What kind of toilet to choose for the RV, please be kind

It is another topic that is likely to cause extreme discomfort to some people, so don’t take your seat on the right number and the pictures and texts have nothing to do with it.

According to statistics, people spend 5 years in the bathroom in their lifetime. The toilet has a very important position no matter at home or in the RV, and the toilet as the core of the toilet is the top priority. How to choose the type of toilet in the RV? This is a matter of conscience and responsibility.

choose

First of all, let’s popularize the types of RV toilets. There are three types of RV toilets: in-line, pull-out, and portable. The difference lies in how to discharge: direct discharge, the black water tank is fixed on the RV, and the discharge can only be done by opening the valve. Pull-out type, the black water tank can be pulled out for dumping. Portable, the toilet can be moved.

How to choose a toilet has become a problem for users and manufacturers.

Manufacturers consider production costs and profits, and how to balance the two needs to be decided by the manufacturers themselves. Look at a piece of data collected by Lao Bai on a certain RV accessories website. (For reference only, not actual transaction price)

The user’s consideration is nothing more than the purchase cost and the use cost, but in practice, it is more inclined to the salesperson’s introduction. The reason is that most RV buyers are RV novices, and how the sales staff can guide them is how to buy.

And look at an example:

In May 2018, at the site of a RV event in Nanjing, a player in the RV circle, the “China Trendy Man” (“Trendy Man” for short), had a quarrel with the staff of a certain manufacturer about what type of toilet should be installed in the RV. The reason is that some RV riders who camped at the event site directly discharged the wastewater in the black water tank to the ground of the camping area. “Trendy people” believed that RV manufacturers should install “cassette toilets” instead of “inline toilets” when manufacturing RVs, while the factory staff at the scene believed that “inline toilets” were more convenient for RV riders. A discussion about how to choose a toilet for a RV detonated the circle of friends.

status quo

With the increase of RVs, this problem is no longer an exception. From time to time, there are scandals of black water drainage when camping. There are 770 RV camps included in the “Practical Handbook for Car Ride Camping” released in 2018, but compared to our land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, this number can obviously be described as scarce. And according to Lao Bai’s superficial experience, most camps do not have the processing capacity of straight toilets. To put it more directly, most of the current domestic RV camps are “fake RV camps”, which are just called “RV camps”, but are actually RV-themed hotels or RV parking lots.

In this way, there are two main emission methods for RVs with in-line toilets: 1. Open the valve and cover your nose. 2. Open the valve and step on the accelerator. You might say that the box toilet also has the phenomenon of dumping! Yes, there are, but at least cassette toilets have the option of emptying into the toilet and away from the rest area.

responsibility

This paragraph is also written for my colleagues to read. I hope that all RV practitioners, including RV media and RV manufacturers, will stop thinking about making money. Some things are more meaningful than making money, such as spreading positive energy.

That’s it, encourage each other.
