Hi, sure wish we knew about composting toilets, they sound like the cats meow! My husband and I were for boondockers for 30 years until the pandemic hit. We were nomads for 20 of those years then decided for age but mostly health reasons, bought a house, not a home, our rig was our home. We travelled north America, Mexico, Belize and Central America all in our motorhome. We are from Canada mostly as a nomad. Sure like that word, we were snowbirds, winter Texans, and just plain houseless. We're now 82, loved every minute , so keep doing what your doing and we will keep following you. Oh, one of our reasons to be nomadic was our love of birds, and music, we became birders in Texas, and my husband played guitar so followed the Bluegrass festivals.

@abigaylejackson2999 hi just noticed your reply about being able to full time f or so long. We were very frugal . I mean we never ate in restaurants, husband's touchy stomach. We mainly boondocked Arizona was good to stay all winter, just have to move around a bit . We even found places to boondock in florida and texas, just had to listen to othed boondockers. We sold our house and farm, invested it and that was it. It was a wonderful life. Don't regret a thing. You asked how we could afford to buy a house , we invested wisely for that purpose. I hope you can do the same you won't regret it, I know times have changed so much that was 30 years ago for us.

Totally agree on composting toilets. I have been using one for 2 yrs now. No water wasted needlessly. When urine is diluted 10 to one it makes great fertilizer for trees and won't burn plants / no smell. Also using white vinegar mix in spray bottle after rinsing urine bottle freshens the jug. All is better for the planet.!

Get a Trelino toilet and thank me later. Trelinos do not use water. Many cassette toilets use 3-5 gallons of water. A gallon of water weights 8.34 lbs. So you are carring 25 lbs to 41 lbs of water around. With a Trelino just dump #2 in the trash can and empty #1 in the toilet. It is a simpler design.

As I started researching van life vs RVs, I was quickly converted to using a composting toilet, especially once I learned about building my own. The idea of black tanks was just gross, plus being a waste of space. I’m fine tuning mine right now, and using kitty pine pellets meant no odor at all. Win win!

Awesome. Same thoughts here re black tanks. Kitty pine pellets are a more specialized and expensive version of pine pellet bedding for horses, just as a note. The equine version comes in larger quantities, which is great for off grid stationary living, but a possible drawback for mobile use. If you know a few other campers with composting toilets consider buying and splitting a big bag.

We have had a c-head for three years and it works great, so easy to empty. And its just a one gallon jug for the pee, I empty my jug once a day and put a new one in once a month, and emptying the compost is so easy and it stays fluffy, just lift out the bucket. I pour the pee in a wash, rinse it out and when its time to empty the compost into a plastic bag.

Human adult waste isn't much different that human baby waste on diapers that goes into the trash everyday. Dog and cat waste is also bagged and goes into the trash on a regular basis, so I don't understand why people think there would be a problem getting rid of the composting waste. Boondockers would be wise to bury it VERY deep or animals would dig it up and scattered for the detriment to all. Thanks for sharing this new option.

7:20 - YES. I have a Class C, and i have a schedule..on my cabinet door..that tells me when to hit the black tank and to use the gray for flush. For me, it's around day 12-13. So EVERY OTHER WEEK, first day off, black tank then gray tank. Schedules work....but then again, i live alone with a 5 lb dog, so if i'm off a day or so, it's easy to just see the shower not drain and just head outside to pull a lever. SOME of the people with me leave their gray tanks open all the time. NO. I use my gray to flush the hose. That way, the water does two jobs!

I have a poor mans version of a composting toilet: marine toilet seat installed on a hinged box, bucket, separator, urine jug. It doesn't churn, but much easier to throw away the waste. Bucket is lined with a trash bag, started off using coconut coir sprinkled on solids, but ditched that and now just spray Angry Orange on the waste/toilet paper. It's a 3 gal small bucket so I dump the solids every 3 or 4 days.

Hey Robin! Great video. We are attempting to educate boaters to convert to composting toilets and also recently were introduced to the OGO. The biggest resistance is the perception of smell and handling raw sewage. But the eco options, the lower cost compared to traditional vacuum / macerating heads and the hassle of finding dump / pump stations are making composting toilets a great viable option. kudos on your channel.

An interesting compost toilet. Looks much better than ones I have looked at. I have not put TP in the black for a few years. I never have bought the special RV TP - waste of money. I don't use chemicals in my tanks either except I dump a box of baking soda in my black. As for the fan pulling the smell out of the black tank - never had it happen in my decades of RVing.

I'm so glad you posted this video. I've been looking into a compost toilet for my rv but I haven't seen anyone post about the ogo other than their own website. I'll be purchasing an ogo soon. Thank you so much for your video!

My low tech solution is simpler and far cheaper than a compost toilet. This video takes more than 10 minutes to explain compost technology, with a dozen steps to master. Compost toilets can cost $120 to $1,000. By contrast, for 4 years (100,000 miles) I've been using a barrell-type porta-potty in my camper van, with a plastic bag and horse stall type pine pellets. The cost is nominal -about $25 to buy the barrell+lid and about $6 for 40 lbs of pellets that last a long, long time. It's super easy to use and to discard the waste, with no odor. The bagged sawdust can be dropped into any trash container, or scattered outdoors if you are in an appropriate place. The barrel system means no worries about where to dump, no water required, no dirty fluids to handle, no venting, no complicated steps to follow. Two cups of pine pellets last several days, swelling up into sawdust. Occasionally I sprinkle in PooPowder if I have to use the toilet for BM. I can locate the barrel wherever convenient, without committing a specific spot for the toilet. In a prior van I kept a poncho handy to slip over my head for privacy.

Excellent information! I was not aware of the Ogo. In regards to grey water disposal, I usually don't have any issues because I use plant-based biodegradable soap for everything requiring soap.

Good video. I love your down to earth advice. What happens if some pee gets in the compost part? Older people don’t have the same type of control …😬

You ALWAYS release videos at exactly the right time for me! Due to family issues I'm ground bound for the next however many months but as I'm in Iowa I don't even know how long any dump sites will even be available, let alone having to go fight the frigid temps, snow, etc, just to dump my tank. I've been toying with the idea of getting a composting toilet so I can just snuggle in and prepare for a cold Iowa winter, and this is exactly what I need. Thank you!!

I'm so glad to hear you didn't install the exhaust hose - I didn't want it tied down. Big issue with bucket system vs toilet. I usually find another alternative for solids, so the pee jug is crucial - love the idea of an indicator for full jug!

Does a composting qualify your rig as 'fully self-contained'. In other words do places like harvest hosts consider you self contained?

I live in a tiny house on wheels which is permanently parked. I have a Separette. I had a series of problems. The fan failed. Then I got flies. The urine tube clogged. All of these were easy to fix. Diametrous earth eliminated the flies. The urine clog has been tougher. I have used vinegar and hot water. Next I will use a urine biodigester. I think the problem with the urine has a lot to do with how the urine drain was run.
