I really struggle with the smell of the Thetford one ( I think) makes me feel nauseous . Am looking to try something different. I find that the flush pink causes black bits too. I tend not to use a flush one now for that reason but I do need to find a tank one,as we’re going to be staying in a site with no toilets in Aug!

Look at my link further up the page.

I don't know whether this does the toilet any good or if it actually works , a mate of mine who has a motorhome only uses fabric softener / conditioner .I've never tried it but he swears by it, anyone else heard about this.

For years we just used a squirt of toilet duck in the top tank. It smells nice and no black bits.
We had black bits from the pink stuff last year, probably because I left a bit in and it was very hot in France.
Its cleaned out now so we may go back to toilet duck.
We had a hired camper on our two Australian holidays, they just put water in the top tanks.Chemical sachets for bottom tank.

Yes, and it works for us in our caravan.

None at all.

Very technically, we fill the top tank up with 2, or 3 glugs.

If available, we alternate between pink and blue to stop us getting bored.

I use non-bio laundry liquid, very much diluted in my top tank. No black bits

We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.

Out of interest John4703 is there any reason why you use non-bio instead of bio?
