Tourist toilet and tanks in the motorhome and caravan with no secrets
When we start our adventure with caravanning, regardless of whether we are moving in a motorhome or with a caravan, we rather think about pleasant matters and dream holidays. The dark side of our hobby is the service of sanitary devices . In this material, we will tell you what to pay attention to when selecting and operating devices and chemicals.
Clean and dirty water tanks
We transport clean water in dedicated tanks both in caravans and motorhomes. The capacity of the containers themselves can be from 20 to even over 200 liters, and in motorhomes, we can also deal with not only individual tanks, but even systems of connected vessels. Such solutions will help us to properly manage the amount of transported water and help us rationally pack the vehicle for the duration of the journey.
Water transported at high temperatures over long distances is naturally exposed to the development of microorganisms, algae and bacteria. Remember to regularly disinfect the tank after longer trips and at the beginning of the season. The agent that we have proven will be perfect here:

In order to avoid problems with indicating the measuring probes, unpleasant odors and patency of the system, we should absolutely cover the gray water tank . Mineral deposits, sludge and grease settle not only inside it, but also on the walls of the pipes discharging waste from sanitary facilities.
When selecting the appropriate preparation, it is absolutely necessary to ensure that it is not too aggressive and aggressive for plastics and seals. Considering the value of our vehicles, we should not compromise and take half measures - repairs can be expensive in the event of a breakdown. The specifics tested by our editorial office will also work perfectly here. It is safe for installation and effective:

Tourist toilet - everything under control
The toilet service in a motorhome and caravan is not the most pleasant activity, but it is a ritual permanently inscribed in our hobby. The key is regularity and the right chemical background. Regardless of the toilet model, we will have to deal with emptying the cassette of different capacity. Larger cassettes are equipped with convenient transport wheels, for the transport of smaller ones it is worth adapting the trolley. Remember to hold down the deaeration button (on the opposite side from the drain hole) each time you empty the cassette.
Remember to empty and rinse the tank thoroughly after each use, paying close attention to the seals. In the case of high temperatures, the additional ventilation system works perfectly: https://www.akyszne-kawodowe.pl/?s=SOG&product_cat=0&post_type=product
Such a venting system significantly improves the comfort of use and allows you to reduce the amount of chemical treatment agents , while accelerating the decomposition of the cassette content - it works! The characteristic odor also becomes much less bothersome.
Two other aspects of using the toilet are extremely important: the right paper and chemicals - both issues are the so-called "Theme - river". Undoubtedly, however, who once in their life has used paper dedicated to tourist toilets will never want to change it for anything else. Its advantage is the speed of dissolving the residue and the convenience of emptying (no so-called "plugs" clogging the spout and air in the tank).

In terms of the selection of chemicals that facilitate the dissolution of impurities, we have a wide range of agents to choose from. Remember that there are dedicated preparations for the faeces tank (usually blue / green) and for the flushing tank (pink, in caravans equipped with such a container). Our favorite for several years, however, invariably remain comfortable, light and space-saving tablets (popularly known as "tabs"). They can cope perfectly even in extreme conditions and do not require precise dosing (we just add 1-2 items depending on the cassette volume).

Regardless of the measures used, remember that in extreme heat conditions, we should not wait until the last minute to empty the toilet cassettes (read: filling).
