Trials of motorhome waste cassette cleaner begin (1 Viewer)

Hate the idea of this. I don't want Thetfords dreadful stinky blue in my toilet and especially not with 2L of water added, I thought the idea was to empty it, not fill it up. Don't want to pay 3.50 for something that's always been free either.

As an avid user of the SOG system I had the pleasure recently of overnighting at the SOG factory stelplatz at Lof on the Mosel in Germany where I picked up details of their SOG Dumping System.

This system is much simpler than the Thetford machine ... it should be much cheaper to install and use... Any make of cassette can be used and no chemicals or water automatically shoved into your cassette!

Ok, so it doesn't automatically flush out your cassette but that is not too difficult.

For £3.50 a go, I will happily visit any campsite and empty their toilet cassettes, I even have my own rubber gloves and mask......

I think every camp site should have a Baldrick to empty the bog for you maybe even under cut Thetford

Cairnsmill Caravan site in St Andrews has one of these machines installed. Don't know if it is a Thetford machine and have not tried it yet, but as this is a private park I can't see them putting it in if they don't see a market for it.

Ideal Job creation for teenager locked in a box with a hose and a brush paid £15 a week and fed through the slot on the side with old out of date sandwiches from the shop. As personally recommended by Ian Duncan Smith. They can go to the toilet in there as no one would notice the smell, just drink from the hose, let out on Sunday am. for a walk.

Never understood the 'rinsing out' palaver. Considering what's going to contact the inside of the cassette once it's back in its home rinsing seems to me to be a waste of time. After a trip I give the outside a good clean in case of splashes when emptying but on site I simply empty it.

Exactly what I do. I use bio wash liquid and reckon one reason it doesn't smell is because there is a culture of bugs built up in the cassette which break everything down, rinsing would remove a lot of this.
Vigorous rinsing can damage the float mechanism too.

With a 35 gallon black tank, I never empty it till we get home, unless the trip is for more than six weeks or so.

Sounds like a cunning plan!
