Camper Van with Toilet Space: A Comfortable Camping Set-Up

When it comes to vanlife, having a toilet can be a luxury that enhances your camping experience. Traveling in a small camper doesn’t mean compromising on hygiene. While public restrooms are available along the way, those seeking ultimate comfort will appreciate the portable toilet space included in Roadloft’s minivan kit. It is a reliable, and proven solution for life on the road.

Key Benefits of a Camper Van with a Toilet

When traveling off-grid or embarking on long-term road trips, having your own toilet can be a relief. It provides privacy, independence, and added convenience wherever you go. 

Roadloft’s minivan kit is thoughtfully designed with a dedicated toilet space at the end of the bed, allowing you to use it discreetly without disturbing your sleeping buddy during the night. 

Here are the key benefits of having a camper van with a toilet: 

Increased Comfort

No more relying on public restrooms while traveling. With a portable toilet, you can enjoy the privacy of your own vehicle. Plus, you won’t have to step outside in the middle of the night when nature calls! 

more freedom

Camp in remote locations without worrying about restroom access. While the old-school camping shovel method is an option, having a portable toilet in your vehicle means no searching for a bush or dealing with unexpected wildlife. Enjoy privacy, convenience, and a stress-free experience on the road. 

Best toilet for small camper

Here are the two most appreciated types of portable toilets by the members of the Roadloft community. 

Portable toilet

Cassette toilet

A cassette toilet is a type of portable toilet that features a removable waste-holding tank, making it easy to empty and maintain. We recommend the Dometic portable toilet for its compact and durable design that fits seamlessly into Roadloft’s minivan kit at the end of the bed. This portable toilet is: 

  • Comfortable: Features an adult-sized seat and lid. 
  • Secure: Side latches lock firmly for added stability. Includes a locking lid for safe travel and a tank level indicator. 
  • Easy to use: Pressurized push-button flush and an autonomous water tank. 
  • Economical: Uses less than 1 pint (0.4 L) of water per flush. 

With multiple models available in different sizes, there’s a perfect option for everyone! Check out the product page for more information.

Single-use bag toilets

A single-use bag toilet is an ultra-compact, portable option that takes up even less space than a cassette model. It uses disposable waste bags that can be safely discarded in regular waste bins after use, providing a hygienic and hassle-free solution. 

Smell-Free Camper Van Toilet

Having a toilet in a conversion kit might seem unconventional, but Roadloft’s minivan kit is designed with simplicity in mind. The toilet space is strategically placed at the end of the bed for optimal comfort and efficiency. Based on feedback from our clients, here are a few handy tips for maintaining a smell-free camper zone: 

pee only!

We highly recommend using the portable toilet for liquid waste only. 😉 For anything more substantial, opt for public restrooms or a shovel.

litter

When you have a single-use bag toilet, a simple solution for controlling odors is to place a bag of litter in your toilet. It helps neutralize smells. Simply dispose of the bag once a day, and no one will ever suspect you have a toilet in your vehicle! 

sprays

Sprays such as Poo-Pourri help to eliminate bathroom smells and do not stain or harm the toilet casing. Any spray or candle can help maintain a pleasant fragrance in your camper, ensuring a comfortable environment wherever you go. 

biocides

Consider using biocide-based liquids or capsules to wash your toilet bin. Biocides are effective at preventing bacteria growth, which eliminates unpleasant odors.

For a completely odor-free camper van experience, a camping shower cabin is an excellent solution. Not only does it provide privacy for showering, but it also serves as an enclosed space for your portable toilet. Simply set it up outside your vehicle to create a separate sanitation area. This setup keeps unwanted smells out of your living space and ensures a fresh journey on the road! 

5 places to go to the bathroom on the road without a portable toilet

While having a portable toilet in your camper van is a convenient luxury that enhances comfort, it’s not always a necessity. There are plenty of places where you can use a restroom, even when camping on free grounds. Here are 5 places to go to the bathroom while on the road: 

  • Restaurants 
  • Service stations 
  • Information center 
  • Rest areas 
  • National Parks
