If you have a separate flush tank that you fill via the  little lockable hatch above the outside cassette hatch then you use a pink fluid mix,we use a  watering can for topping up fresh water and also filling toilet flush tank Smile

Hello and welcome to CT and the great world of motorhoming.

You will need something in the the toilet collection container, this is generally referred to as 'blue'. If it is used in the flush 'pink'.  Flush first you must have as holding tank for flushing water - into which you may choose to add pink to. We don't have a header tank so haven't first hand experience, but others say you get black bits and I believe fabric softner is an alternative. We just flush with wayer as at home and wipe the toilet bowl with parazone or similar toilet wipes. The Toilet cassette you can add chemicals or organic fluids, when we use fluids we prefer organic, which all have an aroma or laundry washing bio pods either breaks down the contents.

A couple of  long threads, but worth reading in my opinion, for newbies are surviving without ehu and bio tabs. The latter solely in the toilet question.  

The search facility on this forum is not good and I'm unable to post links

We pop a small cap/cup of blue fluid into the cassette outflow pipe every time its emptied and bobs your uncle – no problems and very quick.

Clean toilet bowl as suggested in previous post.

Don't complicate life.

What's complicated about adding pink to the header tank & blue to the holding cassette?

Like  many  'vans  now  mine  has  no  "FlushTank"  -- the  water  is  taken  from  the  main  water  tank.  So  like  some  others  I  use  a  common house  or  garden  hand  spray  bottle,  with  my  own  choice  of  "Anti  Pong"  juice  .  Some  folks  use  Fabric  Conditioner  some  Parazone  or  similar  -  Me  I'm  still  using  diluted  "Pink"  until  it  runs  out  then  it  will  be  whatever  pleases  my  sniffing  department.

What's a 'header tank'?

My MH doesn't have one and I don't think the OP's MH has one either.

Water is taken direct from the fresh water tank to the toilet - isn't it?

Not necessarily!!  Depending on the age and make of the MH in question, it may be fitted with either a flush system that draws its water from a dedicated/header tank, to which Pink or other desirable fluids may be added. Or draw from an inboard water supply tank, which also supplies the taps/shower etc, in which case any additive would contaminate the supply when being used for drinking, cooking etc.

The MH is a 2015 Approach 635 (I don't think Bailey ever made a 365) and has only a direct water feed to the toilet from the fresh water.
