I recommend emptying your cassette toilet into your sewer line clean out valve outside the house so you can avoid bringing in the nasty cassette into the house altogether! It has been an amazing alternative.

This one is literally worthy of being aired on prime time cable tv. Hey, if the Kardashians can make it on air every week, I know this vid has a long shelf life.

[@craiglyndaziegenhagel4344]

I appreciate all of your videos...even the wretched ones. Your candor, knowledge and sense of humor makes this one more.....flushably appealing.

[@owloffroad]

We can both admit it’s crap 😂

[@stephenkramme7063]

John I think this is the best video you ever put together! Loaded with practical, useful, "this is how I do it" information - really good! Thank you.

[@taylorj9920]

Man I'm glad my midwest van has a flushing toilet and tanks w hoses Forget moving cassette full of doo doo nights

[@AnnCastro-r2j]

Yikes, that sounds intense! Can't wait to see what makes this the grossest van video ever. We sent you an email, take a look.

Don't forget about the "Thetford RV Toilet Seal Lube and Conditioner - Toilet Seal Lubricant" to keep your seals from drying out.

[@owloffroad]

Great point. Might need to make a second video...a #2 (SMH)

[@headinghome1644]

Haha. That was a good video John. Very helpful. Some things just gotta be said.

[@shawnbrown557]

We added one of those SOG fans for Thetford cassette toilets. That has been the best thing for controlling order by eliminating it all together. Best mod and was easy to install.

[@ANomadsNest]

Lol you are super entertaining as usual! Great educational video, thanks!

[@herbmanning8348]

Great video. Cassette toilets indeed are gross. I had no idea how lucky I was for having a composting toilet.

[@erickirn622]

I use the Happy Camper powder and I mix it in a 20oz. bottle first, and then put in my toy-toy. It works amazing!! No smells ever! I like to use my toilet at home for emptying. This way I can wash out the cassette and keep it clean. I am coming to see you in Mesa John!! Gotta get my boingers upgraded!

[@pher71]

Thanks for this video, very informative good job!! 👍👍

[@ctrawick3]

Dump the gray tank, John. Yes. No worries at all.

[@SurferGirlHB_aloha]

Hi! Isn’t that blue button used for air flow? I’d rather use that than risk opening that hatch! Another trick we like to do is empty some gray water into the cassette when we’re on the road so essentially it gives the cassette an extra cleaning.

[@wmglobal2943]

what a load of...haha. Just kidding. Very helpful thanks John!!

[@nickh8370]

Funny boy! Keep up the good work.

[@sparkomaster]

Water systems, water tank cleaning, how long is water good in your tank. When should you empty it to keep it safe?

[@fredschuman8495]

helpful reminder: flush toilet and close valve completely before removing cassette

[@owloffroad]

Good point

[@TeutonicNordwind]

LOL. for sure

[@ctrawick3]

To the germaphobes out there, Do not throw this in the dishwasher.

[@johnpatterson5744]

I wouldn’t use a chemical toilet.prefer to use a composting toilet.

[@owloffroad]

Totally understand but most vans come with a toilet and it is too complex to change

[@TeutonicNordwind]

Why?

[@P6life]

BOOM Shakalakah!

[@TeutonicNordwind]

I always get a kick out of the "vanlifers" who are giving their tour and say they've been living in their van for one or two years and "This is our toilet but we've never gone number two in it. We just don't do that" WHY?? Often times it's the metrosexual Gen Z male with the "man bun" LOL We had a cassette at our off grid cabin in the early years and was no big deal. Getting ready to do a van build and have decided on the Trellino separator style. You can put their bag in the rear/#2 compartment, do your business, twist tie it and drop it right in the roadside or Walmart/McDonalds garbage can. BOOM! And before anyone starts freaking out...who cares. Millions of people have been doing it for over fifty years with disposable diapers in restaurant and gas station bathrooms, etc

[@gmurillo5765]

I refuse to use mine or dump my wife’s boom boom. Everyone handles their own. I carry the 5 gallon bucket camp toilet and we buy waste bags for boom boom and toss when done. It’s multi purpose then my wife can use the bucket to shave her legs. For number 1 I keep the empty DEF jugs and use a funnel. It’s like having a portable urinal with the hose lol I just dump crystals in the DEF jug and no smell.
