Dry Flush?

[SchuHouse]

Hello fellow ‘Streamers.
After taking a few year hiatus from exploring the roads via our airstream we are back. After selling our ‘28 FC Airstream five years ago to explore boating and some international travel we are back to the roads in the US with a soon to be acquired Basecamp 16X this coming October.

Since this is brand new we have an opportunity of breaking in the tanks and keeping the gray/black as only a gray. My concern is capacity of the combo tank and the unpleasant task of visiting a dump station more frequently.
Has anyone modified their Basecamp by removing the toilet and installing a dry flush system? https://dry-flush.com
This is the system used by Happier Campers and appears to have a lot of benefits if you don’t mind the $1 per flush cost.
Here is a great video of it in action...

Thank you all for all the sharing you do as a community.

Well I’m taking the plunge (hopefully not the plunger) and have ordered the
Laveo system

The dealer has never done this install and tried to steer me to the Natures Head composite toilet. That didn’t have the same appeal.
If anyone is interested I could keep the coo up it’s posted. The biggest benefit is we will now have a 24 gallon gray water tank rather than a black/gray tank.

Would love to see a pic of it installed, including how any wiring was run to it. I'm considering a 16BC, but really want to try to fit a composting toilet in the head. A dry flush would be my backup plan.

I have that toilet in my ‘67 Caravel. It works fine with no smell. Expect no more than 10 flushes per cartridge. Have plenty of spares on hand when traveling. I carry cat litter in a small water bottle to add to the toilet if just urine...it helps it “flush” better.

Schu, just wondering how the conversion went, or if you decided against it?

The manufacturer continued with delays due to parts issues. That made me concerned on future viability, since you can only use their bagging system. They offered to give us A full refund which We did...we are now waiting for Nature’s Head compost toilet. Should be here in December. In the mean time we are using the Basecamp only for gray water and using statue campground facilities and WAG bags when necessary.
