Every Toilet for Vanlife - Reviewed!

[@mburry]

“If I’m baking brownies I’m also making lemonade” my favorite quote of 2024.

[@TomNeatPlace]

Agree 👍

[@SaintTrinianz]

I occasionally have to lacerate my brownie (grocery) bag to drain off some unintentional lemonade before I send the brownies to a landfill. Easypeasy. My concern is for how these elements interact with the environment. My ideal situation is to add that golden-nitro-compost -accelerant to an actual compost bin (leaves, grass clippings, weeds, etc) where it can benefit the earth, plants, and microbes. The solid stuff can be incinerated in a vented ammo can before being added to soil. I realize that's more effort than most people are going to make unless you're truly offgrid for life...

[@novaklaser]

Thank you, I am looking at getting a Truck camper without a bathroom, so this was very helpful. I must say I never thought I would watch an hour-long video on toilets, but here we are.

[@lynnw7155]

We've had a cassette toilet for 2 camping seasons. Even clean and bleached, it still smells. The seal keeps most of the smell in, but opening it, even when it's clean, really smells. Otherwise, we like it; it's sturdy and 'sits' like a normal toilet.

[@TheBircat]

Watched to the end. I'd rank this in my top 10 best information videos I've seen on the Tube.

[@ZacharyDuvallT]

Your potty vocabulary is top-notch. Love all the euphemisms haha. Made me laugh out loud while learning about these essential van life companions. Also, would you guys ever do a video about van security? I'd be interested in learning what you have learned over the years

[@BlackHeartScyther]

I agree, he is quite the potty mouth

[@yostmandlebrot2]

We've had the Laveo DryFlush for a few months now, and it's been a game changer for us. It's a good height, feels like a real toilet, and haven't had a problem disposing of the bag/cassette thing. In fact, you can put it in a regular garbage can. It's been a lot less of a hassle than anything else we've tried.

[@michaelscarfi3196]

Please don’t tell me it doesn’t stink beyond belief during use. The afterwords I agree must be great.

[@DaphneLowe]

This is absolutely the most thorough discussion of toilet options on YT. But you left out arguably the best dry flush toilet- the Wrappon Trekker. It has Laveo's "flush it and forget" approach, but with more convenience and portability. It's like a one used bucket toilet that ties up the contents for you.

[@keithprice3369]

$1.50 / flush for that one. (sigh)

[@DaphneLowe]

@@keithprice3369 Yeah, its not cheap. But you only have to flush when it's full (or stinky)!

[@carolbator2443]

I got a medium size Trelino with a wooden lid held in place by magnets instead of the soft close plastic lid. The lid does not bounce off when I am driving. The lid is completely removed when the toilet is used. The wooden lid allows the Trelino to also be a small table or foot stool. I got this when I was still tent camping, but planning to buy a van for a DIY camper. The Trelino fit under my camping cot and is currently kept under the bed I built for my van. The medium size Trelino is about the size of a milk crate or bankers box and it is a bit taller than the small size without being too tall to tuck under the bed. It is comfortable to use. As a female, I have had no issues with where to sit for proper separation of pee and poo. I did make a small modification to the pee jug to help make it easier to completely empty. I cut a 5/8 inch hole in one of the upper corners of the jug and used a rubber stopper to seal it. When I empty it, I remove the stopper and pour through the hole like a tea kettle. because the hole is in a corner, it is easier to completely empty the jug than it was when I removed the lid from the center of the top of the box-shaped jug. The stopper was actually sold as an accessory by Trelino, probably to plug the urine hole in the separator, but I never used it for that. I empty my Trelino after one or two days of use. It is mostly used after dark or before sunrise. It is never very full when I empty it, but I empty it frequently so it won't become full.

[@ocelliotts]

LOL "Here's my air fryer, please don't crap in it" ... still laughing at this statement. Great informative video.

[@LuisGarcia-kl9wl]

Great coverage, - however on the Thetford 565 with the electronic flush as an owner of this, I wanted to give you the honest, - unabridged pros and cons. The Pros, are that it is a tall and comfortable to sit on and we got the optional floor mount that they sell for it to keep it attached to the floor of our 28 foot Winebago that we made completely camp-ground free. The toilet paper holder on the side was pretty useless and came apart after about three months use but not a deal breaker. The cons. When the waster tank is full it is NOT like he shows in the video, - simply carry it out by the handle "Oh look how easy".. No.. The bottom tank holds nearly 5 gallons of waste and though I tell myself I'm emptying it every three days, I nearly never do and wind up lifting the very heavy tank to dispose of. It has handles in the front and back and you will use them both to take this to where your dumping. I have emptied this out at welcome center rest stops once, but usually Pilot or Flying J have dump stations and water. When we dock at my parents house in the midwest when it's full I dump this in the house toilet and it's "doable". By far in our quest to be campground free and off-grid the pros far outweigh the cons for this. As a backup we got the Boxio composting toilet and I used it once and it worked awesome.

