Excellent video mate, really clear and loads of information. I'm fitting exactly the same toilet in our van conversion. We have both agreed like you to only use it for no1s and I didn't know about the yellow button 😊 well done!
Great to see you in this channel, I think between your thermal engineering and Jaz's Electric expertise you both have the best van building series on the web.
Just FYI, I lived in an RV for years and I know for a fact that RVers jam that short hose at the dump station up the tube that held their solid waste, to help clean out the tube. I mention this because it’s riddled with bacteria and I was really surprised you just grabbed the hose end bare handed. I guess I just want to stress that even if your system is nicely contained, other peoples are not.....so yeah....please folks, wear gloves and/or wash your hands.
Glad that you you werent too shy to share the not-so-pretty details. Lol. We're putting in a cassette toilet so this was a much appreciated vlog. From BC Canada. 😉
Your vids rule Jaz. Watched before from start, now revisiting for van build. I'm thinking something like a simploo composting toilet. Your honesty & humility are what makes them so valuable. Thanks dude
Hi Jaz, very informative but I think a composting toilet is the way to go, it's the urine mixed with solids that causes the smell, composting toilets keeps it seperate, safe travels 😀🇬🇧
Hi Jazz, I’ve just fitted a Sog unit in my loo. Not used it yet but most reviews are in favour. No smell. No chemicals needed. Empty in any loo etc. Will let you know how it goes. 👍👍
Fortunately number 2's is a once a day job for most people but number 1's???? Thanks Jaz for your vids! Learning a lot......Can't wait to get my van life started!
Nice and informative thanks! I’ve been in a van for a couple of years with the same type Thetford cassette, very easy to “use”! Couple of hints, i always give mine a rinse out st the dump point, gets rid of tissue residues which can jam things up. I also keep a bottle of hand sanitizer gel inside the cassette enclosure, handy for a final hand clean before touching anything else!
Hate those toilets. That's why i have a separett compost toilet which seperates the no1 en 2's. its ventilated so no smells at all and no need for any other toilets. The no 1's go in a 130 liter wastetank with al the other wastefluids the greytank and you can dump it everywhere. The no 2's dry out and you throw them away or sell it :)
ruclips.net/video/gQDvGfXC-UM/видео.html There is not only separett but also other fabricators as Naturehead and others. The thing with the no 2 is that its only smelling because of the no 1 mixed with it. If it isnt mixed it does not smell. It's like the same thing with a flushing toilet you smell at first off course (depends on every persons smell i gues :) ) but as soon as the lid closes the smell is gone
It was easy and affordable at the time, and I didn't really know much about composting toilets at all, but they might be an even better option from what everyone is saying
We did 1's and 2's in our cassette toilet and had no smell problems. Sure it was a bit 'lumpy' when emptying but it was amazing how quickly most of the stuff had broken down. And yes I rinsed it out after emptying and used gloves as well and then gave my hands a good wash. I think if you're gonna have a toilet you may as well use it - having to wait until you find a public toilet sounds like a pain - literally - and takes away some of your freedom.
The trouble is trying to empty one of those toilets , in our country you would have to live in a camp site as they like to shut all the outside toilets except in a shopping centre & you can't go with your cassette in one of those to empty your bog ..lol..
@@JaznLori It's called the UK , i live in Bolton near Manchester ..lol....there is a good place near Blackpool though that have a bog emptying place & you can actually camp there free but on the road !!
Cassette or Composit...This is what I'm contemplating........???? It would be so good to have a pipe from the dunny to the ground and let nature deal with it....I know you cant do that.....
Yep TWJ but now you might be worried about all the work you already did and the holes it made but maybe you can still use the tank of the flushtoilet and keep the rest separated in another dry toilet ;) Perhaps it's even possible to make your own toilet where the tank is hidden in. Just an idea. Afterall all you need is a, preferable ventilated, bucket :)
What's a 'number one'??? It's called a number two because it rhymes with poo, so a pee is a number three. This is a very important point, it's vital you get this right to avoid confusion. Utterly important.
Dear Jaz, A shitty business that we all have to address; would a macerator connected to said throne & provided one travels to some agricultural areas, one could in theory fertilise the local flora!!!. A very instructive video; what might have been good to know is the different systems available for motor homes & how they operate.. Keep up the good work my old fruit. Kind regards.
Thanks yeah that would be possible haha, I am not familiar with anything else since I haven't used it so I stick to what I have and know, but compost toilets and SOG systems sound pretty good too, maybe something for the future
Dear Jaz, Thank you very much for your courteous reply. As & when you either come across & or decide to investigate other systems & want to cover them, that would be equally informative & give an informed viewpoint. Very well done. Kind regards.
Hello huy, I'm come from vietnamese,I'm still building a card like you but i can't buy toilet, windows on top the car, windows outside to take waste box, bathroom floor in my country. So can i buy them from inter net ???
Dumping in a public toilet is disgusting, use WikiCamps to find a dump point in the town you’re in, there’s one in nearly every one. You can also get a second cassette to last between finding dump points.
PzTiger _ I store mine in a plastic tub with a lid that I can seal up, keep it in the back of my car, I don’t use it often, but it’s there if I get stuck. I tow a caravan/trailer.
I can see your view but I was showing the reality of it. It is disgusting if people are careless and make a mess yes, but I make sure not too, there is only chemically treated urine going into the toilet anyway, a public toilet gets a lot worse than that from every other user.. I often leave the toilet cleaner than I found it.
Someone needs to invent like a poo bazooka. So you would take a dump in some kind of compartment and then the next time you are driving along you press a button and like boom, the whole lot gets fired out through a cannon on the top of the van. Problem solved.
ewww 8:27 and 5:37 0mg please dont touch your hair or anything else right after handling your dump container without washing yournhands first pleaseeeee

