Cassette Toilet Review - What Is it? How Do You Use it? Where Do You Dump It?

Best quote ever “it’d be kinda gross”!

Try one tablet of Efferdent (denture cleaning tablet) to get rid of odors for holding tanks. Next time you rinse your cassette, rinse it with a solution of soap, water, and tiny amount of bleach or hydrogen peroxide.

Hi...very well explained and demonstrated!! Thank you and happy travels to you!! Heidi

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.

You're right, it's not for everyone. It's obviously a lot more hassle than having a real toilet to use for 1 and 2, just like being at home (which is what camping is all about... it's not about seeing how much you can endure, or how far back in time you can survive without the amenities, it's about taking your home with you). I'm surprised you'd rather do number 2 outside over a rock or log (hey you've got lean on something or it might go into your pants) rather than the convenience of using your indoor toilet. I didn't know what a cassette toilet was until I watched this, and I watched this because we are looking at camper that has one (it seems to be a combination toilet and shower cassette which causes me concerns about how much it can hold when you use it as a shower water tank). I think this talked me out of buying that camper because it just adds a lot more work to the bathroom game.

I thought Muricans didn’t say ‘toilet’. 😮

Thank you for the explanation as you know I am looking for a RV and is not sure about the cassette toilet like how to clean it the maintenance there are few RV I am interested but they have the cassette toilet so I am going back and forth between it and black tank this video answered most of my questions 🎉 I am thinking of using baby wipes 😅😨 after I did my business and discard it in the trash after all if the wipes are good for the baby and it should be good for my you know what 😅😜🤪😂 and now I have to try to convince my family to It 😢

Thankyou im learn much things about- I’m begginer I’m doing first steps to camper van life stile

DUMPING IS NOT THE PROBLEM, THE SMELL AND CLEANING THE TANK EVERY TIME YOU DUMP IS THE PROBLEM. UGH --- it is a propane burn toilet for me. this stuff stinks!!!!

You two Awesome Review! How much water used for each full tank?

I don't know why Americans continue to torture themselves using Imperial measurements-they fought a war of independence to get over that sort of thing! :-)
One litre of water [1000 square centimetres] equals one kilogram! Petrol/gasoline is lighter than water, so it is about 4/5 of the weight for the same volume. [actually 0.79 kilograms]. A five gallon "gas tank" ['"Jerry can"] is about 20 litres. [The total weight will also depend on whether the can is heavy plastic or steel]. Only heavy fuel oil comes close to the specific gravity of water [water itself has a specific gravity of one]. Less than one means the liquid is lighter than water, and more than 1 means the liquid is heavier than water per unit volume.
Animals probably evolved continence for "tactical" reasons. Most animals don't want to contaminate their nests, predators mark out their territories, and prey animals don't like to leave a scent trail for a predator to find them. Humans are no different.
However, "hanging on" to your wastes for too long is probably not a good idea. Individuals vary in their pee and poop habits, depending on diet and water intake, their physical size, weather, and so on. A really full bladder can back up to the kidneys and do damage, and also the bladder wall can weaken over time. For faeces, retaining them for too long can dry them out [water is absorbed by the intestine] which can lead to obvious short and long term problems.
There are lots simple hygienic options for urine in particular, using a bit of common sense. For the poop, plastic bags or composting toilet seem the best. If you have a pet, you will be using bags and dumping them in approved trash containers anyway.

I watched another you tuber demonstrate how to clean up his black tank in a RV park and It looks complicated needs to connect the hose to the black holes and turn on the water to flush it out to clean it now with this types it looks much simpler

What I learned from your video is that your man is a beta-male. How would you have your wife or girlfriend Dump the cassette??

Who is going to be able to find a bathroom like that to dump it in the sewer? When I was young all we had was white buckets, no toilet seat nothing. Then we had to carry the bucket outside and slosh it out of the pail and it's gross. Give me a urine diverter and solids composted any day like in the natures head. It can be dumped on trees in the country to fertilize them instead of sewers. That's if your into conservation Isn't that why people live in vans?

