    Hello and thank you for your detailed and informative reviews. I read your review of the Thetford 365 and the Cleanwaste Go toilets. My question for you is which of the two you would recommend for van life travel going to places which might not have disposal stations very often but want to use it in the van? It sounds as though the Cleanwaste is being recommended more for outdoor car camping rather than incur van camping? I’d be happy to know your thoughts and am happy to have stumbled on your site.

      G’day Michael

      Glad you found the posts useful.

      I know of a few people that use the Cleanwaste in Troopys with no issues. However, you would have to dispose of the bag after every use. It does have low odours but I wouldn’t want to use it more than once in a van. It’ll probably not be the best with odours. If you used this as an option you would go through lots of bags and powder and so it’d be quite expensive. Option if you had space, could be to install a shower style awning on the side of the van that is quick to setup and then it’s external and you have privacy. Lots of people do this here in Aus, not sure what you can get in Europe though. Look into Quick Pitch shower tent.

      Lots of people do use chemical toilets in vans. Probably the better option inside a van. You can get a lot of uses out of it so it’ll just depend on how long you are staying in places that don’t have disposal options. Just remember you’ll need water for the tank. Odours will be fine.

      Personally I’d prefer to get an external ensuite / shower style awning secured to the vehicle. Setup in under a minute and use the Cleanwaste. But I suppose weather in Europe is something to factor in. You can get covers for the top of these so that might be an option.

      Hope that helps.

      Cheers

    Thank you for your explanation of the Cleanwaste Go Anywhere toilet.

    I have a space within my 4WD where I hope this will fit. Can you please give me exact dimensions for a space that will accommodate the unit when fully closed, including any extrusions that may be an issue for me.
    Your advice will be very much appreciate.

    I really like this, as I’m looking into eco camping. But I am curious on the information from the EPA. Did you email EPA or call?
    Just trying to confirm that it comes under putrescible waste.

      G’day Brooklyn,

      I am going off the manufacturers publicly provided information which states that the EPA’s/EPU’s in all States and Territories of Australia have classified this as putrescible waste. If you want confirmation from your local State’s Envinronmental Protection Agency, it might be best that you contact them directly. This product has been used in Australia for quite some time now and there have not been any reported issues that I am aware of.

      Cheers,

      Peter

    I forgot to mention our camping toilet. It is called Separett. It actually separates pee from poo. We collect our pee using a Black plastic bottle not the hose supplied. I think it is made in Sweden and you can get it from a “Better way to go” website here in Oz. About $140. Check it out.

      Just checked it out mate. That’s a pretty cool toilet. Very different design. Thanks for sharing. I’ll add a link below for anyone that is interested in checking it out. Finding out about a few new toilets from this post.

    Small point. I thought you might like to know. Reckon has a k in it. Your blog is great. It really is the best because it is not driven by gear supplied by businesses and I trust your unbiased opinion. And I’ve got a 76 as well.

      G’day Richard,

      Thanks for letting me know. Hate typos!

      Thanks for the feedback as well. Great to hear mate. We are offered a bit of gear to be perfectly honest. Most we don’t take but some we have if it’s any good. If we ever do write a post on anything that’s been given we will definitely make it obvious. But 99% is paid for! Always wanted this to be an honest site so that everyone reading knows if there are any other interests involved.

      Thanks for reading and the support mate. Love getting these comments. Makes all the hard work putting this stuff together worth it.

      Cheers,

      Peter

    looks like a great product. I use a somewhat similar product that is cheaper but a lot more bulky!

      G’day Dan,

      Yeah I have seen the Thunder Down Under toilet. Love the name haha. These are a good cheap alternative if you have the space. There are a few other options as well. My mate grabbed something similar to the one we have off eBay that cost under $100 that packs away fairly small. They bought that as it was a cheaper toilet but then by the good quality Poo Powder and collection bags.

      Appreciate the feedback mate.

      Cheers,

      Peter
