OGO Toilet Camper Van Potty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udebd We’re so excited that we don’t have to take crap anymore! No more searching and paying for dumping our cassette toilette. No more smelly, dirty, messy dumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love this OGO Toilet<\/a> for our campervan!! We can’t say this enough. It really doesn’t smell like potty, it really is easier and less of a mess to maintain over all. It’s comfortable and I love that we can “go” longer without using a messy dumping station and the cleanup is minimal. We have the OGO\u2122 Origin<\/a>. This version has a fan and vent. I think it is even less aromatic than any other bathroom, home, public or anywhere because of the exhaust vent system!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no comparison in our minds if you can budget a compost toilet! I can tell that the OGO\u2122 Origin<\/a> in particular is the best option out there from personal experience and from talking crap about pottying with lots of fellow camper van home enthusiasts, both part time travelers and those who are full-time living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The urine diverter helps the ladies and any worry they had about getting pee in the right hole! The fan and the vent installed through the wall gives one a fragrance-free pooing experience for all! It is comfortable, compact and quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This “Toilet is one of the smallest composting toilets on market…Only 16″ side to side, 15″ front to back and 18.375″ tall. [The] unique design allows users to have access to every component from the front or top so it can be slide into cabinets, drawers, and other tight spaces without hindering the use.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some folks only use their RV potty for special occasions or emergencies. We usually optimize the use of public restrooms during the day on our outings or traveling on the road, but at night and early in the morning, we like the comforts of home. Our philosophy is that we want our tiny home on wheels to feel like “home” as much as we can. As soon as we start diverting more of our efforts from this philosophy, we know we need a change. This is why we switched from a cassette, portable toilet to a compost potty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compost Vs Cassette <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Portable Toilet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first two years as we traveled long distance while we built out our camper van, we used a cassette style, portable toilet. We continued to use this great option even after we finished our build and went on the road full time. These types have an initial lower cost, so when starting out, it seems like the best option, not knowing personally if a compost toilet is better and worth the money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had many experiences with trying to find a dump station or appropriate toilet to dump the liquid poo and pee mix that accumulates over about 4 days’ worth. The biggest reason we tried the switch to a compost toilet had mostly to do with the effort needed to be taken to dump it and it Had Not become less stressful for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