Hello! A great video. BUT the gist of the matter is not dealing with "No. 1" but number two. If the system does not work for No. 2, it seems worthless. Digging a hole or carrying until you can dump just pee. So, if not embarrassing please advise how you cassette toilet has dealt with dealing with No. 2.

Thanks for the great video! Just wanted to let you guys know that your content is still helping strangers like me!

Don't bother with this! You will learn zip! They don't take dumps in their toilet, that's fine, but if YOU do AND take "number 2s" in yours, they could have told you what chemicals to add to the cassette what cleaners to use, what sterilisers to use, but they don't! at some point in your RV life you are gonna take a dump in your RV toilet cassette (they choose not to) but you will, trust me. however because they don't they see little point in advising you what to do then to keep the pongo's at bay. This video is a waste of time.

Adam loves this.

I love this!

How do you clean inside bowl after number 2 ? Does this toilet use water to flush, if so how much water ones it use?

Where do u guys do number 2 now that u don't use it for that anymore u could have a his and her 5 gal bucket with lids.? Good video thank you.

good video but lol the whole point of having an rv is so you dont have to poop in nasty gas station and fast food bathrooms.... you can just pee in the bushes roadsid??? seem like the cassete toilet is a no go !! especially with poop!!

Are you guys still living in the class B? I will be downsizing very soon to a class B Van as a permanent residence. I'm gonna have a lot of questions but I have no one to ask about it so far.

why hasn't somebody
merged a garbage disposal
and fast spin dryer
and a cassette together as one?
In this way, everything is
pulverized, water is separated out
and one cassette for liquids and
the second for dry material.

Great video, thanks for sharing. We are just thinking about purchasing a trailer with a cassette toilet and I was also wondering how they work, how you dump etc...I do like the idea of only using it for #1 situations (and #2 in emergencies only ha ha...).

i like this rv toilet

Having one of those just for n1, i rather have a half gallon bottle for it. And dump it it on whatever public restroom i can find

Mandatory face-masking is good for something else. 🤣

LOL UM WHAT?? You don't use it for number 2??? That's the entire reason to buy one.. anyone can pee in the wilderness

Nice to see Jeff Bezos poops like the rest of us 👍

Why people are praising this video I have no idea. So you use the cassette toilet for number one, and number two is a mystery. Do you hold in your number two until you find a bathroom? Do you go outside to do number two? Do you do number 2 in a plastic bag inside the camper? Maybe you have a pail with kitty litter in it? We will never know!

Love it. Great video friends ;)

I do understand why you only use it with number one. I get it. But it just defeats the purpose of having the ability to use a toilet if you just got to go.

Lovely story about taking a crap. Simple statements would have worked much better

You do not do #2 in it? Where do you do then #2?

Omg hey!!! I totally met you guys on a cruise in 2018!!! You guys were way ahead of the whole Van Life thing!!!

Thanks for showing us that option.

If only #1, why spend the money instead of just using a bucket with a lid? Or a Crystal Geyser bottle?

Sawdust toilets with lined bags are MUCH easier, cheaper, and lighter. So easy to dump. Funnel for liquid waste into a plastic dump bag, solids land into the dry sawdust and are then covered with sawdust. Odorless and VERY VERY easy and inexpensive to use. Throw the waste away in any garbage system with less harm to the environment than a baby's soiled diaper.

What if you mix up your luggage with a cassette and end up in the airport and the customs want to check it? you might be accused of being a terrorist waging biological warfare.

Okay so now i know that cassette toilets are horrible thanks

I already see the problem with not lockingthe cassette door -- someone steals your cassette and you don't realize it -- you goto do your business with no cassette and now you have waste all inside the cassette enclosure that you need to clean out -- loads of fun. If someone steals the cassette it's not because of any value but to be cruel abusive and they likely think it's a joke.

I was just watching someone else's experience with a cassette toilet and they said that dumping it smelled so terrible that they hired people to clean their bathroom after dumping. They also said it took 8 attempts to clean it out. What could have gone wrong?

Toilet paper in the trash can, ya'll are savages 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

ty

you are a guy....pee outside geez

Very informative. Wish most how to vids were similar. Thank you.
