This is the most thorough unboxing toilet video you're gonna find on CZcams, haha. What can I say, I'm excited to have a toilet :)

[@olbird7647]

I was honestly excited to see you unbox your toilet!!😂
I'm a clumsy oaf so definitely want a loo in any vehicle I sleep/live in. I've used chemical loos for many years and they're not as icky to clean as peeps fear.
I'd definitely be happy to use that type of composting loo for 'both'. I can also recommend 'horse pellets'- VERY absorbent and goodat killing any immediate pong!

@@olbird7647 thanks!

[@susans7091]

Will have to go watch the other video! Thanks for the Trelino review. Let us know how you like it:)

[@leilal8053]

Yay....a TOILET 🚻! 😊 Suggestion: Urin SMELLS in the heat! 🥵 If you put about a capful of eco-friendly Lavender-scented fabric softener from the dollar store to the jug after emptying it, it will smell nice. AND, it's more pleasant to empty (which I find GROSS). 😊

“Let me have my toilet; just let me have it” Classic!

👋 😊

[@rawrnr1]

waiting for your new build....

[@HettyHartpreneur]

Today I spilled my cup of coffee in my van 😱 Fortunately, because of your previous video on this topic, I was able to count my blessings right away! 😂

[@cynalexander]

Omg, this comment made me lol, thank you for that.
I’m also glad it was just coffee 😂

[@tobymeade3222]

Very Convenient,but heffty Price!👍🌻🇺🇸🤩

[@Oceangirl326]

They sent me the wrong plug for the urine diverter. Took a while to get the correct one but it came. They had the wrong one listed on their webpage. This is really a nice composting toilet. Lightweight and easy to assemble. Mine is taller than yours as your knees are a lot younger than mine. 🤓

[@cynalexander]

Haha, mine is a little squat, but I like its low profile.

[@Oceangirl326]

I have one - Evo L. Really well thought out. I use horse bedding pellets from Tractor Supply. 40# for $8. Much cheaper and lighter than others. Love mine.

[@cynalexander]

Thanks for sharing. I love mine. Def worth the money.

[@jazziered142]

I have an ongoing list for when I start my van build, and this is my number one choice. I hope you're happy with it. I am going to use pine pellets.

[@cynalexander]

Thanks for watching. I am happy with it, but I’ve only used it for liquids so haven’t had to deal with the solids part. I love it’s low profile, works great as a stool too.

[@jazziered142]

It looks good too. It's not an ugly toilet.

[@jamiewhite665]

I love it, & it makes perfect sense to me!!!

[@cynalexander]

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

[@duvessa2003]

Anyone going to take a cold drink out of your “cooler” is in for a surprise 😮

[@cynalexander]

😆 👋

[@ktk2094]

It looks good however, the urine receptacle doesn't look like you could completely empty it. Im anxious to hear how it all works.

[@cynalexander]

You can completely empty it. It’s so easy. I wanted to use it for a bit before reviewing, but I’ll have a short video coming soon. No spills, no leaks, and so easy to care for!

[@cynalexander]

Thanks for the love :)

[@jamiewhite665]

Oh, does that blue air mattress/bed have foam in it too, or just air. Do you have any info on make etc?

[@cynalexander]

I just added the mattress link to the description. It’s the Thermarest MondoKing 3D sleeping pad. No foam, just air. It’s 3inches thick. I have back issues, and it’s plenty supportive without being too firm for me. It comes with an air sac to inflate it (which might sound hard but is actually easy and goes super fast). I’ve had mine for over two years, still works great and holds air just as well as when brand new.
Hope this helps!

[@jamiewhite665]

Thank you so much!!!
