We could have spent around $1,000 on a Nature's Head or an Airhead composting toilet, but instead we built our own for under $300. So - how did that work out for us? After a month and a half (and now in October 2021, nearly 2 years) ((and now, April 2023 - about 3-1/2 years) in the van, we're very happy with it. You can read more about this on our blog at timshannonltd.com/liquids-and...
And please note - due to many comments here telling us how peat moss is not sustainable, we've quit using peat moss and are now using wood shavings (pet bedding) from a pet store. And the wood shavings actually work better! Thank you to everyone who commented on that!

Hi all - just want to say that we've had a number of comments telling us how non-sustainable peat moss is, so we're no longer using that or recommending it. We are now using wood shavings from the pet store, and they're working great!

I’ve seen a video showing how to clean a nature’s head, how to empty it, also. You have to carry it outside and be rather strong to lift, shake, wash, etc. That process is not something I’m interested in. I love your system!

By far the best video and build of a composting toilet I’ve seen. Well done.
@ozmanfidaar6311
RU-vidrs like you made my van build possible, thanks. I built a similar compost toilet but added a 5 gallon undermount tank for #1, attached a 12v solenoid valve--by the switch of a button I can drain #1 safely in city drainage. Again, thanks to people like you for the wonderful content.

Very well made. Love the gas struts that hold the hinged panels. Excellent work!

What surprises me is: no one thinks to put a seal strip around the top of the enclosure. OK in this case you'd need a small handle or routered groove to lift this lid but - to me it makes sence.

Don't take the full bottle out, just cap it tight and slide it over. Then put the empty one in place.

As a future van lifer and researching all possibilities I’ve subscribed on this video alone. Weather I do or don’t go down the composting toilet route, this is an excellent video. Thanks
