Clesana Centrum makes Swiss toilets accessible for Motorhomes and Caravans
Selling a Swiss toilet is one thing. Knowing how it fits into an existing Motorhome, what power supply is needed, and what a dealer needs to be able to explain, requires practical experience. From Clesana Centrum and Campique B.V., Clesana therefore receives more than just a sales point in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Clesana specialist, installer and distributor
Clesana Centrum is an official sales point, showroom and installation partner for Clesana. The center is part of Campique, distributor of the Swiss brand in the Netherlands and Belgium. Consumers can view, purchase and have the toilets installed by specialists. Motorhome dealers and installers can purchase directly from Campique and gain access to stock, technical knowledge and commercial support through this partnership.
“A dealer needs more than a supplier. Those who purchase directly from Campique can rely on our installation knowledge, stock and sales support. The demand we build up for Clesana will also be directed to our affiliated partners.”
At the Clesana Experience Center in Pijnacker, visitors can see the fixed Clesana C1 and the mobile Clesana X1 in operation. The Clesana installation center is located at the same location, where the C1 toilets are installed daily.
Why Clesana is more than a Motorhome toilet
The Swiss brand's sealing technology originates from the medical sector. After use, the contents are sealed in a DIN-certified medical foil liner using heat and pressure, without flushing water or sanitary chemicals. The sealed bags can be disposed of with residual waste according to local regulations.
Clesana is owned by the Hymer family, a well-known name in the Motorhome world. At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Westfalia presented the Columbus Liner with a Clesana C1 this year. For the owner of an existing Motorhome, another question is more important: can such a toilet also be installed in my Motorhome or Caravan? This is precisely where the daily practice of Clesana Centrum lies.
Have the Clesana C1 installed by the installation center
The Clesana C1 is the fixed installation solution. It can replace the existing cassette toilet in Motorhomes and Caravans, but the toilet space determines how easily that happens. The shape of the current toilet, the available space, and the finish vary per vehicle. This applies to popular Motorhome brands like Hymer, Knaus, Adria, Bürstner, and Dethleffs just as much as to other brands. A brand name alone therefore does not tell whether customization is needed.
Through the free installation check, owners can submit photos of the bathroom and service hatch, along with the details of their Motorhome or Caravan. Clesana Centrum will then assess the possibilities for installation and any need for customization. The installation can then be carried out at their own installation center.
“We install Clesana toilets daily. This allows us to handle different installation situations in Motorhomes and Caravans. With an installation check, we see in advance what is needed for a neat installation.”
Power Management is part of a reliable installation
With the C1, it's not just about the location of the toilet. The power supply must also be properly arranged during sealing. Clesana Centrum therefore advises installation with Clesana Power Management and the Ective buffer battery. This combination absorbs the peak power and prevents the need for thick wiring, supporting stable operation. It is an important part of the installation check and the advice to dealers who want to install the C1 themselves.
Clesana X1 for trucks and emergency supply
While the C1 has a fixed location, the Clesana X1 can be taken to where it is needed. This makes it interesting for compact Van conversions, Motorhomes without a toilet space, and Caravan owners who do not want to have a fixed toilet installed. The X1 uses the same sealing principle and therefore also requires no flushing water or sanitary chemicals. The X1 ProCharge also has an integrated charging system that allows a suitable battery to be charged via mains power.
The need for a mobile toilet does not stop at the campsite. Clesana Centrum supplies the X1 to international transport companies and truck drivers who cannot always rely on hygienic toilet facilities on the road. They also previously supplied mobile toilets to Dutch rescue organizations, such as USAR (Dutch Urban Search and Rescue).
Why the medical foil liners matter
The Swiss sealing mechanism often gets attention, but the multi-layer high-barrier bio foil liner is at least as important. The German Fraunhofer IVV investigated the oxygen and water vapor permeability of these foil liners with exceptional results. The Clesana foil liners are thus the only ones TÜV certified and meet the highest hygiene standards. This makes the toilet the most hygienic toilet system for mobile use.
Purchase directly from Campique
For Motorhome dealers and installers, the rise of Clesana has a flip side. A customer may ask to have a C1 installed in an existing Motorhome or Caravan. To respond adequately, more is needed than an article number in a catalog.
Campique is the direct purchasing address for dealers and installers in the Netherlands and Belgium. Dealers who purchase directly from Campique gain access to the support of this Clesana specialist with product knowledge, technical assistance with installation, and sales support. Campique also builds awareness of Clesana through trade shows, content, and collaborations. This way, the experience from the installation center also reaches affiliated partners who help their own customers. This guidance is linked to Campique's direct purchasing and partner program.
“A dealer not only wants to be able to supply a Clesana, but also to be able to properly advise the customer on the choice and installation. Dealers who purchase directly from Campique can rely on our experience and access to our stock in the Netherlands for this.”
View, buy, or have Clesana installed
Consumers can purchase the Clesana C1 and X1 through the Clesana Centrum webshop. Those who want to see how it works first can make an appointment for the showroom. For a C1 in an existing Motorhome or Caravan, the installation check is the logical first step.
Clesana Centrum, with the C1 and X1, can also be found at various Motorhome trade shows and events such as the Trucker Festival, HISWA, and Expo Eric. For those who prefer to see a toilet in operation before reading about it, this is an opportunity to compare both solutions side-by-side in the showroom in Pijnacker.