Greg Virgoe - definitely agree with Karl Bartlett.
Yeah I’ve been watching Jaz build from the start. Very competent guy and great van.
Thank you Tami, that's really nice of you. 😀
Thanks mate appreciate it ;) the yellow button is a great idea saves you from having to open the main hatch a little bit.
Just FYI, I lived in an RV for years and I know for a fact that RVers jam that short hose at the dump station up the tube that held their solid waste, to help clean out the tube.

Thanks mate good tip haha lucky I washed my hands after
Glad that you you werent too shy to share the not-so-pretty details. Lol. We're putting in a cassette toilet so this was a much appreciated vlog. From BC Canada. 😉
Cassette toilets are good when you don't use them long time. For hollidays or so but to live with it al the time is horror.
Thanks yeah it was a little weird but whatever I'd rather show the realities of the vanlife haha
Your vids rule Jaz. Watched before from start, now revisiting for van build. I'm thinking something like a simploo composting toilet. Your honesty & humility are what makes them so valuable. Thanks dude
Hi Jaz, very informative but I think a composting toilet is the way to go, it's the urine mixed with solids that causes the smell, composting toilets keeps it seperate, safe travels 😀🇬🇧
This seems like the go from what I keep reading, I'll have to do more research on it, thanks a lot !
Hi Jazz,
I’ve just fitted a Sog unit in my loo. Not used it yet but most reviews are in favour. No smell. No chemicals needed. Empty in any loo etc. Will let you know how it goes. 👍👍
Thanks a lot ive heard of these, maybe its the way to go
Fortunately number 2's is a once a day job for most people but number 1's???? Thanks Jaz for your vids! Learning a lot......Can't wait to get my van life started!
Yeah once a day but number 1's probably 4 or 5 times a day depending on how much water you drink, i like to keep hydrated haha
Thank you so much of this video! Kind of you!
Great explanation buddy 👍
thanks for such an informative video, i love camper van but always wondered where the waste would go.. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Super helpful Jaz. Thank you!!
No worries Orren glad you enjoyed!
Nice movie! Also the yellow button! did not know it ;-)
Thanks Erik appreciate it

beautiful!
Thanks Tasha super appreciated :)
Thanks Jaz, that's good info n sharing
My pleasure!!
Very good explanation!
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed
Nice video...I want to build one in the next two years
Hiya Pal,
Nicely done with the video Mate
Thanks A lot super glad you liked it:)

Oh lord, interesting...... could you tell me more? I'm just about to embark on a van build adventure and I need all the advise I can get...thanks
All is said i think. You can google on compost toilet. Good luck!
ruclips.net/video/gQDvGfXC-UM/видео.html There is not only separett but also other fabricators as Naturehead and others.

