Using an inexpensive dry toilet system can eliminate black water dumping dilemma.
Stansport toilet: amzn.to/3sAno9Q
Reliance Hassock toilet: amzn.to/2M5byne
Feline Pine clumping litter: amzn.to/3bS3RvD
We have received many comments about what absorption media is best and most cost effective. So many want to use pine pellets because they are cheap. In the last 6 months we have been experimenting with many options including 20-30 days with pine pellets. We can attest that nothing beats clumping pine litter for odor control. We have left urine-soaked clumping litter in our van for a week with zero odor in the van, whereas we cannot say the same for pine pellets. Pine pellets are fine for soaking up liquids and have moderate odor absorbing, but there is no comparison to the pine clumping litter, and we know why.
Pine clumping litter have odor absorbing compounds not found in pine pellets. First off, Arm & Hammer puts baking soda in their litter (they own Feline Pine), secondly, the clumping compound is a naturally occurring material called guar-gum that holds on to liquids and traps ammonia, and finally, many clumping litters include a “Biostat” which prevents the colonization of microbes that start the conversion to gas-off ammonia. All three of these things plus the pine itself, make for an impressive combination of absorbency and odor control. Ironically, the use as a cat litter is mediocre, because cat lovers like hard clumps to scoop out, which Feline Pine does not have. But for mobile dry toilets, that does not matter because you dispose the entire contents.
We are in no way receiving ANY compensation for endorsing Feline Pine!!!

Really great idea. Nice video. I did notice that when you were dumping the waste at the gas station that you didn’t tie a not in the bag at the top. That would be nice to avoid it spilling in the trash can when they dump the whole trash can out .

I've read that mixing 10 parts water to 1 part urine gives you instant fertilizer (for inedible plants). The only concern would be any pharmaceuticals especially birth control pills. I say this bc sometimes you end up with too much liquid water versus solid waste. I use horse pine shavings which breaks down in about 6 to 8 months sufficient to dump on my 2 wooded acres. I wait for it to totally decompose first in a plastic laundry basket which has plenty of air holes by design. I use bamboo sticks to churn it now and then. This system works great for my remote cabin.

We've been using the Reliance Hassock for many, many years. Mine is so old that the outside is a bright green. Given to us by my father-in-law, we've used it for camping and for grid-down due to storms. (No power, no water, for flushing.) I like that it has a build in t-paper holder/lid that also helps contain any odor. A few years ago, I bought the Reliance Luggable Loo with the 5 gal bucket. This is our backup for home and Grab/Go if we have to leave home. It's packed with bags, t-paper, hand sanitizer and even dog clean up bags. We've been using corn based cat litter (works well). Heard about pine pellets and have bought some of them to try, next time we need a portable toilet. I'll check in TSC next time I'm there. Thanks.

Great video! I use a dry litter composting system with biodegradable rubbish bags for my "number 2" toilet in my caravan awning (I have another simple bucket toilet with eco-friendly chemical for number 1s inside the caravan.) Me and my cat use the same brand of litter to poop on, and since I'm using bio food-waste bags to "poop scoop" each time I use my loo, the bag of litter inside the toilet can last me a week because I'm weeing elsewhere. It's great and there's no smell, or risk of sewage spillage with leaky cassettes etc, and much more pleasant to clean!

Great demo. I camp in my minivan sometimes, usually in campground with toilets nearby. However, last year I bought one of those hassock toilets to have in the van for emergencies, both while camping or just travelling, since so many places were closed. As it happens, I haven't used it so far. However, going camping again soon and will still take it for middle of the night/just in case emergencies. Most videos talk about using a separate jug for urine, but I have to admit I probably won't do that, or at least most of the time I won't. This video is helps me picture just how that's going to work. Thanks!

Agree that cassette toilets and Porta Pottys are flat disgusting to deal with. Putting a regular black water holding tank and dump system is an expensive complicated proposition and not very practical for a van or other small RV. Also the hassles of finding a RV dump station and the the joys of dumping, the dump fees, winterizing etc. Bucket toilets are a great option. We used a PETT toilet system for years which is an upgrade over the simple bucket/cat litter toilet. Same principle but the PETT gives you everything in a convenient kit so no finding garbage bags or gelling media. Even includes TP and hand wipes. Downside is the kits are more expensive. Now using the Waterless Laveo self bagging toilet and we love it. The bag cassettes have gotten expensive but since we don’t use it that much the cost isn’t as big of factor vs someone using it more often. We use the campground and rest area bathrooms when available and reserve the Laveo for emergencies and nighttime. One idea I got from watching this video is using a bucket toilet for #1 and the Laveo reserved for #2. If you could combine these two toilets somehow. Kind of like the composting separation toilets on the market. We looked at those toilets but you still have to handle solids waste. Watching our friends clean and recharge their Natures Head composting toilet made me realize it wasn’t for us

I had the hassock version but it took up precious space and the weight of the waste was an issue for me as older with arthritis. Also felt like I would fall in. I switched to the stansport with no regrets. I found a narrow waste basket that fits inside and still allows the gray bucket inside it. Bags in both. Rolled paper itter and sawdust (desicates feces meaning dries it out so hardly any smell) in wastebasket, EcoGel in gray bucket or if in woods just dilute and water plants. Scowl has awesome lemongrass smell. I can go a week with the basket for #2. I keep the gray bucket in for #1 lift out for #2. Get 3 days out of pee bucket. Use biodegradable bags for both.

