What a Valentine gift! . . . . Seriously, that was a great unboxing video.👍
A really good video explaining something that some people can't talk openly about but really want to know about. That's as good a box opening video as I've seen, and the workings of the toilet were well explained. Having had a cassette toilet for many years now, its something that does limit the time away from a disposal point, (a reason I love the European aires system) so this kind of toilet makes perfect sense when living off grid.
However, I must praise the efforts of the counties across the UK that are finally putting disposal points up around and about, they are appreciated, so just to save anyone feeling the need to comment.
I think if I was designing a van build, a separater toilet would be my choice, and given the construction needed to accommodate a cassette toilet, the final costs must be fairly close. It will be interesting to hear the report from the chief test pilot in due course. Take care.👋🇬🇧🇺🇦
That looks so much better than the one I’ve got! I don’t find mine very comfy and get annoyed having to remove the solid bucket to get the liquid bucket out. Also the lid always closes on me when I’m using it which is very annoying so I find myself jamming things under it to keep it up 🤣 looking forward to part 2 of this review 👍
Great video and very helpful. Just spent 3 nights 'wild' camping (first time I've persuaded hubby we dont need to use campsites all the time). Found that despite using public/pub toilets as much as possible, our small cassette toilet reached capacity before we could find a place to empty it 😮. And it was far more unpleasant emptying and cleaning that out than it would have been using a separator toilet!
I'm glad you made the distinction between 'composting' and 'separating' toilets. I've used compost toilets by choice on a remote property in France for 25 years, mainly to conserve water. A word about human poop waste in France. All communes in France since January 2024 now have to supply compost bins at the local rubbish tips (déchéterie), and sometimes in towns and villages, and now food waste must be separated from normal household rubbish.
Human poop is classed as a bio hazard, I found this out when I nursed my husband at home for 3 years, we were not allowed to dispose of adult diapers in the village bins, they were collected from the house by a special service, and if you have cancer this is free in France, if you are just an old person that uses diapers then in some communes you have to pay for this service. Understandably there is an ongoing argument about this in France, especially since I think in most communes babies nappies can go in the village household rubbish.
So now you could make a detour to find the compost waste bins in France, some are right in villages, others may be at the local tip (signposted Déchéterie). I would have no qualms about disposing of human poop in dog poop bins, and because rubbish is sorted so much in France it might not now be totally acceptable for workers to be near bags of poop as it is turned over at processing plants. France is so keen on composting now you may even start seeing compost bins at service stations soon. I will follow this up locally, and keep you up to date. Composting is an art, and this could all 'backfire' on the French as on their leaflets they fail to instruct people not to put oil, meat and bones on compost heaps as these attract animals and make compost heaps smell, and there will be no control over getting the balance of dry, green and brown waste that is usually layered up in a good compost bin. Or maybe they will collect week.y and take to a much larger composting facility. Great vlog Mandy as usual.
Saw them on display at the campervan show today at the NEC. I hope it works out well for Mandy x
I’ve had this loo for about 6 months now and I really like it. I don’t usually use the red rubber bung, unless I’m travelling when the wee container is very full, and have never had any spillage. The little membrane in the screw lid works really well, I notice no smell of wee at all (tho as I’m past pension age I guess I could be a bit ‘nose blind’ 🤔.😂. ) The dimensions seem to suit my anatomy quite well, far less accidental mixing 🫣)
I had a Trobolo previously but didn’t find it suited me at all, was a much smaller capacity and far less comfortable. Yes -the Trelino is expensive, but will probably outlast my campervanning days, and it is a quality product, you do get what you pay for! Look forward to hearing how you get on with it Mandy.
