There's so many to choose from, but which is the best composting toilet? In this vlog, we'll show you how to install a composting toilet on a narrowboat without the need for drilling ventilation holes in the steelwork, and how a composting toilet works.
We've had a cassette toilet, a pump-out, and we think incinerating toilets (Cinderella toilets) are way too expensive and wasteful with energy, so we've been hunting down the best composting toilet for narrowboat Silver Fox.
In this episode, we'll answer just what is a composting toilet, show you how to disconnect and remove our Thetford C260 Cassette Toilet and install our brand new Compost Toilet from Compoost Toilets in the UK, and a review of our composting toilet.
You can check out our new composting toilet at Compoost's website:

You two are adorable... Great video and you've answered some of the questions I had about composting toilets. I'm working on fitting out an RV for the road and hoping to be able to boondock off grid. That means eliminating all unnecessary water usage - so a flush toilet is out. Composting is the way to go but I have family members who would rather risk going in the woods than using a composting toilet. Sigh... I hope after I share this video with them, they'll feel much better about using one.

These look brilliant especially as you say compared to the cassette toilet. We currently pay £21 for the blue chemical in our motorhome, which only lasts maybe 6 weeks and obviously can’t be that good for the environment. So this is definitely something we will consider. Thanks for sharing 😊

A really informative video. Boat toilets have certainly come a long way in recent years. Our hire boat on the South Oxford last year had a drop through pump out and it was like climbing Ilkley Moor to sit on the thing. A modern macerator type pump out had always been my preferred option should I be in a position to buy but after watching this I'm almost convinced!

Well done lads. Who would've thought that a vlog about poo would actually be interesting and informative? Not me, until I saw this one. Cannot believe how easy it is to dispose of the waste. Now, for the young Shaun, and his aversion to the Elsan process with the cassette, as a lad I grew up in a little country town in South Australia. Would have been in the last 50s. We had an outside toilet, wooden long seat (with attached Red Back spiders) and a big kerosine drum as the catcher. And sometimes telephone books as the paper source. Yep. It got to be my job to take it across to the paddock next door (unused so we were actually doing good for it) and bury it. Ewwwwwww. Sometimes (most times) I was a bit lazy and left it until there wasn't an option but do the dirty deed. Yeeeewwww! So, Shaun, I can completely sympathise with you mate. Been There and Done That! Great video except for the closing seconds. Ewwwww! LOL

We have had a composting toilet on our boat since day one, over 5 years ago. Switched from an Airhead last year as it took so long to clean and now have a Simploo which we are very happy with. The boat originally had a pump out and When we had the survey done before buying the boat, he found that the pipe out of the tank was rotting. Dread to think what would have happened if that rusted through whilst it was being pumped out. Worth the price of the survey for that discovery alone. Had the tank removed and we got loads of extra storage under the dinette. No regrets at all with going down the composting route.

Yeah, it’s been fine. Looks like yours externally but the Pooh tank is a crate with a sliding lid. The bottle has a wide neck so it’s easy to clean inside if it gets a bit crusty. We already had a fan for the Airhead that we reused. This was a hose that went out through the roof and was housed in a solar vent with a rechargeable battery. This means that we don’t need to connect to the boats electrics. We always tell men to sit down when using it, as even if they think they are a good shot there is likely to be some splashes.

Awesome video guys 👍👍 Your new toilet is definitely the way to go !! You presented and demonstrated it really well thank you 🙏. Very informative and FUNNY 😁 I would probably have to change the cassette over after I get the caravan , whether that can actually be done or not and get hold of the right people here for a compost toilet and hopefully they could install it as well. But as you said, you do a lot of research 🧐. I hate feeling like a helpless female lol 😂 but it’s absolutely so frustrating when you can’t do things yourself and it’s difficult 😞 trying to find someone to help you but at least being in a caravan etc this won’t happen as often as owning your own home 🏡. Many thanks 🙏 for sharing 😊💝🌸💖 NZ

@@FoxesAfloat Thank you for your reply guys 👍 After further research 🧐 I have decided to invest in a Cinderella Comfort Incinerator Toilet, a good investment for my last permanent home in a caravan . When it gets to NZ they will fit it with the Incinerator Toilet and also add some extra power points too plus air conditioning. I think 🤔 it’s a good investment considering my back injuries and chronic health issues. I need to make things as easy as I can. This toilet change will reduce a lot of stress and give peace of mind. So no dumping or cleaning, just a small pile of ash in the bin. Very easy . I know it’s hugely expensive but it be worth it in the long run 😁 i have to lead a very quiet simple life spending most of the time at home. Hopefully everything will fall into place. I’m sacred it might backfire on me along the line , I’m trying to cover all my bases. I don’t want to end up homeless, we have a housing crisis in NZ so can’t afford for this to fail. KZfaq has been great 👍 in finding out all the pros and cons of caravan living. I’m better to do it now before I get too decrepit lol 😂 Stay safe 🌸🌻🌷 NZ

This sounds excellent and will be my choice in future. I ordered a Kildwick composting toilet after talking to their representative at Crick however they took a large amount of money from me and never sent the product. They subsequently refused to answer any calls nor responded to any emails etc. I’m hoping a lawyer will be able to get my money back but so far no joy. Coompost products do seem to be very well designed and they appear to be a reliable business unlike Kildwick (who are essentially crooks and apparently have stung other customers). Thanks so much for this review

Hi Guys, great video again, we had the same discission to make 3 years ago, we went with a compost toilet because it looks like a real toilet, we also worried about the smell but we need not have worried no smell, we also use normal compost to add to the toilet but we also add sawdust to aid the liquid to be soaked up so all in all a good choice. Keep up the great videos and well timed cut off on your video.
