Thetford has been named Best Toilet Systems Supplier in the 2026 edition of the Beste Marken by Promobil award, based on consumer preferences.
These recurring accolades demonstrate just how much Thetford focuses on innovation and continuous improvement.
Among the most recent innovations, separation toilet solutions stand out
Thetford’s approach still rests on two key elements today: products built to last and a service network spanning the whole of Europe.
Readers of two of the most widely read German motorhome magazines, Promobil and CARAVANING, have once again named Thetford the number one toilet systems provider for recreational vehicles as part of the Beste Marken (Best Brands) 2026 award.
Receiving this award has become something of a tradition for Thetford, yet each time feels like the first: this repeated success only strengthens Thetford’s commitment to improving, innovating and responding to the ever-changing needs of motorhome owners and industry partners.
Promobil Beste Marken Award
The Promobil Beste Marken Award is considered one of the most important awards in the European motorhome industry. What sets it apart is its entirely consumer-driven nature: readers of Promobil and its sister publication CARAVANING vote for their favourite brands across a range of categories within Europe’s largest motorhome market. The awards are presented every year at CMT, the world’s largest tourism and leisure trade fair, held in Stuttgart.
Norbert van Noesel, Marketing Manager at Thetford: "As an industry, we can develop whatever we like, but ultimately success depends on how end users judge it. That makes an award based on consumer opinion all the more meaningful".
In the 2026 edition, Thetford took first place in the Best Toilet Systems category and second place in the Best Refrigerators category.
Winning comes with responsibility
Thetford never takes winning the Beste Marken award for granted.
Van Noesel: "Even as we continue to win prestigious awards such as the Beste Marken Award, we must hold on to the humility that defines our brand. Indeed, these achievements only strengthen our sense of responsibility towards the entire industry and towards those who buy our products".
By actively engaging industry partners and continually acting on customer feedback, Thetford keeps developing and expanding its product portfolio. The goal is not to win awards, but to help motorhome owners enjoy reliable, worry-free travel experiences.
Innovations that support the travelling community and the environment
With over 50 years of experience as the market leader in motorhome sanitation, Thetford operates in a constantly evolving sector. Travellers are increasingly seeking solutions that adapt to different travel styles while reducing environmental impact.
In response to emerging market demand, last year Thetford introduced the separation toilet and separation kit, based on the well-established C220 and C260 cassette toilets. By strictly separating liquids and solids into two containers, the system removes the need for water and additives. This gives motorhome owners greater flexibility and provides a more sustainable sanitation option.
Whether travellers choose the trusted cassette toilet or the Porta Potti, or opt for an innovative solution such as the separation toilet, Thetford offers a range of systems designed to meet a variety of travel needs and preferences.
Longevity and an extensive service network
Innovation is only one part of Thetford’s commitment to the industry. Product longevity and reliable service play an equally important role. Product quality remains a core objective, but the brand is also committed to ensuring maximum durability over time.
Accessories such as the Fresh-up Set, the Twusch and a wide range of spare parts have been specifically developed to extend the lifespan of cassette toilets, ensuring the products can be used with satisfaction for many years to come.
This focus on durability is backed by an extensive European network of dealers and service centres, guaranteeing professional support to motorhome owners wherever they choose to travel.
Looking to the future
Being regularly honoured at the Beste Marken Awards by Promobil confirms that Thetford is on the right path, but it is never treated as a final destination. By consistently investing in innovation, quality and long-term support, Thetford reaffirms its commitment as a trusted partner in the motorhome world, always looking ahead to the future.
