  • Laveo vs Wrappon Trekker WT-4 Dry Flush Toilets reviewed and compared. We have chosen a Dry Flush Toilet for our Sprinter conversion build. We believe this is the best option for how we will be using our Sprinter camper. These toilet’s per flush operating are high. They are better suited for limited use vs a full time living or heavy use because of the higher operating costs. As always we recommend that people think about how and where they will be using their vans which will help determine what toilet options will best serve their needs. Below are UA-cam playlists for additional user real world feedback on the Laveo and Trekker toilets as well as other alternative Dry Flush toilet options. Info provided in our UA-cam videos are for informational purposes and we are neither recommending or endorsing any products. We suggest people always do their own research and Due Diligence before plunging ahead with their hard earned money

    For folks looking for a permanent or semipermanent installation, the Laveo is a better package: it looks and feels more like a traditional toilet and it stores the waste internally. But if the Wrappon is installed in a purpose built box (like the one made by Lost Hiway for example), and then its advantages over the Laveo shine through. There are no bulky cartridges that need to be stored. There is no long term storage of human waste, the individual bags can be disposed of whenever convenient.

      Agree with your points 100%. The Trekker is slightly cheaper per flush and the thermo liner cartridge is much more compact to store an extra when traveling. To get the same amount of flushes as a Trekker roll with the Laveo you would need 3 of those bulky plastic cartridges. Not a big worry for me personally but throwing all those plastic cartridges in the dumpster doesn’t sit well with me or most people. The Swiss Clesana C1 toilet looks to be the best of both worlds. They use what looks to be a direct copy of the Wrappon sealing system and multi layered bags but package it in a more traditional form factor like the Laveo. It also has a feature that lets you select the bag size, smaller for a #1, larger for #2. The bags drop into an internal bin for storage until you empty it. The Clesana C1 sits right in the middle price wise at about $1200. I have never smelled anything funky from the bags the Trekker produces. The bags seem Odor proof as advertised. We will probably put the Trekker in the van build and the Laveo in our off grid hunting cabin

    The one on the right it’s the one I saved to Amazon cart 3 months ago and already unavailable any ideas how to get this kind somewhere else.

      If you’re referring to the Laveo Dry Flush you can buy one directly through the Manufacturer’s website: dry-flush.com. Also several big distributors like: ShopTinyHomes, Master-Overland, Nomadic Supply etc. The prices are all the same including Amazon. Perhaps you can catch a small discount or get free shipping. It’s heavy and large to ship so that savings may be significant

      No problem happy to help. Okay I thought you were talking about the Laveo Dry Flush.
      The square silver toilet is the Trekker and is made by Wrappon company. I think they aren’t selling on Amazon at the moment. You can buy directly from Wrappon which is where I bought ours. Try WrapponUSA.com or their affiliate partner OK4WD.com. There are several other online distributors that sell Wrappon products that may or may not have them in stock and will order it for you then drop ship directly from Wrappon. But Wrappon USA and OK4WD always seem to have product in stock and can ship immediately.
      Both of these dry flush toilets are an excellent choice and have worked flawlessly in the time I’ve used them. I will post a follow up video once I have tested the Trekker toilet some more and also give some tips on getting the best from them. Also you can checkout some of the alternative toilets I mentioned at the end of the video. These are all dry flush toilets and may interest you. I understand your situation in researching the various options on the market. It’s an expensive purchase and you want to be sure you are getting the best toilet for money spent. Good luck.

      @@SPQR-ZI’m looking for that china knock off one it was $399 but no longer available went so fast. Do you know where I can get that one it was white looked like it wasn’t as heavy as the trekker. I just liked it more was more sleek looking. The trekker with the metal just doesn’t have the real toilet cozy feel as white.

    Hmm. Seems simpler and a ton cheaper to just use a biodegradable plastic bucket liner and coir...tie it up yourself . still no cleaning to do just dump in trash or composter.

      Agreed, bucket/bag way way way cheaper as a matter of fact. These toilets are in fact just a fancier, more complicated and expensive version of what you just described. We used a Pett bag toilet for many years when tent camping and it was totally adequate. I did promise my wife a “flush” toilet in this van build so we now have that. Many ways to address the toilet situation. For some people a bucke/bag system, some it’s a full on home water flush toilet. Some people just a shovel, a hole dug and no toilet at all. I will add that on my last hunting trip all the people in our hunting party with shovels and buckets wanted to use my Laveo dry flush toilet lol
