The folks over at ‪@Thefitrv‬ developed a cool new accessory for the cassette toilet to create a little space between you and your sewage. Is it the best thing since tank treatments or a solution in search of a problem? Find out on this week's episode of T@b Talk.

Great video! I have one that I bought b4 our 320 arrived, but I'm contented with dumping the cassette "as-is" without a hose. We have a grey hose of course, and I will bring the Americanizer in case the campground requires it (thanks for that tip!) but otherwise I'd rather just have a "grey slinky" and not a "stinky slinky"! 🙂

[@JennGroverPhotography]

I am with you. So far, my aim has been decent and I don't miss having a hose connected for blackwater.

[@standemerritt6637]

Agree.

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

Me too! That's why I wanted the cassette vs. black tank.

[@karenk1212]

Thanks for being direct and to the point! I like your videos for that reason.

[@mikejeggers]

Hell yes! I've been trying to find this exact thing for my T@B cassette toilet. I'm ordering this right now! Awesome find!

[@michelleegan8681]

Thanks so much! I just made a reservation at an RV Park that requires all sever connections be "screw in type (air-tight)" and I remembered that I had seen this video. Ordering the Americanizer and a spare cap right now (thanks for the cap tip too by the way.) So far I have emptied my cassette as is with no problem and prefer not to deal with a hose used for 'black' waste but will need to follow the park rules so... I am a new T@B 320S owner and your site is so helpful! I subscribed as soon as I ordered my T@B.

[@JennGroverPhotography]

I am so glad this was helpful!

What, they don't have bathrooms? It seems like a stupid rule, not to consider cassette toilets don't need the sewer hookup. I suppose, if you really have to use your hose for black water, you could always flush your grey tank after and clean out the hose. I think I'd opt for a composting toilet. Jon in rural BC, Canada

They should make a funnel attachment piece for the sewer hole. That way you could put the spout in the funnel, dump and prevent splash back.

[@kraz2193]

Thanks for sharing! We bought one from Amazon, and think it will help for the exact reasons you suggested.

[@dawnkuenzli9543]

I think it’s a great idea, I would use one.

[@Itsisawnotiseen]

Bought it. Thanks Jenn Grover!

[@rachelknutzen1435]

Great tool! Thanks for sharing Jenn!

[@wendybauman4074]

Hi Jenn. I’m VERY happy with the cassette toilet, and I’m fine with dumping as is. To use the Americanizer, do you need to bring that grey slinky hose along as well? It looks like it would be tricky to rinse clean. And then storing it… that actually grosses me out more than just dumping the sewage without the hose. Diff folks, diff preferences. :)

[@bjnslc]

I'd guess you wouldn't need a dump hose nearly as long as shown. We've used a much shorter hose for dumping a river groover tank. Yeah, I agree that the hose is more of a negative personally.

[@JennGroverPhotography]

Yeah, I only carry one hose, typically.

[@philjudystabulousadventure8026]

Great video Jenn! Very enlightening for those of us that have traditional black tanks!

[@JennGroverPhotography]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@threedogsandacamper503]

Cool, thanks! I’m about to get my first rv with a cassette toilet (always had a black tank) and I’m not so concerned about me being grossed out as others watching me…

[@lindaschmitt3625]

Great video! Thanks Jenn!!

[@candyalexander2196]

Thanks just ordered one

[@Paul-xz1tg]

Yes !

[@dw3897]

Looks like a shorter sewer hose would work better & be easier to store. Maybe one about four foot long.

[@JennGroverPhotography]

Yes and no. Then I would need a long one for the tines I am hooked up at a FHU site.

[@conniehoyle2669]

Yep great idea , but I would hate to have to use the sewer hose at all. I think dump and run is better . I have a tag , but I want a bathroom .

[@karenr67]

Can't you just stick the empty spout on cassette into the sewer hole without using sewage hose?

[@JennGroverPhotography]

Absolutely! I have done it over and 8ver. But not everyone comfortable with that.

[@donnaeconomos678]

Great video and I certainly WON’t be spending money on that contraption. That’s just crazy complicating something so easy. Cannot imagine why anyone would do all that extra work when it’s so simple to dump the tank. Also note if you remove the sliding cover over the large hole for cleaning, you must slide back on correctly or your cassette will NOT slide back into the trailer. Found that out in the pouring rain!

[@williamirizarry1113]

The Americanizer stays clean but not the bulky hose. Hmm 🤔

[@PippiForever]

Is it possible to insert back the cassette toilet and use it while the Americanizer and hose is still attached to it?

[@JennGroverPhotography]

No, it won't fit back into the compartment that way.

[@brodon4886]

I’m #1, so to speak lol.

[@charliejones5430]

Why add a nasty hose to clean..

[@JennGroverPhotography]

@@charliejones5430 some places require it. Also, the Americanizer stays completely clean.

[@charliejones5430]

Yes after you wash it out. I have been traveling the country for years using a cassette. I have never seen it required. To each his own.

[@rickhall7955]

Doesn't work with Dometic cassette toilet.

[@ggebhard1]

I don’t have a cassette toilet. How big is a cassette tank? It must be a lot smaller than a Tab 400 black tank. Is it 5 gallons? I’m pretty sure My black tank is 12. I can go pretty long without having to empty it. With all the nice hoses, etc, I don’t see or smell anything, so I’m never grossed out. I did add one clear elbow on the hose at the sewer tank, so I can see when it’s cleaned out after draining the gray water tank which is after the black tank. And with the nice end caps to put on the ends of the hoses, when you are done, all is good. I think I’ll stick to my black and gray tanks. How do you clean out a cassette tank at the dump station? And don’t you have to still empty the gray water at the dump station? Or do most people let in drain illegally at their camp sight? I’m just curious.

You should check out my other video on the cassette toilet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYrap6KLjquHes0

[@annahabbott464]

how heavy is the cassette? i am short and I don't think I could lift it over my head like you do.

[@JennGroverPhotography]

You don't have to lift it that high, just higher than than than the hose.

[@annahabbott464]

@@JennGroverPhotography figure I can do that. Thank you.

[@charliejones5430]

Thi😢s seems like one of those great ideas that are useless. The very reason for a cassette it to get rid of a sewer hose. For once the Europeans have it right.

[@CampMymy]

Jenn, you are the best! I don't have to worry about this with my T@G but it sure makes the T@B seem more and more manageable!
