I like that the Trelino doesn't look anything like a toilet, especially for a small van space.

@SPQR-Z 3 месяца назад

The Wrappon Trekker dry flush is similar to the Laveo. It’s made in Japan and is the Lexus of dry flush toilets. It heat seals the plastic waste bag instead of twisting it to seal. The per flush is less then half the Laveo but the unit is about $600-700 more at around $1600. Like to see a comparison between these two dry flush toilets. We’ve used both and prefer the Wrappon slightly vs the Laveo

We've been using the midsized Trelino Evo in our Aliner Ranger 12 for about a month now. Typically, for two people, we empty the urine pail every morning and rinse it out. We have used the Trelino for number 2 frequently. It works very well with a composting or drying material. We've used coconut coir, clay-based kitty litter, and now we're using potting mix, which works perfectly. There have been no problems with odors in our trailer at all with either urine or stool. The key is to keep the two of them separate and the Trelino works exceptionally well for that. My wife is the one who uses the toilet and she loves it. [I empty my pee bottle into the Trelino each morning.] The unit is compact and fits under our bed when we travel. When we are camping, it fits in front of the door and serves as a separate little bathroom. Lastly, the Trelino is far less expensive than similar diverting toilets. Even so, it's well made, strong, and durable. We highly recommend the Trelino -- with which brand we have no affiliation.

Been using the immediate disposal method for poop on our sailboat for years. No holding tank to worry about. We use grocery bags and put the used bag into a used potato chip or corn chip bag to keep the odors away. Have you ever smelled potato chips in the snack isle? No because all the bags are airtight. We just save the used chip bags and they work very well if we can't get to a disposal place right away. Trelino for us in our current van build. And.....thanks for the great comparison video....well done.

@tb6031 Месяц назад

Hands down, the separation of liquid and solids make the Trelino the winner!

@charleshood 3 месяца назад

No power required for the Trelino is a huge differentiator, in my opinion. Combine that with a much much lower "cost per flush" (no proprietary bags required) then the Trelino is the clear winner.

@carlwelte6094 3 месяца назад

My preference is a seven gallon plastic utility bucket with a Leaktite or Gamma Seal screw-on top. To use, I unscrew the top, add a kitchen garbage bag, and put a section of pool noodle or pipe insulation round the edge for comfort. And the bucket comes in handy for other stuff as well!

@kf8048 5 месяцев назад

Excellent review! I went with the Trelino because the bags you can get anywhere (you mentioned you can even use grocery bags). With the Laveo, you have to purchase their proprietary cartridges, which can be an issue if you are traveling and you run out. That was the #1 con for me against it.

@love2gocamp 3 месяца назад

We have a Nature's Head in our trailer and I'm probably going to change to the Trelino. The Nature's Head is not easy to dump and clean. It's heavy to drag out, and a job to clean. The urine bottle is hard to clean as the hole is small but the Trelino's urine bottle has a big opening, you can put your hand it (with a glove :) and are able to scrub it.

@OurThrivingLife 3 месяца назад

None of them "compost". For the Trelino odor & absorption use pine nugget bedding from Tractor Supply. Cheap. Odor absorbing. A urine diverter insert can be bought for under $100. Two containers, some plywood and a toilet seat you're done for about $150. 👍

@robiny1823 Месяц назад

I wish people would call them separation toilets rather than composting toilets, but I guess "composting" sounds more eco-friendly. We've used the pine bedding pellets for ages and it does a great job - definitely recommend!

@roslolian11 3 часа назад

It can compost if you use a biodegradable bag. Of course making something is cheaper than buying it from someone. That's obvious but people still eat out at restos anyway.

@SarahWRah Месяц назад

In my camper van I use an easier, low tech and inexpensive toilet solution. I line my barrel-with-lid hassock style portapotty with a plastic bag, add a cup or so of horse-stall grade pine pellets and get 1-3 days use camping solo. The pine pellets fluff up to sawdust which absorbs urine, with no odor at all. I sometimes add PooPowder as a supplement. There's no messy liquid to deal with. It's easy to dispose of the resulting non-toxic sawdust in any basic trash bin. The pine pellets are very inexpensive at about $6 for a 40 lb bag which lasts a long time. I divide the bag of pellets into smaller zip locks to tuck away in nooks and crannies around the van.

