Jim-

The waste tank removes cleanly, and carries like a suitcase. It has a fold
out rigid tube that allows for easy, mess-free dumping in an ordinary
commode, anywhere. Simply dump and flush the commode. Swish clean water
around the inside, dump again. Add some of the Thetford enzyme, add a quart
of water, and you are done.

Being a consummate cheapskate, I have tried other toilette "chemicals",
from the blue stuff, to 'deodorizer', to common bleach. Don't waste your
time or money. The low-toxicity Thetford stuff (enzymatic, rather than
formaldehyde) is head-and-shoulders above anything else.

Cheers,

Thank You! Been trying to get my wife to let a Thetford into the van for 10
years....this thread has her leaning. One question: Where are safe places
to, uh,
recycle the tank? Can you dump it in an outhouse in the middle of Nevada
say, or do
you have to wait for a KOA and work out a special dumping deal with them?
