    Hi love the video , i fitted a OGO to our van and we just love it ,easy to use and clean, we use about 7 lt of the 15lt brick with 500 mill of water works for the two of us , best time line we have got is just under 3 weeks , keep up the great work and travel safe.

    I’d still recommend a compost for weekend, short stays. My family of four have a compost toilet and wouldn’t go back to a cassette.

      Yeah they are the go I was just looking at a money perspective as you would have to rip out a cassette toilet to put one in but if you don’t like the dump point it’s a massive plus!! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

    Great video,we looked at the Ogo and cuddy and decided on the cuddy as it is $500 cheaper,doesn't have a motor to breakdown and the red light is on top so it is easier to see when it comes on,we use a third of the 15 litre brick and add about 700 mls of water and for 2 of us it last 3-4 weeks 😀

    The wife and I have been off grid for six months so far and we couldn’t be without our Ogo.
    Will have to try the no water method now! We’re only getting about 7-10 days out of it putting in a third of a brick. I’m forever adjusting the pee sensor too.
    We use Coles doggy bad for toilet paper, one bag for one event. I like the idea of just having an airtight bin though.
    What you guys using to clean the bowl, underneath the trap door and stuff?

    Sic video. We’ve settled on the cuddy composting loo for our next set up, similar to the OGO. I guess there is 5 of you, you must have been always going to dump points 😩

    Just got back from a 6 week trip using our OGO with a family of 3. I don't see how anyone gets 5 weeks as the manual says its only good for up to 25 dumps. Must be some serious constipation going on in those families. Do the math, I reckon that number is about bang on. I only changed it twice on our 6 week trip but we were using toilets at parks as well. Was looking like it was composting well both times I changed it, no smells, no mess. I add water but a tip I got off the importers here in oz is just slowly add it and agitate it at the same time. Once the coir peat is catching at the sides a bit that is it. Too much moisture is your enemy.

      Yeah I know right I can’t get any longer but I’m still stoked I don’t have to use a dump point anymore and stay off grid longer! Ahhh okay might have to give that a go and see. thanks so much for watching and supporting us means a lot 😊

    Nice review review BUT there is a much better way!
    First up ANY urine separating toilet is a win over a cassette chemical toilet. I think the OGO is one of the nicer designs for a "stir the solids" type.
    Go a urine separating toilet with a bag liner in the solids. We tried a few toilets and now use a Trelino Evo, has a bag liner in the solids. It's a game changer.
    No having to mix compost material, not stir the solids, to empty and refill takes me all of 3-4min and I am done. Tie off the bag, lift out bag, your done.
    We just throw in a handful of mini hemp (rabbit bedding) after each solids use.
    As far as "composting toilets" even if you keep your solids for a few weeks, no one is composting. it takes 9-12 months for human solids to safely compost.
    With a bag liner you can still use a compostable bag liner, and eventually the bag and connects will compost just like a stir the solids type toilet.

      Hi thanks for watching 😊 yeah I felt the OGO had the upper hand over the ones I was choosing from.
      Yeah so a friend of ours have an OGO and the cog broke in the base and they are doing exactly what your talking about but in the OGO with the bag! Might have to give it a try would definitely help with the change over much cleaner haha 😜 thanks again for the support means a lot

      We go away for weekends and 2-3 week short trips, and have an OGO. We would not be without it and leave the solids section filled to continue to compost months at a time before we empty and set up it again. The last time, we set it up at the end of March, then emptied almost 6 months later. The longest we were living in this van was 8 weeks and we prefer to camp off grid. There’s only 2 adults, and we’ll use a public loo if one is available, but I love our OGO. We had a Natures Head (We lived in the van continuously for almost 6 months between empties) before this one and prefer the OGO. We just empty the urinal most days and haven’t had any issues with it overflowing. Like you, we’ve noticed the sensor light coming on even when it’s empty, but it doesn’t seem to last long. We have a bag of composting solids sitting on the back deck at the moment, you know, composting. I made sure to tell hubby what it was, as earlier this year, he opened a green garbage bag up and stuck his head inside it while asking what was in the bag……. Then realised what it was 🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩💩💩

      @@Thehangertribe that’s the thing; there was no smell and it just looked like garden soil. It was just the idea of it that surprised him ☺️☺️☺️. We’re used to using public toilets when they’re available as we did so for years before we had the “luxury” of a cassette toilet and I’d wanted a composting loo for years before they became readily available. I’d have one at home if I could. 💩💩

    So your saying you can bury your waste from ogo, but some people frown on burying waste from conventional toilet, I've seen plenty do it without any problems, each to their own , whatever works at the time i suppose, cheers

      @Thehangertribe  21 день тому

      If you mean burying waste from a chemical toilet then yeah you wouldn’t catch me doing that due to the chemicals. as for composting toilets I believe it’s fine to bury as it’s all natural and will break down. Thanks for watching means a lot 🤙🏻
