The BEST chemical for your Thetford Cassette Toilet?

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

What do you reckon? What's your favourite toilet chemical? 😉

[@berntd]

Which one does not smell? I have tried a few chemicals but they all seem to have that same kind of of perfumey chemical formaldehyde type smell that seem present with all these. I was a just a kid some 45 years back and our camping toilets smelled exactly like they do today. Of that weird artificial sweetish smell. I cannot stand it after some time.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Yeh that smell is an odd one huh! Those blue chemicals all seem to smell the same. Avoid the lavender or tropical scented ones… they are pretty potent!

[@waynehobbs5175]

Great report. Thetfort says to add the product into the cassette but NOT through the bowl FYI. We use the generic napisan and add 3 drops of water based peppermint or eucalyptus oil into the cassette at the same time works out about 35c Australian per dose. Ironically wecfind the generic Woolworth brand soaker works better than the brand name! Thanks for the great report keep up the informative info! P.s. please don't think I was criticising you pouring the product via the toilet. Its just that I readvin the thetford manual that some products added that way can cause issues with the open/shut valve. Cheers

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks 😊 I should have read the bottle haha but that does make sense thanks! Peppermint mint oil sounds good! I’ll give that combo a try 👍 thanks for stopping by and watching

[@waynehobbs5175]

@@AdventuresWithRosy thanks for reading and your response. We really enjoy your channel. It was only that we bought the new caravan 3 weeks ago that I bothered to fully read the thetford instructions and found out about pouring straight into the cassette via the outpour nozzle! I Before that, in last caravan, I poured the cleaner through the bowl too.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Oh nice new caravan just in time for summer! Thanks for watching the videos 😊 appreciate it!

[@Holodomor4.0]

Hi, What is the name of the Woolworths chemical you referenced? Is it just Woolworths brand toilet cleaner? And also do you have a link for them including the water based peppermint and eucalyptus?

[@waynehobbs5175]

@@Holodomor4.0 hi, its Woolies home brand washing pre soaker. Like napisan but better. Used normally to presoak your clothes. The peppermint or eucalyptus oil I think we bought there too but its important that its soluble. We have since changed vans and now use the SOG system with no chemicals, even better.

[@garth2876]

As occasional caravan users the Thetford lavender product is our go to, and seems to be quite effective and not too expensive. We also use a product that the NZMCA sells called dunny stuff, which I think is pretty much just sodium percarbonate based - it definitely doesn't mask the odour or colour as well. I think it's better in the larger black tank systems

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks Garth! I might have to give that lavender one a go! Loads of people have been raving about it 😊

[@gordonb2011]

We tried the Walex Porta Pak Tropical Express however we too found the smell overpowering and not that pleasant. We now use the Lavender scent Walex Porta Pak and they're wonderful! Because of the nice lavender scent we can comfortably empty the cassette into a normal flush toilet or dump station.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Ah thanks I’ll give the lavender ones a try! Agreed about the tropical ones, we found them over powering too!

[@annie-rosedredge8002]

Nice to see some Eco-friendly products in there!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Just for you 😊👍

[@dankirkwood2239]

Great learning video for a new casett toilet user.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks 😊

[@thetfordaus]

Hi Rosy, just wondering when you will be doing your next review? We would love to see what you think of all of our toilet additives in really convenient concentrated bottles now.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Awesome news team! Just saw your email, will reply now 👌

[@davidwallace6250]

Loving the reviews. You are really good at doing them.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks David appreciate the feedback 😊 i like doing them so that’s good haha

[@Jorge-or3fr]

Hi My friend! You got mi like. Will they percarbonate break down they stool and urine in they tank? Best regards

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Hi Jorge, it seemed to do a good job. I have met loads of people who swear by just using the percarbonate rather than any fancy chemicals 👍

[@aidanvanweert993]

Great vid :) hey was thinking,when you guy go full time are you taking your dog/s

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Aidan van Weert hmm not sure at this stage, hopefully we can convince my sister to look after them haha. Thinking it might be a bit restrictive with them? 🤔

[@shupingyin8082]

Thank you for sharing

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@hereusethis]

What kind of "dosage" did you use with the sodium (laundry soaker) type products?

