Vent easily removes toilet odors from RV living space

Gary Bunzer, the RV Doctor, demonstrates how the recently developed 360 Siphon Vent effectively removes odors inside an RV by exhausting them out the roof vent before they have a chance to invade the RV living space. Holding tanks that come standard with most RVs are simply designed to keep rain, debris and rodents from entering the RV, not prevent odors. Most RVers have at one time or another dealt with obnoxious odors from their holding tanks. This product is designed to eliminate them, and based on RV Travel’s experience, does just that. The product is available at most RV accessories stores and Amazon.com.

Dometic to debut new RV toilets

Dometic announced on Oct. 15 that it will showcase two new toilets at the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association’s (RVIA) National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., Dec. 1-3.

“This year at RVIA, we are excited to showcase the MasterFlush 7640, the RV industry’s first-ever pedal-operating macerating toilet,” said said Dave Schutz, Vice President, RV OEM Sales and Marketing, Dometic Americas RV Division. “We’re also introducing the CT 4000, a toilet with a convenient cassette-style holding tank for easy removal and dumping.”

The MasterFlush 7640 is the first pedal-operated macerating toilet in the RV industry. It is designed for RV owners who want to upgrade to a powerful, comfortable macerator toilet without paying the premium price of an all-ceramic toilet. Swirl-jet flush provides a powerful, more thorough rinsing of entire bowl. Toilet discharge is isolated from the holding tank, eliminating the possibility of holding tank odors entering the bathroom. The new MF7640 toilet also can replace existing gravity-discharge RV toilets because it fits in the same footprint and on the same flange as many standard RV toilet models.

CT 4000 series toilets feature a full-size, lightweight plastic toilet with ceramic bowl liner for just-like-home cleanliness and comfort. The entire toilet seat rotates 90 degrees in each direction to accommodate a wider range of installation options. The Dometic toilet incorporates a convenient “cassette” holding tank that, when it is ready to discharge, slides out from below the toilet via a service hatch on the outside of the RV. Using a pull out handle and built-in wheelsthe 5-gallon tank can be rolled to the nearest dump-out facility.
