The Thetford POS is known for flooding the bowl and then the RV (among other things). Buy a Dometic 320 and throw the Thetford away.
There was no #2 deposited into the tank from the time we arrived at the CG. The water that leaked out was clear. Of course doesn't mean there couldn't be a bacteria cell or two in it. If it was full of TP & "stuff", I would have really freaked out.
I've kinda wondered about adding a solenoid valve on a time-delay relay and switch that would give water for a few minutes when needed for flushing.

Have seen the water alarms at our local plumbing wholesaler and have often thought about getting one. Too late now but will probably get one now.
