Hi Tonyg and welcome to the 'madhouse'..in the nicest way though of course!!
We have a 'sog' system fitted to our toilet cassette, so we use no chemicals at all. This means we can dump in any toilet that is convenient, beause nothing more is going in, than would do if you were sat on it know what I mean? We also carry a spare cassette just in case !!
The grey water, I just drain daily into a container, and pour it down the nearest drain (be sure it is a proper drainthough, and not a soak away!)
Kind regards,

Jackie

Sog

About SOG-system:

In fact this is merely a fan extracting the 'odeurs' from the cassette - no sh*t (with a little plumbing, Gardena couplings and a computer-fan you can DIY- I didn't: for plumbing I have 2 left hands ).
An other way to avoid chemicals is using a draught of the cheapest shampoo or washing-up liquid instead (this really works and you have a choice of smells too - I had this from a dutchman; you know how sparing they generally are )).
In Sweden there are some who use a handfull of turf. (I never tried that -however some flowers in the cassette ...)

Flower power

Just watch how those cheap shampoos converts the dunge of your casette into flower-power .... and you never smear it on your hair again
(the shampoo I mean )
