When designing a self-build campervan, one of the biggest questions is whether you should have a toilet, or even a full bathroom, and if so, which option is going to best suit your needs and budget. This film looks at five good options for putting a toilet in your campervan, starting with the under $10 option and finishing with a toilet that looks like it would be better suited on a spaceship!

i was really looking forward to seeing this because it's my biggest question about van life, it would have been nice if they could actually show how chemical toilets or any waste is dealt with as i'm a viewer who has no clue of how any of these toilets work in reality.
Bit of a late reply but just google - Emptying a chemical toilet. It is nowhere near as bad as you imagine. The hardest part is carrying 20kg of second hand chicken korma over to a toilet/tank hole
I would steer clear of chemical toilets and also dry flush. Chemicals and plastic waste. I like composting toilets equipped with fans. You can dump the urine receptacle that is typically in the front into a toilet or on the ground when wild camping, then wash and replace. The solid waste goes into a separate chamber in the back that contains coconut coir or humus (both can be found at gardening centers, Home Depot or Lowes) there is typically a handle on the outside that you turn that mixes the solid waste into the composting material and there is a fan that blows over that and vents to the outside and dries everything...no smell. Occasionally you bag up the contents of that chamber and throw in any public trach can or trash receptacles at parks and campgrounds. You can use a compostable bag for this. It's recommended that you don't wash this often as it is basically dry and there is good bacteria built up to enhance composting. See a Nature's Head toilet for reference.
I am looking for a different solution, I am tired of the chemical toilets. every 2 days looking for a specific place to release the cassette, and is not a pretty operation. I am looking into dry toilet.
It’s so nice seeing actual people showing different ways.
we really need more affordable advancements in this area
Trelino looks great! Also the channel travel snacks has a great self built version
We must be the only ones with a regular flushing toilet and black tank in our van (self-built Sprinter 170). I don't understand why more don't do it. We simply flush, just like a regular toilet. Dump stations are in every town and most campgrounds (in the US) and it's easy to hook up a hose and open a valve. Our black tank holds 14 gallons and it lasts a week, or more if we also use other bathrooms when convenient. And there's zero smell. It's such a great option, tons cheaper than a composting toilet, but nobody else does it. I don't get it.
Who knows.... Maybe they want to sell more of these toilets.... 🤔
Because you’re literally paying fuel to carry your poo around
@@MorfMusic As does everyone except those who don't have their own toilet.
I haven’t seen any videos of builds like that but I’d like to
Still expensive
I'm so inspired I want to go to the bathroom right now!
Omg so much inspiration!
Yeah, I get it! Yawning and pooping... Suddenly having the shackles of doubt shattered made inconsequential. It's a Super Poop, it's yours and you can pinch it off whenever you choose! Boundless Super Deuce!
What a load of crap! :-)
😂😂😂
Best comment!
(Laughed so hard I s**t my pants.)
Kingin- it are a brilliant couple, everyone should follow them, they are hilarious and so very entertaining
So true, their channel is epic!!
@@NateMurphy where's the incinerator🔥❓❔🤔 that's the best. Just watch out your 🍑
We definitely need this guide 👍
and yeha that portable potty comes with bags that have stuff like the cat litter that absorbs and keeps smells out
Good visual OVERVIEW of the subject, ut what would be more helpful is an analysis video that classifies the different solutions by type, including pros cons and expenses of each.
Would really recommend this video th-cam.com/video/hgmppzlJspc/w-d-xo.html by Ladi and Margaret, it goes really in depth on the topic.
@@gemmarogers4333 Thank you
Knew I should have thought a little more about it before I cut a hole in the van floor.
Works though. 🤔👀😷
The best hack yet lol
@@quentinlandon8726 Yeah. But I did it all wrong. Since blocked up the hole, made a new one in the driver's seat and so, can go whilst on the go. 😊😜😷👀
Lol. That works!😂 Go and drive off. Put a plastic bag over hole. Tie it up and you're good!
@@buzzinbee9463 Why not as you are driving?
Shower and toilet most important
Very nice video....straight to the point
I have a standard RV toilet in my van and it goes straight down into a RV tote tank. I can't use it without setting it up but I only use it at RV campgrounds.
Outdoorsy is great! I rented through them and the owner backed out at the last minute. Outdoorsy worked with me to find a replacement that was great.
Cassette toilet (suitcase) for the win 😎
Basically i can dump my waste everywhere as long as there's a toilet, dumping hole, sewer hole, or in nature if local regulation allowed me to dump my waste.
If by sewer hole you mean storm drain - it can’t be poured down there. Aside from the sewage, the chemicals in a cassette toilet make it a serious problem.
The biggest limitation to or challenge of #vanlife is the necessity to depend on public toilets.
