Ok lets talk about waste or in particular waste fluid products used in caravans & motorhomes? Which do you feel give value for money? And which give off the best fragrance in the little room! We tend to use "Fenwicks" however having now seen this "Top & Tail" new product and wondered is anyone using it? and what do they think of it? and is it saving money only having to buy 1 type?

And lets try not to bring in the toilet humor on this thread please! as we have proberly heard all of them anyway!

Look forward to the survey results coming in from all!

Maybe we should get the club to do a "test"and then publish the "results"as part of a best buy article in the magazine,surprised

We also use Thetford. Or Aldi when we can get them, as they are much less expensive and seem to work equally as well.

For years used Thetford blue and pink but over the last few years Thetford pink seems to leave black bits in the rinse water.  I assumed that they changed the recipe ?

Now use Lidl/Aldi liquid bio satchets and their cheapest hair conditioner.

Another vote for Lidl & plain water although the latter is a Hobson's choice as the flush operates from the onboard tank. We do keep diluted pink in a spray bottle to freshen the bowl.

use packets rather than liquid - easy to drop in and no measuring. For the blue stuff for a long time I was a Thetford user then when once I couldn't find any in my local dealer used another brand (Dometic?) and found that worked as well so stayed with it as it was cheaper. I stopped using Thetford pink as it did leave these black bits which went away when we used the local dealer's own brand.

OH bought some Dometic Green sachets in case we were somewhere that did not allow blue, but we have not tried it yet.  It was less expensive than the Elsan too.

Is yours the Green ?

Our previous caravan used water direct from the Aquaroll, so we have never really  been used to using a flush additive.  We now have a flush tank and did buy some pink, but kept forgetting to use it.

The Elsan or Dometic tablets/sachets are so much easier to use and store than the bottles of liquid. They’re expensive but worth it in my view. The smell is fine - just a pine type of aroma. Anyway, there are hatches and windows if you want to vent the washroom.

Good old H2O in the flush tank with no additives does the job well.
