Toilet
Thetford Permanent RV Toilet
Thetford Permanent RV Toilet Owner'd Manual in .pdf
Do not throw any paper towels, personal wipes, rags, baby wipes, tampons, hairballs, etc. into the toilet. The macerator is
not capable of handling these types of solids and may jam or be damaged. Use toilet paper intended for RVs or septic
systems. MP107
If in doubt, take a tissue, and leave it in a glass of water. Stir with a spoon a couple of times. If it falls apart into
a gooey slurry after a few minutes it`s safe for your tank. If it stays together, swells up, or clumps into a solid mass,
it`s not safe and should be disposed of in the trash and not down the toilet. MP107
After dumping the waste water tanks, add about ½ gallon of fresh water to the black tank. While you`re doing this, add a
packet of black holding tank chemicals to the tank. MP112
Toilet Chemicals
Do not toss the packet into the toilet, even if it claims to be `dissolvable`. It may not be dissolvable enough for the
macerator. Tear open the packet and pour the contents into the black tank, and dispose of the packet in the trash. The
contents of the powder packets can be irritating to your eyes and nose, so hold the packet low to the bowl and try to pour
directly into the tank. MP112
[Service at Leo's Vacation Center indicated liquid chemicals are probably best since they don't have to dissolve to work.]
[You can also put the black water chemicals in the gray water tank, is you consider the gray water tank needs refreshing.]

“For example, a 360 Siphon vent is an effective $10 [wholesale] part that can eliminate RV odors, which people who actually
use RVs know is a consistent problem. But, many manufacturers won’t install the simple device. Why? It will push them out of
the mythical price point.” RV Travel Newsletter, July 9-15, 2016