[@Oceangirl326]

I have the Trelino that you showed. It was slightly different but most cosmetic. It cost $525 and the small ones were about $325. 3 different heights available. I really like mine. For me, it is easier to use because it is taller. Very convenient. Even if the bottle would overflow, the basic unit would hold it in and could easily be rinsed out saving a disaster in your van. Totally worth every penny.

[@calw8217]

I never knew I could be so entertained by a toilet video. Very well done sir 🎉😂. I’m doing a Cargo trailer conversion and I’m considering two luggable loos surrounded by a wooden frame. This way there will be no danger of the milk and brownies sharing space 😆

[@SMafam5]

Another CTC here and so far have only used 1 bucket for #1. I have thought about this idea too and wondered why more people don’t discuss this option. However with age / circumstances beyond some people’s control - a separator I think is the way to go at least on one of the 2 options just in case.😉 Example: 1 Trelino type and 1 bucket.

[@cathleen3192]

We have the cuddy - love it. Agree agitator misses corners which is why we keep our little camp shovel in closet with cuddy The fan is very quiet - we had a 12 volt outlet installed in toilet closet. Good set up

[@LindyP]

I can’t believe I just spent over an hour of my life watching this……..brilliant and thorough review of portable toilets! I have a VW camper and am looking to change up my Thetford 365 for something, less chemical and water dependent and also a bit less splashy when emptying. Being a lady of a certain age I use the loo a lot overnight and feel that a urine full indicator is a must have to avoid overspill. 💦 😮

[@Bluebelle-Sprintervancon-wc5br]

Great informative video! Well done. Comments on the install of the OGO. The vent outlet rotates. Great for vent pipe placement when space is tight. The intake and vent fans can be swapped from side to side. Super useful for exacting install. The agitator button and pee light can also be switched over although OGO didn't leave a hole for that swap so you have to drill your own but easy to re-run the wiring due to the wago connectors. Also, the plug and vent pipe can be easily removed after install if you need to remove the toilet temporarily, to have more space in the shower for example.

[@user-um6lh7bc1w]

Some of these manufacturers forgot one important aspect of these products - size and portability. Some of these products, even if nice, they are like taking the toilet from your home and bringing with you on the camping trip. Besides that - thank you for the very nice overview/review of these products.

[@sigbauer9782]

To say that I was disappointed when that really was an air fryer would be an understatement.

[@lonesomebayou]

so....a home depot bucket, a toilet seat on top with a biodegradeable bag and using some type of animal litter, a chore of once a day throwing away a bag of poo as you do with a cat for instance is really the way to go. less expensive than all and something most people with pet cats do anyway.

[@bartdj]

Thank you for the time you put into this. It is very helpful as we are an older couple converting a cargo trailer to a camper and do not want to worry about a black tank. We have been considering the composting toilets but it is interesting to see all the options as well as pros and cons. Very well done with good info and good humor. 😁

[@BuckJones1909]

I’m developing an off grid property & this video has really gone over all the option of which I am aware! Excellent explanation of each type & the options within each method!! Thank you for explaining this topic in an entertaining manner! I agree with the earlier comment that “ don’t crap in my air fryer” is the best line!

[@Lillirose9539]

This was such a comprehensive video on rv/van toilets! Thanks so much‼️

[@ochjoo77]

We have the Separett Tiny in our Rv for 2 years now and it is absolutely fantastic!

[@ogocomposttoilet]

Ben, great video! Nice job and thank you for including us. Can't wait to see it installed and get your honest feedback. You can remove the solids bin from the top you will just move (push) the trap door up with the bin or your hand. Best wishes!!

[@ramzizaz]

One more toilet to mention is the Wrappon Toilet which is similar to the dryflush but individually seals the business

[@waynepecor582]

Great Video! Very helpful for us during or Cargo Trailer conversion. We converted a bus 4 years ago and went with the five gallon pail and diverter pee bottle. What a mess. We remodeled and went with the incinolet and it worked very well. The draw back was the ungodly odor for an hour. Incinolet said that the process didn't smell. Wrong!!!