"Stool stool!" 😂 Love it. I've just switched to a simple bag style loo and pee bottle after getting fed up with the portapotti, wish I could go for a nice separating one like this but yeah... I will be interested to know how they work with IBS. 😳
Hi John and Mandy, love your videos. I have recently been pondering buying the Trelino loo, so it was interesting to see your video. When you do an update after Mandy has used it for a while, can you please give any advice on sanitising it, and where to dispose of liquids and solids? 😳 Thanks a lot, looking forward to the next video, Ashley 😉
Timely video I’ve been considering replacing my Thetford 335 with a Trelino. Enjoyed the unboxing and looking forward to the feedback after use. :)
Ohhh love it you got me at soft closing lid Gets a thumbs up from me 👍
One less hole in the Vario side Mel? 😊
Great vlog guy's 👍
I've got the Seperrat Tiny and it was a game changer for us. No more visiting a camp site to empty black waste, no more using water to flush. The Trelino comes with a better accessory pack BUT I like the shield in my Tiny that hides the contents of the poo poo bin. It's all crap really 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hi John and Mandy great to see you both doing video together. John just struggling with mixed advice regarding renogy panels series or parallel?
I’ve a 40amp mppt renogy controller and two 175v solar renogy but website says series, looking back on your videos still not sure, any advice would help.
Keep your videos coming thanks 👍
Is it weird to say I'm looking forward to the review 😂 I do hate having to use chemicals but worry about the smell?
Bit of a shitty valentines present John 😂😂😂 I hope you have a wee gift that makes up for it 😉👍🏻👍🏻 Trev
Great video guys. And a very important subect 💩. I do believe it was the main subject of conversation when we saw you both at the last NEC show 😂
Mmmmm Clever Mandy. And John, never boast about your bog. 😊
Really informative and useful vid, guys. Thank you.
I'm sure that Trelino are charging what they need to but it's such a hefty amount for, admittedly cleverly designed and molded, plastic boxes. F.Y.I. The wee (pun intended) one-way valve on the pee bottle is available from Amazon separately in different diameters for less than a fiver.
It’s about 50% less than I paid for my toilet.
Aye John, I remember you saying. Value is a subjective term but do you believe these prices equate to real value? Reading some of the other comments it would appear that quite a few folk don't. Anywho, if you're happy with paying that amount for your loo, I ain't judging.
I think it’s like anything in life, people see value in different ways, what has shocked me is how some commenters on this video have turned their opinion on value as a personal attack on us or the manufacturer.
Do you have a link for the Amazon valves, or else a search term? I've tried various words but not coming up with anything similar to this!
@@karenholdaway8284 Search for duckbill valve or deodorant valve
I use a design similar to this in my van. The only issue I find with the design is internal condensation build up. Sitting down on a damp seat can be a bit of a shock in the middle of the night..😲
No condensation in this one 👍🏻
Love you guys' honesty about all those things we 🤫shhh (don't talk about) ☺
I like it. Seems a bit pricey for a bucket and pee bottle though 😐. Cheers John and Mandy 👍🏻
Great video again. I would like to know if the rubber valve thingy you found on the pee tank is on any other toilet you tryed ? I think it plays a crucial role keeping the smell out.
It’s unique to all the others we’ve seen.
Good video on your loo thanks lee
Thank you guys, looks like some good shit!
Looking forward to the follow up. What was the previous one?
Here’s the follow up review th-cam.com/video/4jvAKIC6l58/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CgmGcepyZEBWyLNV
I have a separator with a full size seat, poo into lined 12L bucket and pee into 5L Adblue bottle. Empty the poo bag after every use and the pee bottle daily. Drop of bleach on the pee bottle and scented poo bags. Bag it and tag it! Seems a little on the expensive side does this one though.
That sounds interesting Garry. What system do you use? This Trelino looks terrific and simple, but we don't like that it is an open pooh bag. Hence yours sounds better. Not to mention the price of this Trelino frankly. 😢
@@juliancowburn4091 hi, I bought the Deluxe Urine diverter from compoost toilets. Originally I had it on a plywood box but now it’s fitted permanent under a removable seat next to the side door which makes for easy empty.
"Stool stool" 😂😂😂
John, not a comment re this vid, but I’ve searched your back catalogue looking for a video on the installation of your front spot lights. Is there a vid for this install? If not any chance you could do one please!!
My problem with mine is when my camper van is closed up on a hot day and I get back and open the van the smell hits me. I always think I have a gas leak, but it’s the Trelino and it’s empty and still smells. I tried washing it then tried it empty again and it still retains some odor.
Have you tried using sawdust as a base layer and then to cover over each no2 ? That’s what Mandy does & it doesn’t smell in her van.