@nedrasink2440 3 месяца назад

I love my Laveo. It's sturdy and I don't feel like I have to do a balancing act to use it. I have to use the bathroom at least once (sometimes twice) a night. I like using the powder that converts liquids into a gel. The product is also great at removing the smell. Then I flush in the morning. The replacement cartridges are expensive but in a pinch I'll use heavy duty bag liner and powder to convert liquids into a gel. I agree about the assessment about the mylar bags. It sounds great, but sometimes, you'll end up with a random tear or hole. Out of the 15 or so cartridges, I've only had one be bad/tear. The liner bag kept everything contained though. I highly recommend the Laveo. Even with the cost, I love this option the best. I hope they come up with a better environmental option though. All in all, great product! Thanks for the great video!

@brotherlittlefoot2216 4 месяца назад

One way to conserve how much one uses w any toilet system is for men to use a 64 ounce Gatorade bottle when on the road. Need to pee in the night? Just have a bottle w the cap right next to you. I do this often when traveling.

@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN 2 месяца назад

I use a 5 litre water bottle and add a tiny squirt of bleach, I set it on the toilet lid, perfect height for standing. It's been working great for me this way for several years...I have a spare backup bottle in case I am not in a situation to empty for a day or two.

@ozmanfidaar6311 4 месяца назад

Nice review. Based on my field experience (full timer), I find it absolutely essential to have a fully functioning compost toilet with a vent fan. I initially built a Trelino type set up (no vent fan), this severely limits its potential, the smell and inconvenience for one time usage bags gets super annoying. I see the potential of adding a vent fan to the Trelino and modifying it as a full blown compost toilet. On a side note, if the difference between a regular compost toilet like Nature's Head vs Trelino is only $200, I'd go with Nature's Head.

We have tried both the Dry Flush and the Trelino Evo in our van. Hands down the Trelino wins. The Dry Flush does work well, but its expensive and will only last about 1 week before you need to empty. I do disagree re re only using the Trelino for #2 emergencies. We use our Trelino full time for #1 and #2. No smells, no mess and super easy to empty. We can go about 2 weeks before we need to empty the solids. After each #2 use we throw in a handful of Mini Hemp Stalks (rabbit bedding). OH and when we changed to wet wipes rather than toilet paper it's a game changer. We put the wet wipes in a tiny small bin. Wet wipes allow the solids container to last a lot longer. Urine separating is the way to go. So much easier and cleaner than other toilet types.

Can you use the powder from the leveo in the tralino urine part to gel it and still empty it out?

@Steve_MFr 3 месяца назад

We use a Trelino-like toilet. Composting is BS, btw, it's human waste. There's a reason farmers are not allowed to use human waste as a fertilizer whereas cow or even pig dung is ok. As long as you manage to dry the 💩, it has next to no smell. What we use is a bag of sawdust that we keep next to the toilet (I'm also a woodworker :-p ). The waste bag is 'primed' with a 1/2" layer of sawdust and the 'flush' is to sprinkle a layer of sawdust on top of the 💩. And it even works if you're a bit unwell and have a less-than-optimal consistency - you just use a little more sawdust than normal. We can go for a long time w/o emptying the waste bucket, and I am willing to bet it's even less offensive than what you have to deal with as it feels more or less a bag of sawdust and not a very soft hot dog in a large plastic bag :-)) . No odor whatsoever regardless of the temps. A million times better than the cassette toilet we used to have. We do have the vent hooked up to the toilet with a computer fan that runs all the time (Trelino has the same system IIRC), but I am not even sure that is completely necessary. We use composting plastic bags and as all we're tossing out is the bag, sawdust and poop, I don't think the environmental impact is even as large as with diapers. The main reason we switched from the cassette toilet was because of the smell and overall gross-out factor when dealing with a full cassette. Never going back. I am seriously considering going this route on our boat too as I am not fond of dealing with the tank and even less fond of the stink in the head when conditions combine to make the system operate less than 100%. The work involved in removing the holding tank is the main thing that's held me back till now.

