I am reasonably intelligent and handy but it took me several days to work out the details of installing this! It is actually very simple - holes need to be made in the base under the cassette so an air extraction pipe can be fitted, the fan and filter need to be fitted to the compartment door, and a micro-switch needs to sense when the slide plate is open. I am lucky enough to have a compact Festool drill with adapters that can allow it to be configured in U-shapes, which allowed fairly easy access to drill the required holes, using assorted hole-saws. In other words, with the drill facing into the compartment, it could drill holes outwards. Not sure how a conventional electric drill could be used to achieve this. Although the manual is precise in how big the holes should be, it does not matter that much - just as long as the hose can pass through. The small fan is powered by 12-volts and I guessed correctly that the two wires into the Thetford could be tapped for this. My biggest problem was finding where to fit the micro-switch - the manual confuses sliding with rotating. I did lots of other work between peering at the Thetford mechanism. In the end there is only one place to fit the switch that made sense. I am pleased that the Thetford was unused at the time. The kit is of German quality - ie very good - and my motorhome is free of any chemical smells. But no solids have gone into the Thetford so cannot vouch for its real effectiveness.Read full review
