Didn't use to be able to buy eurostyle cassette toilets over here. Have to use a portopotty. There's a difference.

I know zero about whether you will need tanks or not.
I bought my first AS because it was less than you are looking at spending.

I thought you might find this thread interesting, it covers the rebuild and modification of a 32ft Excella for 7 kids and 2 adults.
Our 1986 32' Excella Rehab -- from rear bedroom to bunkhouse with two bedrooms -- airforums.com

I'm in the middle of tearing mine down to get rid of non-working appliances and remnants of the previous owner. I plan on keeping the tanks; stage 1 will be sealing it up, then get working black tank/toilet. And clear water/pump. The rest of the AS will be wide open for seating or storage.

I had to import mine from UK. Its crazy....Thetford sell the parts here, but not the units; the units they only sell as OEM in the US.

ok, i wasnt aware there was a difference? what exactly?

i saw a video of a euro airstream with the process of emptying the cassette toilet and i though it was clever system. But from what you are saying, portta potty isnt the same....

US RV toilets are attached to water supply, flush like a domestic toilet and waste is collected via a waste gate in a black tank.

Porta Potti have a tank for water supply, manual flush, and waste is collected via a waste gate into a waste tank. Typically the size of the flush tank is sized to match the waste tank so every time you fill up you empty out. The nice thing about Porta Potti is they are totally portable and can be moved (we had a privacy cube inside our trailer for night time, and a privacy tent for day time, giving more space during the day).

Cassette toilets have plumbed water supplies like a regular toilet, flush like a regular toilet, waste is collected via a waste gate into a waste tank like a regular toilet.....the only difference is the waste tank is designed to be pulled from outside (they are a form of SmartTote) and taken to the dump station.

It is more of a continuum from one to the next, but you can see the details on the Thetford Europe website (Thetford Toilets)
