Coleman brand.  Bought it at a sporting goods store, I think.  Surprising
how well it worked, especially since it was warmer than they recommend
(85'?), and a couple days longer, too.

I use the Thetford bottled stuff that is commonly available at every
Walmart and camper store. But as far as the additive that slickens the
bowl, does it not sicken the fish? I would use the least amount of
additives that I could. Bowl flushing is not a problem with these
toilets.

tomorrow morning. My question relates to which chemicals people are using in
theirs? Everything I've read about seems to be for big 40 gallon holding
tanks on RV's. What is for use in these little ones? Mine is a VIP 12 Litre
model which looks exactly like a Visa 12 Litre. I also saw a Youtube video
from Oz that shows a chemical you put in the top freshwater container that
scents the water, but more importantly, puts a slick coating on the plastic
of the bowl to increase the ease of cleaning the bowl when flushing. Would
like to hear any comments on this before I use mine for the first time.
