Thanks for the info.....a couple of observations from many years of using cassettes. In >20 years of remote/off grid/freedom camping, have only needed to bury cassette waste 3 times...by digging deep holes. A second cassette is an excellent investment. Emptying earlier rather than 'stretching' is a good idea. To us, the 2nd cassette means water often becomes the first resupply issue. If you see a dump point in transit...use it. Per dose, the chemical cost are insignificant compared to the other costs we face. On chemicals, the blue formaldehyde types are definitely the most effective in all temperatures for odour control and waste breakdown. The green coloured 'eco' variants are ok but far less as the ambient temps increase. Empty often. We have also used generic 'napisan' type products (sodium perborate should be the only ingredient). Very cheap to use and reasonably effective though tend to need a second dose if storing longer in warm temps. After prolonged use, there was some minor colour change to the cassette plastic, but no other issues. In order to minimise flush water usage, a small water spray bottle is very effective in moving things along. Also effective, is a bowl wipeover with a polish like Mr. Sheen..the one containing silicones provides a very non stick surface. On the need for grey water storage, many (most?) Hip Camp hosts require grey water retention. Also on grey water, even for a quick cuppa break at busy road side rest areas, dropping waste water is not a good look imo. On dumping waste water for our soon to be delivered new van, I am intending to fit a remote controlled motor driven solenoid valve that will allow the grey water to be dropped over a longer distance. I find dumping a 100 litres of, sometimes, whiffy water in one spot can also be problematic where no dump point is available. We continue to enjoy your content....all the best. Grahame.

Thanks Grahame. I'm sure all your info on cassette toilets will be helpful for many who come to the comments for additional info, so we appreciate that. It's an insight and perspective we haven't experienced. Each to their own with grey water. If it's not retained for long (or at all) we don't think it's very offensive at all. We don't stay in many hip camps but can't recall any asking for grey water to be retained. That said, it probably depends on different councils, etc. Thanks again for engaging in the discussion.

Toilets… Just finished 3 months on the road in a small “bed on wheels” van. We have a chemical toilet. The original toilet we had was the smaller cassette version (Thetford). 2 issues - after a day or 2, #2’s would not clear the hatch without some encouragement (not fun!) and we are not as young as we use to be so getting on and off was difficult. For this trip we bought same brand but bigger cassette (taller). Solved both issues. So we did not buy it for increased capacity, just to resolve the above 2 issues. Emptied as frequently as smaller one as it just gets very heavy otherwise. Worked excellently. Flushing volume - not sure of the measurement but I probably put 15l total into the flush tank over the period. The volume used is proportional to how many times you press the plunger. Once is usually ok - maybe twice. Flush before a #2 means less flushing after. Chemicals - $36 for the holding tank chemical in Kununurra. Used 1.5 bottles on the trip. 2 adults and yes, using the provided toilets at the sites or during the day trips makes a huge difference! Great video. I am subscribed and have signed up to newsletter some time ago.

Hey Simon and Liz. I’ve signed up to the newsletter and (long time ago previously) subscribed to your channel. Further to your point of most places not requiring withholding your grey water, I strongly recommend installation of a (PVC/ball valve) diverter valve BEFORE the grey water storage tank. This will allow the water to drain on the ground without all the gunk and muck entering and settling in your tank despite the flow through of having the drain valve open. Works a treat as far as minimising the inevitable smell 🤘

Hi Simon and Liz. I am interested to know if you have to let the composting toilet rest ie not use it for solids before you get a good enough breakdown so your not putting raw sewage in the bin.

The more time you can leave it between using the toilet last and emptying it, the better. There's no requirement to leave it for any set period of time though. We tend to just try and time it with a period of little or no use, such as when other facilities are available.

One other consideration, that we use, is the waterless ‘Separette Tiny’. It looks like a regular toilet, has a 9 litre wee container and a separate poo container, that is easily removable. This has a bag liner, plus an absorbent towel, from Bunnings, made from biodegradable stuff. No need for coconut coir and when ready to empty, just put in a bin, as you would dog poop. A 12v fan vented to the outside, extracts any odour, but we have not had any issues with this. Around $1600.