We used a nature's head in our RV for 3 years then in our cabin for 6 years and it was fine as long as you take care of it. But I will say I much prefer the Trelino with the compostable bag over our nature's head.

Great review Jeff, question for you. I’m using a cassette toilet now and have to remember to “burp” it when I travel to higher altitudes. What effect does altitude (>6000 ft) have on either system? I would imagine it would force some of the air (and smell) from the Trevino pee bottle back into the van??? How about the Laveo? Thank you!

@LaraSatoriHarris 2 месяца назад

There's an optional silicone plug for the pee bottle. I don't plug it tightly (it's narrow/long, like a graduated stopper), so I don't imagine it would be a problem. Without the plug, the built in silicone gasket is very pliable and would breathe well enough with altitude.

9:42 - Gotta love the Germans and their sense of humor. It is what it is. The poop bag concept is a very simple and novel idea. I mean we do it for our dogs when we walk them, no different for us other than we don't have to scoop it up. My only question is what are the tricks to adding a deodorizer in there. If say one has to really go, and you're still 75+ miles away from the nearest garbage can.

@roslolian11 3 часа назад

It's great for convenience but expensive and risky in case it stops working or breaks down. Trelino should be at the top works likes manual version of the dry flush.

@michaeljuers574 3 месяца назад

The Trelino sure seems to be WAY over priced for a rather simple plastic contraption.

They’re all overpriced.

Neither of these appear to be anywhere near as good as the Separett Tiny toilet

I would recommend that men just pee in a bottle. If you drink from a disposable bottle on a regular basis, just keep your empty bottle and fill it up with pee, then throw it out when it's full. Or even use a mens bedpan urinal.

Got to be the most environmentally destructive way to make a toilet i would hat to be near a bin this has been in after a week

@Squirrel_Alt_Delete 2 месяца назад

the trelino is a total joke, who in their right mind would pay $500 for 1 small trash can, a 1.2 gallon jug, a plastic container to hold both of the aforementioned items and a toilet seat? legit these fools are high! wtf? i could build this for less than $40 and a trip to homedepot

@TreDeuce-qw3kv 2 месяца назад

Throw it away...where? Neither are going to work for me . I pee in a jug and crap in a bucket with a dump valve for a toilet or RV dump station. Throwing a bag of crap into a dumpster seems nearly as irresponsible as driving a fueled vehicle over 55-mph.

Both are a no go in my truck camper. Sheez, wouldn’t pay nor accept $$$$ to use either product. Sorry just way I see it after full timing for more than 4 years.

@jamesbaldwin7676 Час назад

Or you could use a 5 gallon bucket with a garbage bag and pee in a plastic jar. Same thing.

I own the Trelino. Not happy with it. It smells all the time even when empty. This plastic absorbs the smell and holds onto it. It’s probably great for a female for doing #1 but not so much for a male . I’m going back to my cassette. No smell until you open the blade after sitting down. I can deal with that, just turn exhaust fan on, but the trelino smells all the time.

Thanks for the input.

@TeutonicNordwind 2 месяца назад

What is there to smell if the bags are used (and disposed of) as instructed?

@davidlundy5007 2 месяца назад

@@TeutonicNordwind as I said the plastic absorbs the smell even after the bag has been tied and removed. Usually you can’t remove the bag immediately. You have to wait until you get somewhere to dispose of it, which could be hours. After having it for several months it always smells even after cleaning it.

@@davidlundy5007 And were you using a good compost material? This just flies in the face of every 99% of all the other "reviews" I've seen from people. Planning on getting one for a Promaster build we're preparing for. Maybe I''ll spray paint or polyurethane and seal the inside plastic and underside of lid before ever using as insurance to not allow plastic to absorb anything.

@davidlundy5007 2 месяца назад

@@TeutonicNordwind I used pine wood chips. Spraying it with some sealer might work. IMO, the Trelino is just an expensive 5 gallon bucket for #2, but a woman would appreciate the #1 container. It’s actually very nice, but it’s not for me.