[@KenCave]

I have an air head for almost 2 years in a bus and I aam now in South Carolina. It is pretty easy to clean but I seems that is needs to be cleaned out every two or three weeks with full time usage ( 1 person). The biggest issue for me is bugs in the summer. I have tried different types of composting material, diatomaceous earth and gnatrol. Nothing seems to work. Looking for another option, maybe a smaller bin the needs to be emptied more often but is much easier to empty.

[@starang180]

We just traveled for a month in a rented van with a traditional black tank system. We were curious what all the other options were. Thanks for putting this together. You make Sir John Harrington proud.

[@theresapotter3303]

Very informative, plan on rv living when i retire in 2 years so this is very helpful.😊

[@BeverlyAcupuncture]

You did not mention toilets with a foot pedal which is what most builders are now using in vans. The info on the composting toilets was great.

[@LoveOrpheus]

This guy knows his shit

[@michaelscarfi3196]

So here is my 2 cents. I have the airhead which you didn’t show. Virtually the same as the natures head but none of the issues you expressed. Everything lifts straight up. You could overflow the pee tank though. I had an issue with driving over 50 the fan isn’t strong enough so I added an extra fan that runs when the van is running only. It is completely odorless. No one seems to be honest about that laveo in my opinion. With no active ventilation don’t tell me it doesn’t stink while in use. Changing a diaper in a bedroom can stink up a whole house tell me how a load sitting in a dry bag doesn’t stink until the machine wraps it up and blows the stench out closing that bag. The whole van would be overcome and please don’t tell me how the 20 dollar rv vent in your bathroom solves that,not to mention people who don’t have a bathroom. If I could solve that problem I would probably switch to the laveo. I’ve considered a serious inline fan vented through the floor.

[@jgassa]

I installed the Tiny Separett in my RV. I absolutely love it! It's so nice not having to deal with a black tank.

[@bassmonk2920]

Been thinking of this company to build an upgrade van for me. The fact he knows all about toilets show how much experience he has accumulated in the RV world. I use a cassette toilet in a Solis and love it but it does have an odor from the chemical I use...

[@DaleKlein]

I like the AirHead (not in the video, but similar) vs. the NaturesHead. The Airhead doesn't have two of the cons mentioned for the NH: The liquids bottle comes out without lifting the upper half. (it still would have the issue with spilling the bottle if it's too full or overfilled). The upper half comes off without clearance issues to a side or rear wall.

[@RL-bu3rk]

Would like to see the AirHead reviewed side-by-side with the others. As @DaleKlein states, many like this unit - unclear on why it wasn't reviewed...

[@DaleKlein]

@@RL-bu3rk there is at least one video comparing air head and nature's head

[@airheadtoilet]

Thank you Dale! Your feedback is appreciated!

[@airheadtoilet]

@@RL-bu3rk Yes!

[@sarno82]

The dry flush option has a garbage bag liner, so if the Mylar rips, you’ll likely be ok.

[@valeriehammond662]

For pretty much my entire life, I've been what you call "an indoorsy" girl. I don't know what happened to me but I am now hoping to plan a 6 month van/rv trip all over North America. This video on toilets has been AMAZING :) Answered all my questions. I watched it yesterday and today my husband and I are watching it together. If that doesn't spell romance I don't know what does. Thank you!

[@tommoore2572]

That was a crap load of information and well worth watching. Luking forward to your hands on review of the Ogo.

[@mikefranks4528]

1:09:37 Chances of cutting the mylar is minimal as you forgot to inform everyone about the separate trash bag that the mylar is placed in the toilet (included with the cassette kit). Something that I believe should have been shown as a great plus in protecting the mylar and ease of throwing the refuse away.

[@Bigelsiet]

Thank you for one of the most detailed looks at camper toilet options great light hearted humour and user knowledge, definitely worth a watch

[@brownmamma3]

Incredible video! I don’t have a van but converting a travel trailer into a tiny house and I have been on the fence about what kind of toilet to buy!

[@donnamass9576]

This has been valuable as I’m on my journey to occupy a pop up on my vintage Chevy pickup. 👍

[@Demolitia-2A]

Tip for the Thetford toilets. There is special fluid for it that makes it not smell at all. (Thetford Aqua Kem Blue) Don't thin it with water. I have been camping for 10+ years and it was never nasty to empthy, just blue fluid. all the solids also desolve.

[@unknownquantity4440]

And what special fluid would that be exactly?

