Absolutely concur!! I live in a regular house with a flush toilet, which my housemates use. I have a Trelino in my guest room for backup use -- as a guest toilet, hurricane toilet, and demo of an eco-friendly stylish toilet. (I myself use a basic Jenkins bucket system for now, but I may treat myself to an additional Trelino for my own use in my garage/studio offgrid glamp-partment as well!)

I bought the white Trelino (same size) back around January for my new RV life and I LOVE IT!!! I did a ton of research on composting toilets and what was the easiest to use and clean and Trelino beats the competition by leaps and bounds at about half the price (or more) than the others. To anyone reading comments and wondering, THIS IS THE BEST COMPOSTING TOILET ON THE MARKET!!! So glad to see someone else has found them and now promoting them.

I don’t understand the hype about the Trelino toilet. I just got one, put it in my van and used it and within one day the van smells. with my chemical toilet it smells after like three days but it’s a chemical smell. With this toilet. I put peat Moss down and after use I put more peat Moss down and the whole van smells now. so I don’t get the hype. It smells far worse than my chemical toilet, which only smells like chemicals and only when I lift the lid, and only after 3 days or so. I was really hoping this toilet would work. Not only does it not work but it is made of very thin plastic and costs 400$ for the smaller one. I’m thinking you also have to use coffee grinds or I just return this toilet . I was expecting it to be at least the grade of plastic that is in the 5 gallon water jugs. It is not. It is very very thin.

A woman who travels in a van through Scotland (Aisling something or other) posted a review of this toilet (she also really likes it). One thing she does which I think is a nice idea is that she has an additional reusable shopping bag that she puts the pee container in when she takes it somewhere to dump it so that it is even more discrete. Her bag is also more than large enough to fit a couple of solid bags as well so she can toss them in a trashcan on the way to the public bathroom to dump her liquids. She also purchased an additional liquid container as an emergency backup just in case. This is also probably a pretty good idea.

One concern my husband has for our overland vehicle (which does NOT have a holding tank for sewage) is where do we store that large 5 gallon bucket of organic material (hydrated coconut coir)? It would take up a lot of room. Also, since you are not really "composting" your solids, could you use something like kitty litter? It's easy to find and desiccates solid waste. Thanks for video on the Terlino. We currently have a flushable / chemical porta-potty in our overland vehicle and it's pretty good, but it's heavy and clean out is not fun. Looking for alternatives, so thank you for video, I'm considering this toilet!

I like composting toilets just for the water savings if nothing else and I think more and more innovation is coming with them. One thing I recently saw was on a new Airstream where the liquids still go into the black tank and the solids are in the composting bucket so you don’t have to fill the black tank with water and chemicals, and you don’t have to empty the small liquid bottle every day or two. That liquid container looks larger than many others and I would probably buy a spare for just in case you fill it in the middle of the night. I had seen another brand with a display light when the liquids were getting full. I don’t remember if it ran by its own battery, or it was connected to the RV battery, but it would be nice to know how full it is without disassembling the toilet.
