Good video! But small point of correction: the Trekker can be run from a 12v source. I believe it is also available with an optional battery. Another advantage of the Wrappon is that the "deposit" can be immediately disposed since it is dispensed in individual bags it doesn't have to be stored in the vehicle, thus there is zero chance of any odor.
Nature's Head Marine toilet uses NO water, no bags, needs 12v to run exhaust fan(built in by manufacturer), only requires plain old peat moss, has a separate urine collection bucket. I put used pee paper in a separate bag to burn later. Costs $1195.00 for basic toilet. I ordered an extra urine bucket, so I always have a clean one on stand by. Also ordered an extra rotary handle. When the poop and paper side has thoroughly mixed with the peat moss, it can be dumped on the ground as it's sterile. It's in a drawer that pulls out for emptying. The urine can be dumped anywhere. Mine is bolted to a flat board for stability. Mounting hardware/screws included. I purchased it for camping and for my home in case it has no power or water, I can still have a sanitary place to toilet.
There are no circumstances under which the the contents of a composting toilet are sterile. It takes the right combination of time (measured in months) and environmental conditions to degrade human waste to the point in which it is safe to use (or dispose of by scattering on the ground) as you described. There are plenty of YT videos on homesteading that detail best practices for creating compost from a toilet. The process undergone in a Natures Head type toilet is not sufficient to create true compost. Irresponsible dumping of human waste, including urine, damages the reputation of the vehicle dwelling community and public sentiment towards us. If you are doing what you described, please stop. To anyone else reading this, please do not emulate.
I was on a yacht delivery a couple years ago with a peat moss toilet. Did not like it one bit. Captain and I eventually just used the head sink for #1 which was direct discharge overboard so we didn't have to interact with that toilet any more than needed. This didn't have an exhaust fan, but had this funky handle to turn the peat moss around.

The problem is that you are adding to landfills with that. Use composting or empty at stations...