[@lesamaugh859]

we have used Coir/Bucket when camping for years. Currently waiting on the Joolca version, will update as soon as possible! 😄

[@NaturalMama85]

It is so great to have a detailed review of so many options all in one place. Your eclectic use of a wide range of euphemisms for potty items is histerical. Dealing with bathroom stuff is definitely my #1 concern for vanlife. I can't wait to see how toilet technology develops over the next decades until we are ready to get on the road.

[@yvan2563]

I laughed at "brownies and lemonade", and I'm definitely going to use those terms from now on!

[@kayezbiciak544]

As a burning man attendee, I can vouch for pee funnels! They are great for portos and a sealable bottle in the tent.

[@otownhilbilly]

Thank you for going so indepth on these. We are looking to upgrade our 'elcheapo' chemical toilet. I'm not sure what direction to go yet, but this has been incredibly helpful.

[@marthathompson2012]

Yes! 😂

[@Pytte]

check out this new toilet with a liner that gets welded closed on each poop/pee, and adjustable length depending on size. Clesana C1. Each liner package is around 25€ and you can get roughly 30-40 uses out of 1 liner, depending on size of poop/pee.

[@billiemfan]

Excellent and very educational video. Thank you for taking the time to expain all the options. As of now, I'm still in none of the above category.

[@liaatherton365]

We’re looking to put some kind of toilet in an outbuilding on a concrete slab where plumbing’s not an option & this video has been super helpful.

[@anneparker91]

I used the Luggable Loo for many years in a trailer as a primary toilet for 1 and 2 with a bag and Poo powder, which turns everything to gel. Very happy with it, though with 2 people, it needs to be dumped pretty often. Hate the amount of plastic, but it was simple and worked well.

[@garyreysa4729]

Really nice job on the video. A great place for people start. We have been camper vanning/RVing since the 60's and have had just about all of them. Our new one is a DIY urine separating and actively ventilated. As you pointed out they are pretty simple - buy the urine seperator and combine with a bucket, a bottle and a little carpentry and you are in business. Another nice feature of DIY is you can add features - ours has a magazine/map pocket, TP holder, and it has an upholstered top that serves as an extra seat. You can get some nice kits to DIY one from Germany.

[@amydelpiere9315]

Appreciate seeing many different toilet options in one stop. The Boxio you had seemed incomplete. I have also seen it with a hinged top, a screw-on lid for the urine bottle, a plug for the urine bottle to put in place during travel, a lid for the solids container, and the whole thing sat on a storage base. It was shipped with bags and a package of hemp litter.

[@SusanWright-u7b]

Thanks for making this really useful and informative video. It helped me decide what would work best for me and saved lot of research time! I have only one comment which might improve your presentation. You look at all the relevant information except how easy the unit is to clean. I get that most men don't clean the toilet, but someone has to and you do not address this essential chore. Some regular toilets are much easier to clean than others, and I am sure this is also the case for van toilets. I was trying to figure out what cleaning the unit would be like, but it would be great if you actually address this in your comparison. Maybe add this in your next iteration! Thanks again for a really helpful video that is completely about informing your audience, not trying to sell me something! Bravo!

[@adinahirschmann3112]

Could a cassette toilet be adapted to drain into a holding tank? BTW, we used a recirculating toilet in out travel trailer during the 1970s. It was modeled after the ones found in airline bathrooms. It was self contained but, when full, could empty into an onboard holding tank. There was a pushbutton that activated it and it pumped with a small electric motor. To control odors, there was an optional blue solution that could be added. The only downside was the need for special toilet paper that broke down faster than the regular stuff.

Thanks for the 'tour' of the options available!

[@lisablanco9894]

I have the OGO Nomad toilet. I like that it's portable. Here in Australia they cost Aus$455 (US$306) so it's a lot for such a basic system. I've only used it a few times but so far so good. The small handle on the pee container makes emptying a bit awkward and I wish it had a removable bucket for the poop bag. I'm going to try to find one. But overall I'm really happy with it as it fits really well in my cupboard. No smell at all too.

[@otterishly777]

Thanks for posting this. It's great to hear from people who have used them!

[@uribove]

Oh my mom always taught me to keep the lever closed on the port-a-potty until you need to flush to avoid smells coming up whilst pooping

[@ginamartinez6308]

All true comments about the Nature's Head in my experience. There is a need for improvement on the urine side. I like that you can take it outside and hose it down. Plus...the solids container holds a lot. I appreciate my flush toilet so much more, what a luxury!!