LordOneHoop best toilet system out there bar none. Easy, simple, clean.
Interesting I will have to look more into the composting toilets
Thanks Jaz. Good question raised around the use of a composting toilet.. why did you make the choice you did?
It was easy and affordable at the time, and I didn't really know much about composting toilets at all, but they might be an even better option from what everyone is saying

I think if you're gonna have a toilet you may as well use it - having to wait until you find a public toilet sounds like a pain - literally - and takes away some of your freedom.
Thats interesting what chemicals were you using? I know what you're saying man, if there was no smell I would be doing it too
Great video cheers!
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed
Don't you rinse out the dump point so it's not nasty for the next person?
I meant to do that but was to focused in the moment on making the video
Please tell me the name of that toilet please
The trouble is trying to empty one of those toilets , in our country you would have to live in a camp site as they like to shut all the outside toilets except in a shopping centre & you can't go with your cassette in one of those to empty your bog ..lol..
Dammit haha what country is that? Australia has an abundance of public toilets
@@JaznLori It's called the UK , i live in Bolton near Manchester ..lol....there is a good place near Blackpool though that have a bog emptying place & you can actually camp there free but on the road !!
Tried a compost toilet? No smell, much longer between emptying
According to a mate who has run one for two years now...
Exactly
Cassette or Composit...This is what I'm contemplating........???? It would be so good to have a pipe from the dunny to the ground and let nature deal with it....I know you cant do that.....
I havent tried a compost but from what I hear they are the best!
Yep TWJ but now you might be worried about all the work you already did and the holes it made but maybe you can still use the tank of the flushtoilet and keep the rest separated in another dry toilet ;) Perhaps it's even possible to make your own toilet where the tank is hidden in. Just an idea. Afterall all you need is a, preferable ventilated, bucket :)
Subscribed 😀
Thanks for sub my friend
yes we are doing a van build and we are definitely having a toilet and shower for sure
Good idea I wouldn't have it any other way
What's a 'number one'??? It's called a number two because it rhymes with poo, so a pee is a number three. This is a very important point, it's vital you get this right to avoid confusion. Utterly important.
number 1 is wee and number 2 is poo ;)

Try using charcoal for the smell!
Proper nasty to clean the cassette out. You'll just create slurry.
5:15 Mate, looks like you need to cut down on the beetroot!
ha thats the satchel insert that breaks down everything and makes it that colour, theres also a blue version as well
Hey mate, how much for the toilet system?
Cheers
I can't remember exactly but it is in my price breakdown on my website on Episode 5
you haven't talk about Boiling system water in ur van ?
I will have to do a video on the hot water system, thank you for the reminder :)
Hello huy, I'm come from vietnamese,I'm still building a card like you but i can't buy toilet, windows on top the car, windows outside to take waste box, bathroom floor in my country. So can i buy them from inter net ???
Yes I'm sure you can buy them from the internet mate, go to Camec's website or CaravanPlus in Australia
Travel With Jaz thanks for your help :D
8:00 Why is it important to flush all the bleach out?
bleach is a very harsh chemical and dont want it to damage the plastic over time
Do you use water or toilet paper
Toilet paper
Thanks it helped (i will bid new toalet ... jaj :D)
Dumping in a public toilet is disgusting, use WikiCamps to find a dump point in the town you’re in, there’s one in nearly every one. You can also get a second cassette to last between finding dump points.
Bella Sheffield where do u store 2nd cassette?
PzTiger _ I store mine in a plastic tub with a lid that I can seal up, keep it in the back of my car, I don’t use it often, but it’s there if I get stuck. I tow a caravan/trailer.
Why exactly is it disgusting, what do you think everybody else thats going in there is doing?
Bella Sheffield thank you

sounds messy
But i poop more than once a day. I wonder if there are other options...
Any comments on smells when dumping?
Just watched this ruclips.net/video/s-Z8DdrtuVo/видео.html
It can be pretty gnarly but just gotta do it, if I could do again I would do a compost toilet
id definitelly be wearing a mask and a dispossable gloves and bleach so i dont get any gross things on my hand
Yeah that's probably a good point thanks!
On my RV I keep a pack of disposable gloves in the compartment so I have them available each time I empty my tanks!
Пожалуйста!!!!Переводите на русский язык ваши видео. Уверен у вас появится много поклонников и подписчиков)(
That would be a good idea, costs a bit of money but probably worth it :)
I would poop in my van.
Nice only on emergencies for us
Your van everything ok , but toilet is no good , it isn’t like Rv
ewww 8:27 and 5:37 0mg please dont touch your hair or anything else right after handling your dump container without washing yournhands first pleaseeeee
Ooohhkay noted thanks!
