountain. I have disabled it to prevent smells but only because the SOG provides a better release to outside.

 

[scotzsue]

The roof vent is the best & no filters required.

Have to disagree. You've probably never slept next to one with your bedroom window open woke up thinking someone was trying to choke me with
