Thetford Cassette water for toilet

[Dray]

I have a general question for the group.  I have a Fleetwood Timberlake 2006.  It has a Thetford cassette style toilet.  Above the cassette is a place to fill with water for flushing the toilet.  Where does that water go and what is the capacity of that tank?  Thanks

Hi Dray,
I assume yours is much like mine. I have the Fleetwood E3. My Thetford manual has very little information and most of it is in other languages...but I did find where they state the following:

Flush water tank contents - 15,0 L
Waste tank contents - 19,3 L

I assume that is 15.0 and 19.3 Liters respectively.

I found a Liters to Gallons converter here:
http://www.escapeartist.com/Conversions/Gallons_Liters.html

15 liters = 3.958 gallons
19.3 liters = 5.097 gallons

I've only ever used my cassette toilet once...just to check it out. I put liquid in the flush tank but don't remember how much. It did seem to hold more than I expected it would.

As for where it goes, I haven't looked for it but I assume there is a built in holding tank in there somewhere.

I'm sure there are plenty more folks who know better than I but I noticed you weren't getting much for responses. Hope this helps.

The waste water in a cassette toilet would empty into the, ah, cassette.  5 gallons seems to be an awful much for a cassette.  Would hate to have to lug around that much weight when full unless they've worked out a different method.  Wheels maybe.  We don't have one, a cassette that is.  Is it that obvious?

Waygard, if you've used your cassette toilet but have not yet found your waste water, you should probably start looking.  Please do that somewhere other than NYS.

waygard 33 thanks very much for that.  I was thinking the flush tank (if I can call it that) was about 4 gallons.  

dthurk - sorry to confuse you.  We're not talking about the capacity of the cassette itself, but the tank that holds the water that's used for flushing.

No trouble finding the waste water...Thanks. They conveniently put it in the removable 'cassette' which is then 'wheeled' to the dump site as needed. *No trouble locating the cassette as they conveniently located it directly below my rear end.

Dray - I did see on Thetford's web site that they do list the Flush and Waste tank at 4 and 5 gallons respectively. Volumes confirmed.

The fresh water tank of the cassette potty is  right where you put the water into the tank.  My 10 year old cassette has a tube on the left side of the water tank filling opening that shows the water level.  I usually fill the water tank once for every 2 dumps of the black water tank.
