    We use a bucket and line it with about 10 to twenty bags, one inside another. Do your business, tie off the first inner bag and push it down (if it’s just wee, add gel powder or kitty litter) and do your next business on top, tie off inner bag number two, push down and repeat until your bucket is fairly full. The tie it all off with the last bag and either bury out bush or put in a rubbish bin/dumpster. It’s basically a homemade, cheaper and more environmentally friendly dry flush

    I've used dry flush for years. Before Use: Add a speck of kitty litter, paper towel, flush once & another speck of kitty litter. Now it's primed. Kitty litter for urine is a must. Urinate multiple times. Just before flushing add more kitty litter and a couple of paper towels. Don't flush unless you do #2. If time has lapsed between use, add a little more kitty litter and about 3/4 cup fresh water. In this case, the Laveo Dry Flush has been used for medical use, on the road, in a Yukon, in a Highlander and in a Class B RV. We are considering adding it to a forest Man Cave with 6 beds. It's a life changing product for our family. I wish there was a better score than A+ because this toilet deserves it.

    I have replaced the regular black tank toilet in our 5th wheel with a separet tiny and it was the best upgrade ever.. the whole family actually loves this toilet better than the toilets at home, as you see nothing, smell nothing.. well except the person having to empty the bag 🤣 but if done right with keeping the lid on until you're actually at the bin to throw the bag, it's pretty straightforward and painless.

    Good one - thank you for this vid! We use dry flush and agree with everything you said except perhaps to emphasize that it's an ongoing expense due the cartridge's. We do use cat-litter for the liquid. With our 6" vent fan open (but not running) in our small shower alcove the cat-litter/liquid can sit for multiple uses (all day) and does not smell in the 7 x 14 trailer space. Like a cat box. 2 of us use a cartridge every 3 days. But other than the squishy feel, there's no smell disposing of the bundle - and it's just a smaller black plastic bag so it's not obvious what you're throwing away :)

    This is one of the better comparison videos I've seen on this subject. Maybe the hybrid between your favorite and the fact that when you put compost in with your solid waste, it definitely mitigates the smell because it absorbs the moisture which is a big part of what's causing the smell. When you use the kitty litter you're just substituting the smell of kitty litter eew and combining it with a small amount of the smell of the waste. So adding hamster shavings, sawdust or the very popular coconut coir absorbs the moisture which is the prime smell causing issue. So use the bag had some absorbing matter that does not smell itself and you avoid dumping the stinky bag and leaving it in a place where other people are exposed to it. Give it a shot I'm pretty sure you'll continue using it. It's worked for me, and I'm a full timer.

    The early Separett Tinys had an issue with the view screen. That was solved, and parts were (are) available to fix it if you have an old one. It works perfectly now. Second, prior to emptying add a few scoops of dry wood shavings or wood pellets. This completely buries the waste, and emptying becomes odor free. You can also add a few shavings after each use, but that has not been necessary in my experience. I might do that in a very hot, humid climate.

    Congrats for having the sh!t on all this man. Im an engineer with a 37ft boat, it has a holding tank toilet with the advantage that all marina facilities have pump out facilities, they work well until you have to fix them. I think the 2 part diverting toilet is best for vans and I like the dry flush idea but it isnt feasible as a product, and can be improved on. So my own thoughts go to the use of garbage bags which are now an international commodity; cheap and accessible, and some can be very thick.
    So now youve got the Separate type separation and lid, with pump out fans, and a boost for while the trap is open. So the problem is this is a bag of poop and emptying that just sucks. If this was a food product, they would create a heat sealed vacuum enclosure of the garbage bag, but they do so with special bagging and unlimited space and electrical requirements.
    All I have to offer is a cable or chain outside throttles the bag closed at the neck. So at the neck the bag is choked, from there the options are a cable tie, or ribbon tie, adhesive tape, or a bag heat sealer seals the bag closed. I tend to think a cable tie or adhesive would work best. You do that one time when the bag is going to be disposed of. If you can make an effective seal, and mechanise that you have it made
    It still presents questions like, whats that like for the environment?, and where do you dump it anyway. I guess I wouldnt have any problem with putting this into a trash bin or compactor, but not everyone feels that way. I am definately open to hearing about these impacts.

Then have the courtesy to double bag your waste as some personnel who empty bins do so manually……. you don’t want the bag busting open on them.

No smells. I found I'm emptying the #2 section more often than expected, but maybe I just... poop a lot. It's a bit gross, but surprisingly unstinky, and if you've made an effort to place the bag properly, handles not all scrunched up etc, then tying the thing up, lifting it up and carrying it out is no big deal at all.

