I am planning on an extended trip this winter with my Tacoma/Fleet shell combo, girlfriend and dog. I am kinda stumped at what I should do for a toilet system for the camper. I have researched the issue fairly heavily and feel like i have a good grasp at the different options out there, but I am always interested to hear more.
My original Idea for the camper, before i planned an extended trip, was to make a seat that folds out from the wall with a cutout in it so that I could use WAG bags. I was going to put it near the back door so it would be out of the way and hardly take up any room. I figured that we would hardly ever use it except in emergencies, so while it wouldn't be the most ideal sitting setup, it would hardly ever get used and would probably do the trick.
Now that we are planning on spending an extended time on the road, I am thinking maybe we need a more ideal solution. Since we picked a pandemic to travel through, we are trying to reduce unnecessary exposures. While not going overboard on things, if we could remove visits to gas station bathrooms a couple times a day that would probably go a long ways with limiting exposures to people.
I see a lot of people like the Thetford, units. I am not very excited about them honestly, worried about smell, but haven't ruled them out completely. I could also use a groover like many use for river trips.
In my research I found a unit called a Wrapppon Green, which was developed for disaster relief in japan. It basically wraps your lunch in a plastic bag with a gel compound and heat seals it, for disposal. Similar to bags or a diaper, it can be thrown away in the trash.
It seems like a pretty slick unit, minus the downside of using a lot of plastic. It would be pretty easy to build the unit into the camper, since the actual that does the sealing is pretty compact. It is pretty expensive, (about 900) and I'm a little worried about sourcing bags for it in the future.
What are all of your thoughts? Anybody have any experience with this unit or think that I am going overboard to try to stay away from people while traveling?
