You still have a black water tank on an RV to divert liquids. This translates to a lot of storage and removes most of the typical black tank issues (except typical prepare for smell abatement) ... especially if you don't want to use the grey tank space, but still dump the grey at designated stations [you just dump all waste tanks together]. Incinerators are great solutions, especially for full-timers (to offset cost) and when your fuel sources already match up well (to offset the power demand).
I have used a composting toilet for years (and have never had a odor problem) and when taking the solid waste bag out of a composting toilet, if there is a noticeable odor, something is wrong. There are only two possibilities when the solids have an odor, either liquid (wee) is getting into the solids (poo) bucket or not enough medium (coir, hemp, wood shaving etc.) is being used to properly cover (which starts the drying process) the solids. If you use a composting toilet correctly, there will be no odor.
In Europe, there are some higher end RV manufactures putting these in :) I don't think it will be long before we see the same here. Some Van conversion companies have already started offering them here.
Agreed 100% Thankfully there are other videos with some footage of the venting. If you reach out to us through the website I can also send you some pictures from recent installs :)
I was going to buy this loo. I've just watched the Vanwives video about their loo and their treatment by this company and I most certainly won't be now.
Oh wow, I just saw the video you are referring to and it sounds like they had a bad experience. We were not aware of this situation as it was handled by the distributor who manages their area. At Incinerating Toilets Inc customer care is held in the highest regard and this is something we take seriously with our own customers and is what we look for when signing on new dealers who will sell the solution. We are proud to stand behind this great solution as Cinderella has been around for over 25 years, and having won awards internationally, being recognized as the number one waterless waste solution. In terms of the maintenance, I would strongly encourage you to read through the manual as it clearly outlines the maintenance steps. They mentioned disconnecting the propane line once a week for the steam clean and this is not the case. Most of our customers, probably close to 85% come from previously owning a composting toilet and find the Cinderella solution to be a nice upgrade in many different areas including reduced maintenance and smell. Hope you find this helpful.
In addition to my comments above, it has come to our attention that the specific toilet you are referring to was installed incorrectly and run for quite a while. The Fresh Air return is crucial to the functionality of the system. Any appliance or machine starved for air will fail prematurely. I believe there was some world travel mixed into their timelines which were left out as well but all that to say, proper installation, use and maintenance is key to enjoying the solution for the long run.
@@incineratingtoilets Is it not better to compost food scraps (rather than human waste) and use it to plant herbs or at least fertilize the environment?
Although the end product is sterile ash and it has good fertilizing qualities for the soil, I would suggest and believe most customers just compost their food scraps separately.

It is still a mess to handle, especially when you have an intense explosive session.
As much as vans and rvs cost these days, this should come standard.

Solid bin on compost toilet doesn't smell and diverting urine into grey water doesn't make it black water, still grey water.
I plan to put one of these in my Skoolie build.
I wish they would have shown it in their RV, and shown the vent pipes on the outside.

I would like to know if you can incinerate food scraps in the toilet.
Of course
Yes, this would not be a problem. Just keep in mind that this will use a little energy and some of the hourly capacity so plan accordingly. 🙂
