Why are Compost Toilets ideal for RVs?


  1. No Black Tank: Unlike traditional RV toilets, composting toilets do not require black tanks, as waste is contained in a solids bin and a separate liquids bottle.
  2. Save Water: Composting toilets do not use water. They are dry toilets that use organic materials to treat human waste. That means your fresh water tank will last longer for showers, dish-washing and of course for drinking.
  3. Eco-Friendly: Composting toilets eliminate the need for chemicals and water, thus conserving fresh water in RV tanks.
  4. Odor-Free: The separation of liquid and solid waste stops the formation of sewage.
  5. Space Saving: Composting toilets, like the Cuddy and Cuddy Lite, save space by eliminating the need for a black tank and being more compact than traditional toilets.
  6. Off-Grid Friendly: Requiring minimal power and no water, composting toilets are ideal for off-grid RV use, eliminating the need for dump stations.
