Outfitter owners with cassette toilets?

I have an Apex 8 LB with a cassette toilet and a retrofitted SOG fan. The SOG lets you use the cassette without any chemistry.

We used to have an older Lance camper with a black water tank, so I know the difference.

+ dump in any toilet, anywhere. To winterize, remove & clean cassette

- limited "capacity" - about 2 days for 2 adults. You could carry a spare cassette (although I don't know where in our rig). The cassette is somewhat heavy to carry around when full. And it should be rinsed regularly; not everyone likes to do that.

I would not want to go back to the black water tank solution.

There is a known issue with the cold water line that feeds the toilet. It blew on our installation, and on some other members' campers as well. Personally, I believe it was built up back pressure from the water heater. It has not happened since we depressurize the system while the water heater is heating. Obviously this is a primitive fix that you may not like. Someone here on the forum has installed a pressure regulator in the line; you might use the search to find the article.

Terry Rey I believe was the first to install the pressure regulator and I followed suit. Simple install that has worked well.

Interesting about the connection to the hot water heater and the cold water toilet line blowing out. We had our Outfitter built with a cassette toilet and an on-demand water heater in 2009. Maybe the water heater choice spared us the grief of a water line blowing out.

Like everyone else we think the cassette toilet is the only way to "go" :-)