    Loved the video and the suggestion at the end, thanks. There are a bunch of "urine diversion systems" if you google it specially designed for the laveo dry-flush but I haven't tried any, would love to see you do a review, most seem to just attach to the front... Personally, for my own suggestion, I really wish the laveo dry-flush company would make two types of refill packages, the mylar ones right now (1.50$ per flush) and a 2mm/3mm "heavy-duty/construction" garbage bag re-fill version. It'd be 20x (or more) cheaper, putting people at a more reasonable 7c or less per flush. I know all plastic garbage bags leak some odor compared to mylar, and that plastic bags are easier to puncture, but, for the $$$ savings it would be a very popular option I think, and the waste is technically wrapped by two garbage bags anyway, so, likelihood of leaks are low. Lastly, onto my second suggestion, the toilet costs 1000$, they should make it so the waste section is air tight, and that the lids close with a much better air tight seal by default. This would further support a cheaper "plastic instead of mylar" refill container, and, also help a bit for some situations even with mylar bags :).
    > Ideally/hopefully, down the road a company will make a good dry-flush toilet using standard garbage bags, or standard vacuum-seal plastic rolls (for food) as the re-fills, which would be my ideal case, just so I can pick up the re-fills at walmart/etc (and naturally would mean cents per flush, instead of 1.50$) :)

    Here again, I respectfully disagree. We installed a 14 gallon black tank system. It requires finding a dump station (which are everywhere) about once a week, (two people using it) at which time you’re also dumping your gray tank and refilling your fresh tank. Everything disappears into the public sewer system where it belongs. Zero smells. Closest thing to a regular house toilet and for that reason alone, IMO it deserves an honorable spot in the A group.

Also, it’s way easier to keep clean. The plastic of our NH was more porous and seemed to hold onto biological material, which always grossed me out. Since we live on the road, we weren’t able to compost with either toilet, so material simply ended up in a waste bin. At least I’m not having to deal with the coco coir anymore. And I LOVE having a light that warns when the bottle is nearly full. I’m embarrassed to admit how many times we overflowed the bottle on the NH. It’s also a much nicer experience pouring out the Tiny bottle with its dedicated spout. I can’t say enough good things about this toilet. Oh, and we bought one from the “bad batch” and it still works wonderfully for us.

      They told us that too but only because they never heard of it being done and that it would take a lot of battery. We did the math and got it anyway. We also sent them the build video of our van 🤙 We typically flush 3 times overnight along with running our Dometic RTX 2000 ac 10 hours, the fridge (190 liter isotherm) and the water heater in the morning (Bosch 4 gallon). All that puts us down around 50% when we head off for the day. We have a Nations second alternator kit that will recharge the battery in less than 3 hours of driving.

    For the dry flush toilet, you use Pee Powder. Put a teaspoon of it in the bowl and It deodorizes the pee and turns it into a gel. You can pee 3 or 4 times between "flushes" so it extends the use of each cartridge. I use it on a boat with a family. We generally "flush" only 1 or 2 times a day. Of course, the kids go number one when swimming. Always stay upstream from them.

      It's also cool because you can fill the LPG tank once and it will last for at least least (I believe) 2 months. Meaning it's one of the best solutions for being off, and grid for longer times.

    The selection of the toilet is probably the most difficult and critical decisions for ones van build. Choose wrong for your particular situation/priorities and your F’d. Used all these different RV toilets and they all have massive drawbacks compared to a regular house toilet. Black tank system is nice to use but dumping and maintenance is a major pain. Same with Cassette toilets only worse. Composting toilets aren’t a bad way to go except the daily dumping of the urine container which is flat disgusting. Incinerator toilets are impractical and hella expensive to get installed. Despite the liquids issue and expense of the Mylar cassettes the Laveo Dry-Flush toilet was the winner for our needs. We don’t full time in our van so the cassette expense is a moot point. I think your onto something with the hybrid urine diverter idea. Maybe put one of those tray/bowls used for training your cat to crap in your house toilet with a hose attached running to a bottle. Make it and I’ll buy one lol

    The "wish" toilet you asked for well check out tge Wrappon toilet. It allows you to do your biz, then when you hit tge "flush" button it heat seals each "GO" no leak and a seperate seal per go. Best this far other than incinerating toilet. I wish Wrappon made it more Esthetically pleasing. Each sealed part of the continuous plastic material seals and drips into a drawer you can toss out each bag ir bag up several. No odor and much less expensive for the refillable bag material vs the cartridges. The unit itself is double the cost of the dry flush unit. Over time, it is less cost due to the bag refill being much less.

Pine pellets will break down into saw dust when they get wet with urine and they help give it a pine smell. The combo works well and then if you put it into a diaper genie you further won’t get any smell. That basically what the dry flush is, hut with this method you won’t have to worry about the urine. The dry flush would work with it but it’s way over priced. I am looking for a fancy option of the bucket, one with a more comfortable seat that feels like an indoor toilet.
