Anyone using a cassette toilet in their B?

We have used porta potys for over 40 years of camping and always thought a cassette toilet would be a nice upgrade. But on our used B it had a recirculating toilet which kind is the worst of all worlds and I ripped it out. Though briefly about a cassette but decided on a high end porta potty mostly for the freedom to change my mind on where we install it as we make mods and it can be used in the house if it became necessary. Never wanted to mess with stinky slinks and finding a dump station.

Jim,

My 1997 Xplorer 230XL has Thetford's recirculating toilet. Is that what you had? I have never found it bad, but with it's small volume, will take about 3 gallons, it needs dumped frequently. It's a pain to find & use a dump site. I've been thinking about replacing it with a cassette type. I know it would probably have less capacity, but be a heck of a lot easier to empty.

Yea, I think that was the brand. Besides sounding like a bad idea it was located in a spot that if you were over 5'4" and 120lbs you would have to work real hard to use which might be hard to do if you had to go bad.

I definitely didn't want to carry a dump tube and find a spot to dump with such a small capacity. The porta-potty we put in has a 5.3gal holding tank and 3.2 gal of fresh water for flushing.