I live in my 86 Toyota Dolphin, which has a grey and black tank. I use the kitchen and toilet every day, and it's nice to have the hot shower when needed. Oregon and Washington are easy since there are dump stations at rest areas on the I5 corridor. California is difficult, but I usually find an rv park with a dump station that I pay $10 or so to use. Living full time with my son i jab to empty the tanks about twice a month.
Good info,
I am considering vanlife with my 12 yr old daughter. Do u have any tips on schooling, safety and making friends?
Thx
@@danamariefinnegan7176 i homeschooled. Lots of online resources. Math, English etc. Superteacher was great. Khan Academy. All cheap or free. But beyond basic scholastics, I got him away from pop culture for a while (camping, riding, climbing, etc) then on the advice of a successful home teacher i took him to the library (he hated reading and still does). But I had him choose anything that looked interesting. Magazines, books, videos. No fiction. No direct scholastics. After he finally understood, we went home with loads of hunting, motorcycle, gun, bird, and ocean stuff. Then I had him simply pour through those for a few weeks. All interests eventually paled in comparison to his fascination with ocean/fish stuff. So I find a marine science center where we volunteered for about 2.5 years and he learned a ton. I did English and math through that volunteering as well. We had a blast.
@@danamariefinnegan7176 then to get him into college i went through Washington State's running start program. He simply had to pass the math and English entrance exams and they allowed him to go to Bellevue College at age 16. I took the first 7 classes with him, to help him adjust. Then it was up to him. He succeeded and failed at classes. Now he has 2 classes to finish his AA. Once he does, he earns a high school diploma as well.
I think a fair amount of gas stations in Oregon have dump capability, and for cheap, and we have tons of gas stations. I wonder, but wouldn't be surprised if casinos have them too, as they are desperate to attract people.
Fantastic information
I was told be by park ranger to be 100 meters away from any water. Or the length of a official. Football field away from water.
That also goes for brushing teeth, washing dishes, and out door showers.
Tesco bag for life
Great thanks!
Outdoorsy is great!
Hi Nate! Memories of BNI Sterling (and Snowdonia).
Solution....don't waste the space. You'll be carrying a box of human waste whichever way you look at it right? You dont need a bathroom silly, you're in a van not a house. You'll apreciate the space when you're in on those long dark winter nights. Unless you're not planning on staying that long?
You dont need a dedicated space for a shower either. Builders bucket (a range of colours available) + 12v pump shower al la dog washer = about £20. As for the loo
1. Put a bag on a bed pan (look it up). Use a compostable one (the bag not the bed pan).
2.Throw some pine needles in.
3. Squat and do your buisness. Arguably better for the health than sitting.
4. Pee in a glass jug.....chuck it in a bottle to dispose of later. Or dispose of it somwhere suitable. Never in the same place twice.
5. Put the poop in a plastic box with a lid.
6. Put the bag of poop in a doggy bin, they're everywhere. If you're really wild use a spade, it's groundbreaking technology.
I'm not dissin your thing. I'm just sayin, you can do it without all the gizmos and there's fewer things to go wrong.
Thanks for the snaptech
Cool options. Any links for these?
4:45 is beauutiful! Really wanna know what material their wall and counters are made from
Amazing
I would just use a funnel with a hose that goes to the black tank for urine. And a Porta Potti for number 2 only, and you could probably empty it anywhere, like in a public restroom, sewage drain, etc, etc.
What you are calling a sewer drain is likely a storm drain. A stormwater sewer is not treated; it goes directly to water bodies . Please do not put sewage into it. Sewage lines do not open to the air because they would stink and spread disease. If you see an open ‘sewer’ grate on the road, it’s a storm drain for water only and should not have sewage poured into it. :)
I miss the incinerating toilet here, but it may be the most complicated and expensive solution.
Expensive, yes. But the required maintenance is about as hard as changing the air filter on a car.
In exchange for that, it consumes no water or gas, just needs gobs of power. Or there are propane models. Nothing but sterile ash powder to dispose of. And unlike "composting" toilets, which really just desicate and do not compost, the waste ash is not raw sewage. Alaskan fishing fleets rely on them.
@@lyfandeth but it does come with a price, and you are contaminating with the smoke. I mean, there is no perfect solution until the vap-poo-rizer is invented.
What do people do with the used toilet paper? Can you put it in the toilet?
Interesting to see all the ways people store and hide their toilets, but I was looking for more technical information on the types of units and pros and cons.
We all do it!
I think ill do with the last option ..easier no?
imagine some kid just casually flips over those toilet lmfao GG
😂😂
Brilliant. But why are people not installing a small sink in the shower/toilet area. To wash hands in the kitchen sink is just 🤮
Hello. What is the name/company for that first, collapsible toilet that the woman kept under her bed? I'd like to get one. Thank you.
