Pros & Cons of the EVO S

Pros: LOVE IT. In my opinion, it’s Great for a small children or SHORT adults. Doesn’t smell. Lightweight. Great for camping and van life.

Cons: This size Not good for adults with knee issues, or adults that have lower back problems to squat down low. Purchase M or Lg if you have any issues.

I’m saving for the Medium size, due to bad knees im unable too use mine. The S is too small for me, so it’s put away for the grandkids visit.

BUT, it’s a great product, I really did love it when I used it. I’ve tried a few other brands, but Trelino so far is the best that I’ve found for my van life getaways. Purchase Trelino toilets for all your restroom needs.

Toilet

I haven’t used it yet but love it.
Great idea of a design!

Love it

This is a game changer for our adventure van. It came with a small cassette toilet & we knew that was not going to work. This toilet is simple & hands down worth every penny. Love, love it.

Stunning solution!

A fantastic product. We bought last minute for a camping trip in a camper topper only. A 1 week trip. My wife approved. Her approval made the trip a success.

I keep extra.

I’m a full time rv traveler ( retired ) and I always try to be extra prepared as I’m not always where I can get packages delivered. I also like a clean environment so I’m so happy for a way to have things on hand I might need later. Thank you for having these available for my emergency parts kit. I’ve never lost one or had one damaged but I do like to replace them occasionally.

It does it I guess

There’s no cover for the poo bin and the pee bottle seems like it was deliberately designed to be difficult to drain. Also the little silicone gasket that fits in the pee bottle lid falls into the pee all the time because the seal is bad, so that’s not fun to fish out. All in all I’m pretty disappointed, but hey, I spent all that money on it so I guess I have to make it work.

like how it looks

I haven't used it. Plan on that happening in a few months. On the trips we taken recently, we've had camp grounds with vault toilets

Height matters. Lol

It has been a game changer in my vanlife. I only wish I would have bought the taller one. Thanks 😁

How you clean the blue canister perfectli?
All the best Gabriella

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. For cleaning the canister, we suggest using a vinegar or citric acid solution. Having too much water in the solution or cleaning with just water would lead to urine scale build up and smells. If you're noticing this issue, then you can adjust your cleaning solution to be more concentrated with the vinegar or citric acid. If you have any other questions, just reach out to us at hello@mytrelino.com and our support would be happy to help!

Great set up

Been using the basic bucket set up which is fine but I really like the Trelino for many reasons. It’s more compact, has all the parts inside one box. It’s square…I know it seems funny but I like everything to fit corner to corner. I always worry about overflowing the pee bucket so I end up dumping it before even half full but it’ll hold more than I thought! Very easy to manage. It’s been very clean and easy to use. I’m an older woman but had a tiny visitor who, as they say, “blew it up” and it was still very quick and easy to clean. I’ve had zero problems with smells at all, and I like the lid closes over the edges.

Unobtrusive

Works as described. Sensible engineering. Thank you!

Compact, Simple, Clean convenient

I'm using my small Trelino in my cargo van as an on the road or in the camp toilet. I was using a bucket toilet with a non integrated urine sparater that I had to screw to a toilet seat and cut out the rim of the bucket to make it work. The trelino is integrated well, is small, and convenient. Much better than my bucket DIY. I am considering getting a larger one from my 26ft trailerable sailboar. Might I suggest you look to expanding your design to consruct a watertight sewage bucket for whitewater rafting wilderness trips. The current designs do not include a uring separator which would be a good addition.

Evo L Review

We purchased the Trelino Evo L for use in our camper van after doing a lot of research. The Evo S would have fit better, but we wanted more volume so we wouldn't have to dump/dispose of waste so often. I agree with many of the reviews that the price for this toilet is a bit much. Our cassette toilet had at least the same build quality and volume, but was 1/4 of the price. The Evo L is fairly comfortable to use and when not in use as a toilet we use it as an extra seat in the van.There is no odor from the toilet with the lid closed. There is an odor from the pee container when the lid is open, but we have controlled it fairly well using a vinegar/water spray after each use and adding a cup or two of vinegar to the empty container after each emptying. We are still experimenting to find the best solution. We have emptied the container after a maximum of 4 days of use and probably could have gone 1 more day. We use sawdust to cover the poop and there is virtually no smell. We have gone about 5 days before disposing of the bag that came with the toilet. Overall we are pleased with the purchase, except for the steep cost, and would recommend it to our friends.

I love that I don’t have to empty my Trelino everyday like I did for my toilet bucket, or but RV chemicals for it.

So stylish, light, easy to set up use and clean. Absolutely worth the $!

Great toilet

Perfect upgrade for our rv
Finally solution por the black tank

Quality product.

Quality product.

Back up membrane closure

First of all all, since purchasing and using the compost toilet, it fulfills all my uses and is very comfortable in my RV. I was originally concerned regarding smell but there has been none. The company has been very communicative with my re-ordering the membrane. This product and the customer service is very good.

Now a big Fan!

Been using a cassette toilet for 2 years. Mainly for #1/ liquid and it has been horrible to empty and clean. I used the trelino for the first time on a ten day trip and have to say it is a game changer. I even reccomended it to some of my van friends and they are going to get one too!

Nice addition to our Van Camper

Takes a few times to get the hang of where to sit (either forward or back) but then works great. Still experimenting with what type of media to use for #2. We go through quite a large amount of media in a day for two people in order to control odor. Still notice a bit of funky odor from #2 so we dispose of daily. Overall happy with the Trelino. Customer Service was excellent!
