Laveo Dry Flush Toilet for Van Life
Laveo Dry Flush Toilet: A Van Life Review This article was guest written by: Haley Holt, Marketing Director @ Vandoit A campervan sounds like a great idea to travel to your heart’s content, but what happens when the 64 oz lemonade you had with your road trip pretzels is gone? Or when you hit the desolate campground with the most stunning views, but no facilities? There are a lot of options for camper van toilets out there, including the classic ‘dig a hole’ method that many adventures use. I don’t know about you but that method has never seemed so appealing to me. That’s why I love the offering of a fully contained toilet, smell-free toilet like the Laveo Dry Flush Toilet. This toilet is battery operated, smell-free, and optimized for van life. Vandoit chooses to install Laveo dry flush toilets in their conversions, and you might want to, too! Size and Weight of the Laveo Dry Flush Toilet Weighing in at 29 pounds, this toilet is perfect for pulling out when you need it, and storing away when you don’t. Not only is it small, and portable, but it doesn’t require any water. The toilet functions perfectly on a heavy duty slide-out drawer. This slide out drawer is also a modular base option when buying from Vandoit! When properly secured, the slide holds 500+ pounds.
