This is my second trelino toilet. My first one was, the medium sized one. I up sized to the large one, being I live full time in my bus, the extra capacity is a win. Highly recommend, it looks great, blends in and doesn't SCREAM toilet😁
Using the Trelino composting toilet as an emergency set up, and an alternative toilet for an outhouse. Love the separate containers for the waste. The design is modern with the natural wood lid. Customer service is great too! Replies are quick and helpful. Thank you, Trelino!
I keep extra canister with extra "upside down" membrane lid. When one is full, I swap out canisters, and swap lids so that pouring out contents is clean and splash-free, with the upside down membrane lid.
I highly recommend this composting toilet. I've had no problem with odors. I use saw dust and peat moss to cover the feces and it is virtually odor free. Like others I do wish they had an indicator to alert one that it's time to empty the urine, but it's simple enough just to check it from time to time. It's a sturdy, well built toilet and anyone who lives off grid or does a lot of camping will do well with this device.
ill get back to y'all when I finally use it...
i plan to use it by mid September.
So far looks like a great design especially with that separator feature for the liquid.
Thank you for your prompt service and communication of your delivery and feedback,

The pee diverter in way too long, leaving too little space for the droppings bucket at the back. Not sure if it's usable as it is.
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.
