Bro, your presentation and style is really top notch. I went the opposite direction as most people. I used to have a black tank and fixed toilet in my former class B. Never again will I go that route. I now have the exact Thetford you’ve demonstrated. I typically use it when I’m traveling with partner. There are zero issues with privacy, as you’ve pointed out. When I’m on multi-week trips solo, I actually take a portable toilet that’s simply a seat and bucket. I use compostable liners, and a compost for the the solid waste. Clumping kitty litter is pretty amazing. Zero odors. And I rarely mix urine with solid waste. But again, I use the Thetford when traveling with guest. I will never step foot at a dump station again. But that’s just me.

For people who can't handle the sight, I guess black tank is an option. But I agree, I will never use a black tank. especially considering some places now charge $20 dollar to dump it!!!

Great video. I wish you success on your channel. Good tip to use the shower. I have a Storyteller on order and I travel solo. I intend to pee in a bottle and poop in a bag, like I do now in my truck camper. If I'll be taking a female guest along, I'll load the porta-potty, but the van is gonna be set up just for me. Please press on with the channel.

i wish you would have talked about how you transport the toilet that you like versus the one that came with the van. The recommended toilet looks taller...
@IAmATravelAddict
8 ай бұрын
Correct. The toilet is much taller and I must admit, it is a bit of a pain. For short drives, I strap it with bungee cords right behind the passenger seat. If you watch some of my other videos, you may catch a glimpse of that set up. Other times, I just move it to the garage area, wedge it between my cargo boxes and strap it to the bed post. If I lift half of my bed up, I can even go use the toilet in the garage area.

That is a good video. One big problem. It does not fit in the shower basin. That is a deal breaker for me. The stock toilet kits in this space nicely. I agree its a small toilet from a seat prospective but I really don't want a toilet in my van that I cannot hide. I have used the stock toilet and it does the job.
@IAmATravelAddict

Thanks! Yup, I love the stock toilet because of that. If it works for you, perfect, no reason to change. But I ended up using the basin and the area above for storage when not in use, so I'm happy at least that space is utilized.

Agreed…an undersized cassette toilet is awkward, but always better than a black tank. it is. My understanding dumping the cassette in a vault toilet is illegal. It must be plumbed.

No, you can't hide it. The one that came with the van does fit, and it works great if you don't have a fat ass like I do. I would have kept it if not for the size. If you take this one apart, half of it will fit in the shower pan, but that's a pain every time, and kind of gross, tbh. I usually put it in the garage and strap it to the bed pole for transport. You can even leave it there and use it back there if you fold the bed up every day.

Thank you Peng. Just discovered your channel and will follow. Two quick questions: 1) now it's 8 months on. Any regrets? 2) The Dometic fit nicely in the Halo shower area, and the Thetford I guess doesn't. So where do you put it actually - or have you made it so it does fit in there?
@IAmATravelAddict

Thank you for the sub. So far, I still love the toilet, and I've even done #2 in it. Really not that bad as long as I use toilet chemical and wear my mask when I'm dumping. I love it so much, sometimes I don't even bother going out at night when I park at rest areas. The only downside is it's big, but sitting comfortably was the whole reason I got it, so I'm happy with that compromise. When I'm by myself, I actually just strap it with bungee cord right behind the passenger seat. When there are other people, I move it to the garage and strap it to the bed poles. And that's the beauty of this vs fixed toilet, I can move it wherever I want.

Thank you! Yes, I can stand straight up in it, but my hair will brush the ceiling. Realistically, I don't walk around the van straight up like a stick all day, so I personally don't really notice it. Check my video history, I have a 360 video with myself standing in it, that should give you a better idea.

Does the new toilet fit in the shower basin area like the stock toilet?

Unfortunately it does not, that's why I bungee it to the bed post. But it is more comfortable to sit on, like a real toilet. Before you buy any new portable toilet, I would definitely try out the stock toilet first. If the size fits you, it's a great option.

No, it's too tall for the lid to close. But I either leave it strapped down by the sliding door or on the bed post in the back, and it has been very secure, even when off-roading.
