Howdy...!
I have been off the forum for quite some time. We have been traveling! Before I went dark, I had mentioned a powered vent system I was wanting to build for the stinky Thetford toilet. We tried and tried different things but was never able to keep the odor at bay. Either stinky poo or chemical...or both. Now that I have built and installed this simple vent fan...the stink is gone!
I built the system using a 2" 12 volt electronics fan. I moved the fill/status gauge from the right side over to the left side. I then plumbed into that opening and installed the system.
I used the existing blackwater drain/vent line. It was cut and then removed to the outside. Part of it was cut out to allow a Tee fitting to be installed. It was then reinstalled and inserted into the new Tee. The outside area/vent cover was resealed and a new vent cover installed.
Below is a link to my YouTube video that shows the build. The parts list is there in the description. I hope it is beneficial and helpful to those of you that are searching for a solution but don't want to replace the toilet.
