Thetford loo smell (1 Viewer)

[hogan]

Never being one to stay more than 2 nights on a site or aire.I have now found myself having to stay on a site at Titchfield Hampshire until the first of Sept.Its a long story daughter very ill in hosp.We have been here since May 19th and our loo is very smelly.
We use loo blue and never had a problem before.Is it the fact that we are not moving therefore the chemicals are not working properly.
Or just the heat (no problem when in Spain).
I have checked all the seals and they appear all ok.
Any of you full timers got any tips?
I read on this site somewhere that people use washing powder ?

Hi Hogan...

Very sorry to hear of your daughter....Really hope things work out well for her and you...

The recent hot spell doesn't help at all..

We tend to use the Thetford blue/pink solutions although looking at the greener options now on offer.

I'm sure there'll be someone along soon to offer better advice.

You mention Thetford but don't say whether it's a cassette type or Black Tank.

Regards Steve.

I would use some cassette cleaner available in caravan accessory shops, you do need to leave it to soak for a few hours though to get best results.

Having a family of four in our van, this is a problem we had prior to sog fitting.

Prior though, we used to take the casette out each am and give a shake, (gently mind ) just to get its contents moving. With the casette out we always used to give the whole area a spray with an anti bactirial.

worked for us.:thumb:

We had the smell problem also but found that cassette cleaner worked for us, now tend to use after each longer trip.

It had better be sorted soon...Don't want it getting like that Icelandic Volcano and stopping the flights......

A Multi-Forum Niff does not bode well....

Fit a S.O.G. modification and apart from the smell when emptying you will never have a smell again, not even the stink of the chemicals.
