My SOG has broken..... Forums

Pusser

I had two things go u\s on my holiday. The reading lights that appear to not need wires and travel along two rods stopped working but my Sog died in a most bizarre manner. Chelston are kindly booking me in to sort later on in the year when I am passing that way.

First of all it worked intermittently and then believe it or not I was able to sit on the loo,, shift my weight on to my right buttock and stop and start the fan with my ar5e at leisure. This makes life so simple perhaps Sog could make it a permanent feature. Cool

But shortly after that the inside bit fell off and the fan stayed on permanently so I decided to mend it myself and broke it with my first tweak. Sad

Pusser, sorry to hear that the inside of your ar5e fell off, did it hurt Laughing

Okay okay that joke was probably down the pan also Rolling Eyes

Hope you get your Sog et al fixed soonest,
Regards,

Thats cool. How on earth did you break a Sog? The fan comes on when you open the trap.

It sounds like the little microswitch thingy has been fitted in the wrong position underneath the pan.

If ever it was going to happen, it was always going to be to you Smile

we had exactly the same problem with the Sog on our Pilote (and it was the right buttock). It seemed to be that the weight of the person doing the 'sitting'was enough, when in certain positions, to move the lever that opened the seal ever so slightly and this activated the Sog. Plus side was that it sucked out and nasty smells as they were made (allegedly) minus side was everyone on the site knew where you were and what you were doing. Eventually the motor burned out and had to be replaced
We haven't put a Sog on this van - says it all!

To be graphic - I always crack open the slide to bring on the Sog fan = no smells in the van. Greatest invention for vans!!

SWMBO says that she always uses those ceramic beads to stop a soggy bottom.

I think I am going to regret asking this - but what is a Sog ?????

ceramic beads????????

amander, just do a google search for Sog and you will know as much as the rest of us. (well maybe not as much as those of us who empty them).
Enjoy.