[@elizalewis4258]

We have a natures head and we use it 80% of the time for both transactions. It is hard to clean. To many nooks and crannies. But it allows us to use the off grid cabin easily. But it does well with the composting and the urine bottle is large. Also when your taking out the urine bottle put the lid on it then it won’t splash out and we have a second bottle so we can change out when we have a full bottle. And you’re correct to say they could do better even if it’s making easier to clean the compositing compartment!

Good video. You missed the fact that the Cuddy can be external venting by removing carbon filter, inverting plastic cover and using the rear vent tube. The Cuddy seems to me to be the best although agree with you that the mix may be compromised due to the shape of agitator and bowl. Would be good to have some feedback on this.

[@TheChristalblue]

brownies and lemonade LOL gotta luv euphemisms I went with Boxio the Ogo with no receptacle under bag creates issues not only holding but possibility of lemonade under the bag LOL..... I also bought the storage box for the Boxio which makes it the correct height for me and using the stopper the lid is no issue. I like the cushions they created to make it a seat in my campervan. Good reveiw . I thought about the Trellino but for the addtional cost was prohibitive. Thanks for the good review. All the female urinals to bottle are a pain and can be a mess. I do have a small LAOJU Emergency Urinal Shrinkable Pee Bottle 750ML Portable Potty Urinal Mobile Emergency Toilet for Outdoor Travel that sits in the door of my vehicle and it seems to be foolproof as a travel device.

[@coachmarkfbpd1315]

Well it was a great educational video. I had no idea that there were that many options. Great job Ben!!

[@MakeYourOwnMattress]

Thank you for this video! Waiting on my Joolca GottaGo toilet. Seems to have a lot of the pros of the more expensive toilets priced around $250. I like they have a real cap to use for when you need to transport the urine jug. I do think their solids hole may be too small but I shall see! May use a large coffee filter liner so I don't have to clean the walls and of course, my go to ping pong ball addition - as a trap to prevent urine smells from escaping. Pee right on the ball and it floats up, once drained it settles in to plug the opening. Fingers crossed this will still work with the Joolca's urine drain's design.

[@robinruns_late8375]

[@simonstell8018]

Hello Ben Appreciate your detailed study of portable toilets! Have you been able to review the Australian designed Joolca GottaGo toilet, using the liquid and solid waste separation concept? I think it has only been out a year or maybe 2, but looks well engineered, designed and thought out and a strong contender for van or boat life. I have the Thetford 365 chemical toilet you described so well, with the base plate option for fixing to the floor in our boat, but I may consider at some point in the future, replacing it with the Joolca system which is now available here in the UK, for more convenient and lighter emptying. Well done on the video!

Great video! Very helpful.

[@designbuild7128]

Good and thorough review; about the best I've seen. we have an RV and thought about one of these to eliminate black tank reliance (and just tank gray). But none of these portables are a panacea. I like the 'tiny' as perhaps best solution also: as being the best mix of pro's and price point. I think the question most people have unanswered from reviews I've seen so far is- whether a dry flush, separating, or incinerator type- what happens on sick days or people going one right after the other?

[@pamelaolson3633]

I am going to eliminate my black water. Thank you for this information. It will help me make my decision.

GREAT VIDEO!! NECESSARY!! You have 2 mistakes, 1st incineration toilets have several companies who manufacture them not just the 2. Most importantly you left out a great option tge Wrappon toilet. It heat seals each "GO "! Leaving you eith a small package 📦 which is easily disposed of without a long twisted bunch of filled mylar. Great choice highly recommend! Only crappt part is the esthetic. I have seen people make them nicer with some minor creativity. 😉

I’ve used the Nature’s Head (NH) on a daily for about 5 years now. I wish they would ask me what I would do to make it better. I have plenty of ideas. I agree I don’t think it’s great for van life. The One mod I did with my NH was to stop using the liquids bottle, well actually I bought a second bottle first. Issue was still you need to absolutely pay attention to the levels. Overflow mishaps were the WORST! Put it simple Pee explosion😅 I used a Hepvo valve and some PVC to my black tank. Boom no more worries with Number 1’s. When I have time after one of my Full scale cleanings I am going to Fill all the gaps and areas of wasted space in the waste tank and in the seat cavities I want to promote better aire flow and decrease the places for critters and dirt to collect. Thinking about using great foam and Henry’s silicone sealant.

[@kamwickw933]

Thank you so much for all the info - I learned a lot. Something I really don't like, though, is all the plastic that's being put in the landfill. Yeah, I hate having to find a sewer for a holding tank, but at least there's not the plastic 😿
