I am living off grid full time and recommend a second canister so you can soak one for a deep/ odor removing cleaning while still being able to use the toilet. I keep a second bucket as well, so that I can seal it up when I take it away to dispose of the bag.
To soak the urine container, I recommend dropping a denture cleaning tab or two in and filling it with water to soak for a few hours. Denture cleaner is cheap and is designed to clean plastic dentures from smells and bacteria. Alternatively, you can use baking soda or vinegar with water.
Using the Trelino Evo S as my full time toilet has been easy, comfortable, and clean. Getting the spare containers has made it even easier and cleaner.
We weren't sure how much use it'd get but we needed a portable toilet for our cross country trip and you know what? It gets used daily and is so easy to maintain. Highly recommended!
My second compost model, well made, German craftsmen ship, easy 5 star rating!
This toilet has transformed our travel in the van. No more chemical smell or looking for a place to dump the cassette. We love the design and functionality. Great product!
We don’t compost, but we do use a small sprayer of watered down vinegar. Number 2 gets taken out right away. Very happy with how strong it is as everything needs to be double duty so it’s also an extra seat and leg rest!
Trelino made our camping trip(s) much more comfortable and sanitary! It was easy to use and clean. Thanks!
I need a different part. Apparently you don’t sell the connector piece separately.
Purchased this to take the edge off camping. Meets our sense of aesthetics, multiple uses for it besides the obvious. Easy to clean. Could only be better if there were some handles to make moving it around easier. Well done.
ok so the toilet is great I would just make it easier to pour out the urine it is kind of hard to fully the empty the receptacle but I love the design with the urine diverter just the receptacle if it had a spout to pour it out to fully empty would make it easier to clean but great design otherwise and easy to sit on and get off! and that says a lot I have a back injury!
I had an issue with the delivery of our toilet -- having nothing to do with Trelino. The customer support team was super responsive and solved it right away. The quality of the product is excellent, just what we needed. Thanks!
We think the Urinometer is definitely worth the money, and takes all the guess work out of maintaining the toilet
I wish I had two of these newly redesigned bottles instead of the 2 old bottles that don't empty easily or completely. This redesigned bottle is superior.
Used it in our home for a week to try it out before putting it in our van. Great design
We liked how our Trelino toilet made it easy to convert from a smelly cassette toilet on our camper van. The toilet is compact and sleek looking, it’s easy to use and to empty. In fact, we liked it so much we bought a second Trelino for our sailboat.
The Trelino toilet is way better than the cassette toilet we had been using. No smell, and much easier to maintain. I wish I had bought this sooner.
Pros - Very lightweight and compact, easy to toss in and out of the car for trips. Works. Looks a lot nicer, and a more refined system, than a bucket.
Cons - mostly fyi
- Some parts, like the lid, are so lightweight, it feels like it needs to be handled carefully and/or parts like the hinges may not be durable, but too early to say.
- Be aware the instructions say you cannot use this version (with the lid down) as a seat (and therefore it is presumed you cannot stack loads on top either; as above the lid material feels fragile, but is very light).
- Not that one should be spending much time sitting on this, and again, this is expected tradeoff of lightweight option, but be aware the seat is not exactly comfortable. This is the right version for my needs (e.g. car camping, road trips away from facilities), but if I was buying with the intention of more frequent use and had the space (like a van), I'd go for a different version
- Costly, but "worth it" as long as materials are durable.
Overall construction is of thin plastic. Lightweight but already has a small crack between the seat and main compartment. The separation between poop and urine containers works well for men but is difficult for women to sit on the toilet in a way that easily funnels poop toward the poop side without getting it in the urine side. This has happened to multiple females of all different proportions. The urine container is very difficult to clean. The hole is small and does not allow much ability to clean the container other than a little spray of water and cleaning solution. Overall it works but I’m still looking for a better designed option.
Also I never received the extra set of poop bags that I ordered along with the toilet. They shipped separately. The second package was not delivered and was redirected back to your warehouse. I was never given notification or refund. Overall a low experience.
Hello Ben,
We apologize for your initial experience. If there is a crack, then we would be happy to replace that piece for you! If you would like to send us photos, then we can pass them to our quality control and see which pieces we should send you.
For the separation component, we have just created a new privacy flap that would help with funnelling urine down into the canister while keeping it out of the solids container. We will have it available in the US in July.
We would be happy to send your bags out as well, alternatively, we can issue a refund for them.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience.
Best,
Katie from your Trelino® team
I haven't put it together yet! I'll let you know how it goes.
Mahalo,