A lot of people are also using pine pellets from Tractor 🚜 supply store. You do need much at a time because it expands when it gets wet abd turns into a saw dust consistency. You can also add just a little scented cat litter if you want but it's not necessary for smell. Works well👍

Good video. I think the key is to separate the liquids from the solids the way those more expensive units do. This cuts down on odors tremendously. Since I am male, this is easy for me as I use a plastic bottle (old gatorade bottles work great for this) for the liquids, and a dry bucket system like the ones you have shown here for the solids. I also like using those same pine pellets cat littler as you demonstrated as I get those for my cat as well. Toss a handful in the bucket and you are fine. Safe travels.

Oh, and I suspect the key to this system IS the smaller capacity - every system has drawbacks, and needing to deal with the used bags every two days is not a bad drawback, in my mind. If you had a larger system, you then need much bigger and thicker bags, that can carry a LOT of weight...at which point you're erasing the benefits of the smaller, lightweight bags....
@ToBeCreated
@ToBeCreated 3 года назад
So true
@DaphneLowe
@DaphneLowe 3 года назад
I think the issue isn't capacity, it's size/sturdiness. These toilets are designed for portability, but a full size van allows for more permanent installation that can equal the comfort of the toilet in a house. The closest I've seen to this are DIY composting toilets that homesteaders use. Everything (urine, poop, toilet paper) goes into the bucket, but they actually let it decompose, they don't use trash bags. Van lifers build toilets that separate everything and dispose of each individually. That seems like a hassle to me. I guess it depends on the locations you frequent. If you boondock in urban areas, finding places to dump a trash bag is easy, finding an appropriate place to empty a 1 gal pee jug is more challenging; if you boondock in wilderness areas, the reverse is true.

For dry porta-potties, AVOID CAT LITTER. The FAR BETTER CHOICE is HORSE STALL PINE PELLETS you can buy at feed supply stores at low cost. The pine pellets swell up into sawdust. There is NO ODOR and you can toss the bagged damp litter safely in any trash container. - or into bushes if you are out in the country. I travel alone and find that about 2 cups of pellets lasts about 3 days. Generally I avoid pooping into the porta-potty. But if I have to, I dust the poop with POO POWDER which puts an odorless sanitary gel around the poop. The pellets come in 40 lb bags, which I break up into small packets to tuck into corners of my campervan.

It does not. Think of why cat litter boxes smell or don’t smell. It is about the design of the litter. A good litter clumps (that holds in the odor too) and will typically have a biostat that slows microbial growth, which can cause the odors. The main difference however is that we will never scoop out any clumps 😂

Hi Terri and Chuck. I decided to purchase the Stansport toilet after watching your van tour video. In that video, you were using the Feline Pine Non-Clumping litter. However, I see you are using In this van toilet options video, the Feline Pine clumping litter. Have you found that the clumping litter works far better overall than the non-clumping? Thank you for your thoughts. :-)

Yes, the clumping works far better!

The clumping helps against the formation of ammonia. Also, thanks for catching the error in the link going to non-clumping litter. We’ve been using the clumping all along. The link has been corrected! ☺️

4 gallon bags are too small for me. Pine pellets work well and IMO if dump toilets are too smelly your not using enough blue chem. Also dumping the portables are easy to find a spot, any Port o let on construction sites etc is how we do it

Has anyone seen any videos out there of someone using a kitty litter slotted scoop to scoop out their own human poo poo from their toilet using *clumping* cat litter? Not urine, but number two. Urine can go into a jug. But it seems like you could sift out the human poo poo just like you would a cat's, and then just throw away the clump. People do that with their dog poop all the time; they pick up and throw away just the poop. Thoughts?

Should at least tide the 🎒 bag before in trash can.... laundry detergent in empty bottles hand sanitary and another bottle bleach one pump each about one table spoon each into one gallon bottle for urine keeps it refreshing until you find a toilet or sanitary place to pour it out and clean up the bottle add 1/2 cups of water and close the cap shake couple times and pour out repeatedly one more time if you want to and to use bottle again laundry detergent and bleach one pump each and add 1/2 cups of water and shake leave it in there to clean the bottle awhile reuse it again you can stuck up 4 to 7 bottles for emergency use

@@ToBeCreated NO, it isn't. Excreted waste is a biohazard and is a disease spreader. that is why, in third world countries there are so many problems. Your reactions to the correct critique is disappointing. Van life is awesome and is full of humans who respect the earth and others, are aware humans who live small and thoughtfully. It's ok to be wrong. You can just change your dumping place and tell your audience you found out it wasn't the right thing to do, Not to do it, and How to do it right. It's not difficult!

My friend forwarded your post. I am very concerned by what I see here. Your Show-off attitude about throwing your human waste in someone's trash can along your travels is not good. Nor is it kind to other van dwellers who are more mindful about how they dispose of their waste. In city council meetings around the country the argument that always wins the vote for banning overnight parking is "...AND THE THEIR LEAVE BAGS OF HUMAN WASTE BEHIND..." I strongly suggest you rethink your post and consider others first.