Might not be exactly what she had but check out the "Reliance Fold-To-Go Portable Toilet."
where i can find toilet show on 09:50 ??? on web
Well, that explains the suspectly brown stains on urban trashcans (and the rancid smell)... Is this why it's so difficult to park my camper overnight on the street?
whats difference between compose and
That dry flush toilet with the silver inside is freaking me out
The Laveo? Dry flush toilet doesn’t seem very green. How heavy does it get? 15 flushes per Mylar roll? Kinda costly?
Probably not much different to a composting toilet, where you poop in a plastic bag then tie it up and toss it, preferably at someone you don't like.
I had one, it's not worth it. Cartridges are expensive, it's very heavy to carry it out and customer service was non existent when I had problems.
We do composting and there is absolutely no smell. I wouldn't do any other way.
What brand
@@danamariefinnegan7176 we built our own foe about $50. It's so easy to build and maintain. I would never spend $1000 on a nature's head
@@CharleneOrtizTraining hi how can I do this, please help
Those composting toilets aren't composting are they? Bags of number 2s that are dumped onto the normal bin system is totally gross.
Absolutely! Composting means turning manure into soil!
Tons and tons of human waste goes into the landfills via baby diapers.
I bet you even helped contribute a few years ago when you were a kiddo.
Also cat litter lol
dog poos in baggies
Tesco bag milk carton and baby wet wipes
For pooping and peeing, I just put a hole in my van with a regular toilet. I park, poop, pee then move to the next spot. No flush required.
Common fact I got from this is that, they take out the dang my hand (manually) to trash it?. It’s looks glamorous but it actuality, it’s not
Thanks for the Video.
The Solutions you show are all possible and ok.
But one, i think we have to stop: to poo in a hole or somewhere else in the nature.
There are to many people by camping and poo in the nature. I think everybody has to take with every waste that is produced. Also the poo is human waste, that no one should bring on other people or other country land. For me it is also a question of respekt.
The easyest way is to use a dry toilett where pee and poo is seperated. You have you poo in a normal bag and bring it to waste Container or use as compost.
others again kinda fast but i think i like compose but if u could dig a hole yes or potty stops i dont want poo smell lol
I don’t understand, can someone do a live demonstration
I abide by the same rules in nature as the big mamals: just scat anywhere you like...
name last wc?🙃
BUCKET:D
Then there are best options of electric toilets toi.
How do you dump no 1 with those composting toilets? You carry the pee tub into a public washroom and pour it out that way?? Won't people looking at you think it's weird? Like, would you go into a Walmart or McDonald's with a pee tub of you are in the city? It's not a little bottle that someone could mistake for Apple juice and ignore you for, the thing is like a jug and it's obvious what it is
Rule one of van life.....
Nobody GAF about what you're doing.
Newb van life folks always think someone is looking. Did they see me dump my pee jug? Does that random person know I haven't showered in four days? Is that person over there calling the cops because I'm going to sleep here tonight?
Nobody GAF. Just do what you need to do. Trust your instincts. When you fully grasp the above .... Van life is easier.
I put the jug in a plastic bag, take it into the park toilet and pour it out.
Cuddy or Trevino or trelino
👌🏻
Price please
I just cut a hole in my van. I poop/pee/wipe then move to a new location. No Flush required :-)
I wanna know what's name of the last toilet🚽
You mean the jiffy popcorn one? It’s basically an adult diaper genie.
The last one is the best solution... I didn't get the name thought...
Dry flush.
One question: where does the poop go when we flush the toilet in our homes?
If you live in the city or suburbs and are tied to public utilities, your waste goes via pipe to a sewerage processing plant. If in a country setting, you have your own underground septic tank and leach field system. Basically that sums it up.
How old are you to ask such a question?
@@jonnie3112 26
@@jonnie3112 what's the eligibility criteria to ask such a question?
outside door to your toilet is the best option keep that chemical/poo outside
Why is every search result for a van with a toilet come back with camper vans!? Im just trying to take a dump on my lunch break
The first girl’s “equipment” could easily work in a regular van. Anyway, can’t you just use the toilet at work?
It's not a composting toilet in a RV.
It's a liquid separating dehydration toilet.
Love ours. Perfect for a RV. Awesome for winter.
Okay
cheap dry toilet cartridge replacement anyone?
Incinerator toilet is where it's at
A black water tank is "weird", but churning your shit into a pile of coconut shells is cool after having spent thousands and thousands of dollars fancying up a van... Got it.
We've been using a liquid separating dehydration toilet for three years in the RV. It's a much better way of dealing with waste than a black tank.
The benefits are numerous.
You obviously don't have the burden of experience with either but I can assure you it's amazing. If crapping into coconut coir could be amazing I suppose.
Follow your
what about incineration toilets? They are probably the best for this kind of living.
yep. pretty expensive though
Power requirements.
