Cassette toilet Retrofit

We are beginning to plan a trip to South America. From the small amount of information I have so far it appears that dump stations appear to be few and far between. Since we will be picking up a used smaller TC for this trip, is it feasible to take out the existing toilet, seal off the black tank and put a cassette system in its place or do I have to go to a porta-potty system?

We had a small MH with cassette toilet on our New Zealand trip and it wasn't that much of a problem, but then again that was only 2 weeks, not 6 months.

    I would go with a cassette toilet. I think you will be hard pressed to find gas stations that will let you run a hose and do you really want to do it all the time. With the cassette you carry the waste tank in- dump, flush and you are done. Better yet put a composting toilet in, not sure I am 100% sold but they sound cool.

    At many of the places we "camped" in South America, using a macerator pump and a hose would have been quite challenging, if not impossible. I would highly recommend the cassette toilet or cassette potty.
