Embarking on RV adventures shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort or convenience, especially when exploring off-grid destinations. That’s why MDC USA opted for the Thetford Cassette Toilet, a standard feature in all their off-road trailers. While we don’t see this in many RVs, it is becoming more of a standard, especially in these overlanding rigs. So, what’s the deal with the cassette toilet?
First….What is it?
A cassette toilet provides a convenient, hassle-free black tank solution. What sets it apart is its connection to a portable black tank, usually holding around 5 gallons of waste. This tank, situated on the exterior of the vehicle behind a holding cabinet, collects waste from the toilet. When it’s time to empty the tank, just pull out the cassette from its compartment and roll it to the nearby dump station for disposal.
Convenience Redefined:
Ditch the complexities of traditional RV toilets. The Thetford Cassette Toilet offers convenience with its user-friendly design and straightforward operation. With the built-in cassette, disposing of waste becomes a simple and efficient task. This ensures a stress-free camping experience even in remote locations.
The Ultimate Space-Saver:
As we all know, space is crucial in any RV, and traditional RV toilets and black tanks can take up square footage and weight. The Thetford Cassette Toilet’s compact design maximizes space within your MDC USA Trailer, providing more room for essential gear and comfortable living quarters.
Minimal Maintenance:
Cleaning and maintaining traditional RV toilets can often feel like a chore. However, with the Thetford Cassette Toilet, upkeep is a breeze. Its detachable waste cassette can be easily removed and emptied at designated dumping stations, minimizing mess, and simplifying the sanitation process.
Portability at its Finest:
The Thetford Cassette Toilet offers unmatched portability no matter where the journey takes you. Its compact size allows you to transport waste to dumping stations with ease, eliminating the need to maneuver the entire rig. Simply detach the cassette tank from its holding station, roll it to the disposal point, empty, and you’re good to go!
The Thetford Cassette Toilet revolutionizes the camping experience for adventurers seeking off-grid getaways. Its convenience, space-saving design, minimal maintenance, and portability make it the ultimate choice for those embarking on adventures in MDC USA Trailers. Say goodbye to the limitations of traditional RV toilets and embrace the freedom and flexibility that comes with the Thetford Cassette Toilet.
Our Final Thoughts + Tutorial
We think cassette toilets are great! They’re an easy-to-use option for many campers. The simplicity is really nice!
- We recommend keeping some water in the cassette toilets holding tank to prepare it for use and to prevent solid body waste from compounding.
- We also recommend using the RV toilet treatment in the holding tank to break down solid matter, toilet paper, and to freshen up the system.
- When your cassette toilet is full, has had a few days of use, or it’s time to break camp and leave…
- Simply pull the cassette/holding tank out of the trailer’s cassette compartment. It self-seals!
- Pull or haul the cassette to the dump station or an appropriate restroom facility
- Turn the dump nozzle to position the nozzle for dumping
- Lift the tank and direct the nozzle at the dump station’s sewer inlet (or at the toilet… don’t hold it very high above the toilet)
- Push the tank’s vacuum relief valve button to allow the contents to freely flow from the tank.
- Turn the nozzle back to its storage position and reinstall the cassette into the trailer. It self-opens for use!
- Put a little water back into the holding tank and add some toilet chemical according to the directions of the chemical of your choosing
- *** Only rinse out your cassette using a rinse hose at a dedicated dump station or in an appropriate restroom facility… likely at your own home.
- Wash your hands… it’s what all the cool kids are doing these days.
Did you know? Most RV-friendly campgrounds will have dump stations that you can use for a nominal fee. Most truck stops do, too! There are several smartphone apps, like SaniDumps®, that help you to locate RV dump station locations.
