Do You Use a Cassette Toilet

I'll chime in. I have a Northstar truck camper with a cassette toilet. In use you actually sit taller in the saddle. I'm over 6 feet tall and my feet just touch the shower floor insert of the wet bath. Remove the insert and my feet don't touch. Emptying is relatively easy. My only issue is rinsing after dumping. Most bathrooms do not have a spray hose to rinse the tank. I also use more deodorizer than directed and have never had a problem. Winter I use windshield antifreeze in the supply tank and it's good to -40. The only thing to remember is to close the lid before flushing. There is sometimes a 'burp' out of the tank that will cause splash back.

I also have a Northstar with the cassette toilet and have the same comments as above.

One thing I learned is that if you use it at low altitude then move to a higher altitude the tank can become pressurized and become hard to open the cassette valve later. In fact once I could not move the lever until I took a stick and carefully pushed down on the valve enough to release the pressure.....do this carefully!
