We use Happy Camper and it is the best one we have used. I think most people that use it will highly recommend it.

I have been using it for awhile now. I believe it works. No smell at all. Works good as a tank cleaner. Just follow directions for tank cleaner. Just did the galley tank and got a big blob to come out.

It is a powder, so if you spill, no worries of staining something.

Very easy to use, I put two scoops in the toilet, swish it around and flush.

We tried it but like Snow Fresh better. It's also a powder and we use 1/4 cup per dump.

We have always used Odorlos in the trailer. Might have to try some Happy Camper.

If properly vented, the toilet will have no odor...that you can smell.

I am a happy camper but do not use any chemicals. No smell no problems. Just dump about every week.

We also use just water, no harsh chemicals. It seems to work like a miniature septic tank. No foul odors when we flush

What size do those that use Happy Camper usually buy? I see 64 oz. for $39.99 on Amazon and was wondering if that would last for say 3 months or more.

Been using Happy Camper for two years and highly recommend it. The 64 oz tub usually lasts about 4-5 months, but varies greatly on how you travel.

I like what I see with "Happy Camper". I am going to give it a try. I especially like the ides of using some in the grey water tanks. Be interesting to see what exits through my "superduber" clear elbow.

Happy Camper was recommended to us by our local RV store manager. After years of using the liquid stuff we decided to try Happy Camper on our new Montana and we will never go back to the liquid. No matter what the temperature is, there is never any smell.

We have used it and it works. Other Enzyme based products work just as well. Lots of water and frequents dumping's also work just as well.

I buy the 64oz for economy and keep it in the basement. Originally I bought a small bottle to try and I refill that from the basement stash, keeping the small bottle under the bathroom sink.
