Composting or cassette toilet. Who gas one ?
I am surprised that you almost never see either of these as an option in RVs ! They would save fresh water and save weight by not having a black water tank. For 2 people, a cassette toilet, one th...

Mike Up,
WOW! Are you sloppy or something? We have been using a tall 5 or 5.5 gallon waste tank Thedford Porta Potti now for over 30 years in all our RV's and have never once experienced and "splash back" or drops landing on the floor. Always take the nuts off on the bottom of the plastic or porcelain toilet and remove and plug/cap the fresh water supply tube. Works perfect always and dump in any normal toilet, pit toilet, or if a must in states where it's legal and most are, dig a hole 8+" deep a min of 100 yards from any campsite or private land and save the top soil separate, slowly dump the waste tank and let it drain, then refill the hole and replace the top soil just like it was when you got there. Is even spelled out this very way in many of the state's DNR or Federal Land rules and regulations, Look it up! We use our RV's 12 months a year and we are in Michigan 10 of those months in our area, the U.P., or even in cold Canada. You are in NW Indiana which is only roughly 120 miles south of us.
Why do we prefer the tall Porta Potti? 1. Wife is disabled and with a 4" high plywood platform under the portable toilet it's so much easier for her to use. 2. can use it in winter with cheap windshield washer cleaner which has way below zero antifreeze in it poured into the freshwater tank as it never freezes even in below zero temps when the heat is off and the waste tank full. only possible for it to have some slush if it's in 20 below zero temps for a long time. 3. Allows me to cap with a blade guillotine valve at the end of the sewer outlet and open both tank valves and thus have double the gray water holding.
The tall Porta Potti lasts 2-3 days for 2 of us using it 24/7 before full and 4-6 days if only at night.
So what's really the problem then?
BTW, when selling an RV, just put the still totally new virgin OEM toilet back in and take your gate valve off to use for your next RV. Also, never been refused for emptying our Porta Potti waste tank in any fuel station or restaurant bathroom when eating there and have even had National Park Ranger watch us dumping into a dug hole and approved what we had done. May come as a surprise to you that all the animals do NOT use toilets as they go right on the surface of the ground anywhere and guess where the fish do theirs or the birds?
Geesh!
