How does a cassette toilet flush?

Traditionally, an RV toilet flushes down into the black tank secured to your RV’s underbody. When your black tank is full, you empty the contents at a dump station. A cassette toilet replaces your traditional RV toilet, and instead of the waste going into your black tank, it enters a small, portable waste tank.

Are pop up campers any good?

Although they might seem fragile, these campers are actually really durable. And the maintenance on a small pop-up will probably be less than the maintenance on a travel trailer. Since they’re lighter, you’ll have fewer problems with things like tires, axles, and hitch assemblies.

Can you empty a cassette toilet at home?

How Do I Empty A Cassette Toilet? Emptying a cassette toilet is really easy. Unclip the waste tank from the fresh flushing tank (slightly different on each model but evident once you see one). Unscrew the lid from the drainage pipe on the toilet and empty waste into the drain at the service point.

How does a pop up camper toilet work?

There is a valve blade inside the bowl, which when opened, empties the contents of the bowl into the holding tank below. To use the pop up camper toilet, turn the flush knob several times to fill the bowl with water or open the valve blade, which ever you prefer. At this point, your toilet is ready for use.

What should I use to clean my pop up camper toilet?

Cleaning your pop up camper toilet is actually pretty simple. You’ll want to steer clear of harsh or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the bowl, valve blade, and seal. We usually use a little Dawn dish soap, a sponge, and water, but recently, I discovered a Thetford cleaner I really like.

Where can I find a portable cassette toilet?

This toilet system has been widely used in European RVs for decades. It’s becoming more popular in North America as more Class B RV manufacturers are using them in their camper vans. A popular alternative to the cassette toilet is the portable camping toilet. You can find the portable toilet that we use at Walmart and Amazon.

What to do if your pop up toilet has no drain?

If you have no drain nozzle, your fill spout may be designed to rotate. If that is the case, rotate your fill spout and pour out the excess water. You can then screw the yellow cap back on your fill spout and return it to the original position. Now you need to add chemicals to the holding tank of your cassette toilet.