Man this I'm not comfortable with. I know it's not dirty or anything but still 😅
Oh lord id say its hell being sick living in the van imagine having gastroenteritis or something hell.
Hahhahahhahahahah
Imagine if its the person you live with that has it, they'd fill up that little plastic bag pretty quick
I go for a low tech ( aka cheap) approach of pee bottle and plastic bags. Cheap, practical, portable and needs no water, power or infrastructure.
Lol @ the poo filled ottoman. Yes because I would love to sit above everyone’s poo while I’m eating
Pee bottle and plastic bags - cheap and takes up almost no space at all.
Some explain well, some did not👍👎.
Play in 1.5 speed
the problem is when u are really in trouble, you don't take a dump and leave, u just stay there, waiting for your bowels to flush ...and that said you cant get up and flush the toilet right then.
Nobody mentioned adult diapers? Or just your regular underwear but challenging laundry day.
30 Gallon bucket, saw dust, job's a good un.
5 gallon bucket, double bags, Luggable Loo seat with cover. The baggette system
30 gallon ? 5 gallons

Who is this curly head cutie tho
As a trucker with 2.1 million safe miles I use a bucket with a Walmart toilet seat that snaps on, I crap and pee in a garbage bag and toss it in the trash at the truck stop. DO NOT USE DOLLAR TREE GARBAGE BAGS! LOL
How can you compare toilets from people who live in different countries? Rules are completely different depending on where you live. Where are you dumping your waste? You can't just dump your compost shit in the bin. Or on land you don't own as it's full of bacteria. It takes a year for your shit to compost properly. There is literally no where to put it (that I know of) UK.
05:57 Does henry cavill have a sister?
Do what the trains do, they just dump it out on to the train tracks whilst moving
There is a reason they say don't use the toilets whilst at a station
Nooooo waaaay
We have a sewerage system for a reason. Imagine the smell and health issue it would cause if people dumped human waste on our roads.
@@memuzzi1 horses do
@@BillyNoMates1974 Maybe you should start a campaign to allow people to dump raw sewerage on our roads. Good luck.

Strategy: dont pee/poo in your house.
People in 2023 are so soft and weird. I grew up in the heartland of Florida nothing but but orange groves cow pastures for miles. I'm 32 now but I use to camp a lot more than I do now and I've lived through hurricane Charley back in 2004 and every other hurricane that hit Florida since then. I became water conservative in that time because we were without power for weeks after hurricane Charley and a couple of days even just recently after hurricane Ian last September. When hurricane Irma back in 2017 I bought a whole bunch of bucket toilet lids and a bunch of clumping cat litter because that's what we used for camping at the time. After hurricane Irma I fully committed to Water Minimalism and Conservativism. I decided to stop wasting water our flush toilets were out dated and wasting so much water so we stopped using them. We realized cat litter is not sustainable. And systems that encourage people to divert number one from number two are not only completely unnecessary but often outrageous and price. Through a literal shit ton of trial, error, and research we discovered the perfect dry toilet method that is completely sanitary with minimum to no smell at all.
What's she saying?
alrighty，that first lady appears in the video, (pee on me , but not like R Kelly)
Please people use a toilet. Don't just kick the doo doo under under the refrigerator
Potty in the kitchen without any separation???
Horrible.
ok princess
That's how the Romans did it
Watch a few videos of human birth.
If you could go through that you can poo without a two foot thick wall.
DIY my old homeless friend, invested $30.00 dollars at a muffler shop, had a 4" wide diameter hole, burned in one side of his van for a bathroom, used a motor cycle tire, or a 3 gallon bucket, with bottom cut out, shi - in the 4 " wide hole, in any parking lot, if ever in down town Mobile Alabama, ? Step in human Tootsie Roll, ? it stands tall, after it falls approximately 34" inches, he wipes with a black wash rag, as people will notice white toilet paper, so watch your step, . he gets stoned, is constipated, he claims to shit one 14" long, cranks up, and moves some place else, feeds the flies, feeds, rats, but sugar free Tootsie Roll. 9 - 6 -21 Welcome to the Jungle. !
You're over engineering the toilet! Total waste of time. I just converted a 2010 Sprinter van to a house on wheels. For my toilet solution, I have 20 liter waste tank which I can empty straight onto the road with the flick of a switch.
When I was hiking in wilderness areas I always did what the bears and moose do. I didn't carry a shovel and dig a hole. I just did my business and went on. Simple and practical, no toilet paper. If there was an established trail I always tried to get at least a hundred feet or more away from the trail.
You gotta at least bury it, I'm sick of finding human turds everywhere
@@archygrey9093 When I tried to bury the excrement I could not dig any kind of a hole because the underground root structure was so thick. I hiked the AT off and on for about ten years. I never saw any human excrement anywhere not once. I don't believe you “saw turds everywhere”.
