My 2¢: We live in the UK and we have a much earlier version of this Thetford toilet on our 2003 folding camper. We've never had any problems with it, but we stopped paying for the proprietary liquids long ago. Instead, when we're preparing for a trip and following every drain-and-rinse, we chuck a scented liquid laundry detergent capsule (aka: pod) into the cassette along with a couple cups of water. I don't know how things are in the USA, but in the UK there's a choice between laundry detergents which have enzymes and those which do not; we always use the with-enzyme detergent for this purpose. We've found that the trailer jouncing around on even paved roads in good condition for a few hours results in so much agitation of the contents of the cassette that TP and any solids turn into a sort of disgusting-looking but not too-bad smelling soup. The fact that the only chemical we use in the cassette is a normal, domestic product means that we feel no compunction about putting the contents of the cassette down any sort of toilet, so we don't need to find a dedicated black-water dump facility. Also, laundry detergent is obviously available in any supermarket, so we don't need to worry about maintaining a supply of the branded product. Another minor benefit is that the detergent capsules live in a sealed plastic box, so there's never any risk of smelly chemicals spilling.
