So, you just bought an RV, and you’re looking to customize your space. That’s a good move. Because life on the go means every detail matters, including when you … well … gotta go. And out in the nitty gritty, you’ll want a compostable toilet.
Composting toilets are a great addition to your RV, with some key details that are different from your conventional toilet. A composting toilet uses a dry method and utilizes the natural biological method of composting to treat waste, as opposed to having an external holding tank. Liquids and solids are separated, with solids usually employing a dry mix to keep odor away.
But the major benefit: You can stay off the grid longer with it—and it’s a great way to stay environmentally healthy. Whenever your unit is full, you can either use the waste as fertilizer, or you can dispose of it normally. The minor benefit: There’s no water, so you avoid the kiss of Poseidon.
The only real question that remains is which composting toilet is right for you. Here are our top four favorites (if you’re up for a nugget of advice).