Where do you dispose of the waste when in France or Spain ? I don’t think you can use regular bins ?
Regular bins are fine anywhere
I was just wondering how you are getting on with the Trelino? We are thinking about switching from a porta potti to one, but at £400 I want to make sure it’s a good quality product. Hard to know from other videos if the reviews are genuine, but I trust yours. Thanks 🙂
So far Mandy likes it, easy to use and comfortable to sit on.
Thanks, John. I appreciate your reply at this shitty time for you both. You are doing an amazing job supporting each other ❤

Nice one!!! YAM xx
Are the liners and pad you placed in there compostable?
I have used a self-made separating system for 5 years now. No public sewer where I live. Separating #1and #2 makes all the difference in a composting system. #1does not smell much if diverted to a clean container. #2 normall does not smell if covered properly with a dry compostable material. I use dry sawdust/shaving from my chain saw. I empty #1 on my lawn. Spread it out. To much on the same place poison the soil with nitrogen. #2 I mix with grass clippings in an insulated compost bin. You want the temperature to reach +66°C For a few weeks to kill of bacteria. When I know I have reached the temperature I place this rich compost in a holding area for a while until I mix about 1 to 10 with clay soil and sand. Trees, bushes and plants that like rich soil thrives in this. It is a mystery to me why we still mix it all with water and create a mess of it. The price looks steep until you try to make one yourself adding labour cost.
Hi great video great review I was impressed right up to when I saw the price £500 for a plastic bucket and some bin liners your sh####g me lol😂 a question would you spend £500 on it
I paid £959 for my loo, the old cassette loos are not cheap either, but you get a quality above and beyond the cheap simple ones.
Himself tells me the blue bit is called a 'duckbill valve'
Learn something new every day! X
So have you stopped using the sawdust now or do you use it in conjunction with the mats? I take it you still use the solbio too?
I stopped using sawdust and just use the pads.
@@GadgetJohn Thanks, I will try some. Can you reccomend any bags for the tiny?
Cool idea...Just the pricing isn't so cool 😞
Please excuse my ignorance but where do you empty this type of toilet (both liquids and solids)
Poo bag in a bin & pee goes anywhere you’d normally pee.
I’d love to know where you empty your solids. Liquid is no problem but the majority of campsites don’t cater for solids, or am I missing something?
My question too, wonder why no one has answered?
I was just wondering if you’re allowed to bag it up and put it in the bin like you would with dog poop?
This may sound weird but why do you want to separate the wee from the poo? Do you take the
“Poo bag” to a Dog bin or something?
Separating the two removes a huge amount of smell and allows for far easier disposal of both. Empty the poo bag in a bin & the wee can be emptied wherever you’d have a wee
😊
I have something like that for when I camp on islands, its foldable and very good. I have to say though that is the ROYALTY VERSION or the ROLLS ROYCE version. I am a bit confused though (which is not hard for me) with mine its just a poo TOILET and pee on the grass, Is this one like a DOGGY BAG ? one poo one bag? Eve with your pad you put down surely it would stink if it was more than one? Thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA.
The poo bag holds around a week or so of number 2s 👍🏻
@@GadgetJohnexcuse me for being blunt John, but doesn't it smell after a week? Also, how do you feel when opening the lid and seeing the open poo bag? Other systems like the expensive Tiny Separatt at least have a cover over the poo bag.
After you've both christened it, do you have to return it? I guess in their line of work, they'll let you keep it. 😂
Ey up. Saw you yesterday on site, just to say hello to and briefly discuss the merits of the sites neighbours.
You must have just been making this vid ha ha.
Nice socks Mandy.
I like that or doesn't look toilet shaped.
Well that video was a load of P155 & SH1T 🤣
You're such a romantic John.
Im sure I've missed it previously but how do you dispose of the poo?
In a bin 👍🏻
@@GadgetJohn oh ok! 👍
👍🚐🚐😎
Don’t give it a shit review 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bit of a shitty video that one 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I just dont see £299 to £499 value in a plastic bucket and bottle with a seat and thats the eco version upto £699 for their not so eco one
