Everyone and every RV is different. My class B's always had 10/12 gallon black tanks and that is a lot of capacity if used properly. When I first started camping in the early 70's we had a Shasta trailer that was not self contained and two children. At that time the "bag system" was a folding toilet with a ring that held the bag, many people used them. We never had a leak or a broken bag and today there are several manufacturers of these that are made specifically for potty use. I never liked the cassettes myself and I witnessed may times how they are just dumped behind the trailers a few yards into the woods. In most situations there are trash receptacle that will accept the bags and if not you put them in another bucket with a sealed lid until you find a place, you can't save a full cassette unless you have a spare. Some of them are so small that your face is only a couple feet away from the drain they dump them into. With a black tank system, you can seal the hose with a donut and stand back when you pull the lever then flush it with the gray water. Again, we all have different opinions but if I didn't have a sewage system in my B I would go with the bags and dispose of them in the same manner that everyone does, or should do, with their dogs.