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

I just sprinkle some in haha, maybe 1/3 of a cup? Seems to work quite well and doesn’t smell as strong as some of the other chemicals 👍

[@hereusethis]

@@AdventuresWithRosy Thank you!

[@dalegoodman9779]

Happy Camper is awesome.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Oh I’ve not heard of that one, will have to give it a go 😊

[@mareegodleman1347]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks Maree 😊

[@plantpoweredtrippin3099]

Very helpful thank you!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

You are most welcome! Thanks for watching 👌

[@birdielein9636]

I'm using the walex in my 565e and I find they don't break down solids very fast... maybe it's my product... but I am curious to see what people think.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Hmm that is a tad frustrating, how much water do you put in there with the Walex at the start?

[@birdielein9636]

@@AdventuresWithRosy I was doing about 1-2 liters but this time I went with about 3.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

That should be sufficient! I have had more luck with the blue liquids recently

[@birdielein9636]

@@AdventuresWithRosy I will give them a try. I have been using two pods. I read somewhere else that you should with the enzymes, so it's made my cost per fill pricy. I'm up in Canada and our dollars are about the same as yours.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Ah ok, yeh I would try something else. 2 of those Walex capsules a time gets expensive!

[@Fromatic]

Does 1 dose = 1 flush, or do you use 1 dose everytime you empty and re-prepare the cassette for multiple uses?

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

One does per cassette 😊 we use our cassette until it’s full, usually lasts 2-3 days

[@Fromatic]

@@AdventuresWithRosy thanks, in that case even the capsules don't sound too bad cost wise, as if I get one of these I imagine a cassette would last me a whole solo trip

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Haha yeh you are probably right! The don’t last too long for the 5 of us 😅

[@studyboynz]

ok I thought you had a black tank? or do I not understand what a cassette toilet is

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Sorry I should have explained that, a cassette toilet is basically a mini black tank... our caravan doesn’t have a black tank (uncommon in Australia\English made caravans) loads of American made RVs have them though 👍

[@LostNative]

#ForkintheroadBex I'll be trying these out in the van 👍

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Awesome 👍

[@jaykellerthl]

Bronson, I see you are pouring liquids without measuring. Heresy! Check the cap on your thetford cassettes cap, it's got measuring guides! Do it before you put your cassette back in and you'll never spill in the toilet bowl either!!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

A few people said that I should do that so I’ve been pouring it in the top of the cassette after I empty it now 😊 wait you are saying the cassette cap is also a measuring cup!!! How have I never noticed that haha, thanks!

[@jaykellerthl]

@@AdventuresWithRosy Yup, it works best with Thetford products (Surprise surpise) but still a useful tool that not enough people are aware of. 🙂

[@goldielocks2621]

Hold onto your cash USED MOTORHOMES going down on price 2024

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Oh really? Is that because people are going back to international travel etc?

[@goldielocks2621]

I have been studying sales of Motorhomes for the past 28 months, sales in the second half of this year slowed dramatically, certain popular models took on average four to six months to move. Dealers have greedily inflated prices over the past 12 to 18 months and that is now causing sales to slow on the secondhand market also the shortage of new Fiat Chassis helped inflate prices but now we have New models finally hitting the shop floor that will only see the seasoned buying Motorhomer trading . I now see more and more Vans offered for sale due to lack of use, the continued rise in fuel costs and realisation of how little use people are making from their Motorhomes is now beginning to bite. It has been unique to see Vans making more money post sales in the industry and that is the reason People are happy to let their Van sit for now. I believe the flood gates will open pre season of 2024 and that is why I'm saying to the buyer to wait.@@AdventuresWithRosy
