The Caravan Smells When You Open the Door

You unlock the caravan after a few weeks in storage, open the door and are hit by a stale, sewage-like smell. It’s a common experience, and most people blame the toilet. But the toilet is often only part of the story.

Where caravan smells really come from

A caravan has several places where wastewater sits and goes stale:

The shower drain and trap, full of soap, hair and body oils.
Kitchen and bathroom sinks, with food scraps and grease in the pipes.
The grey water tank, where all of it collects.
The cassette or holding tank, and the toilet seals and valves.

In a closed van, especially in warm weather, odour from any of these can fill the whole space.

Why masking it doesn't work

Air fresheners, cassette chemicals and bleach down the drains cover up the smell for a while. But they don’t remove the sludge in the pipes and tanks, so the odour returns as soon as they wear off.

Treat the whole system

ProPower treats the cause, across your whole wastewater system. Its probiotic microbes digest the waste and sludge that cause odour, then keep working while the van is in storage:

Grey water: pour ProPower Grey Water Tank Treatment down the shower and sinks.
Toilet: use ProPower Cassette & Porta Loo treatment in the cassette instead of chemicals.
Before storage: dose all drains and the toilet, so the microbes keep working while you’re away.

Come home to a fresh van

With the whole system treated, you’ll open the door to a van that smells like a holiday, not a drain. And because ProPower is 100% natural, it’s intended for wastewater use; follow local dump-point rules.
