Toilet Options
Let’s Talk Toilets: Choosing the Right Setup for Your Tiger Adventure Vehicle
When people think about building an overlanding RV, they usually focus on the exciting parts—power systems, off-road capability, layouts, and where theyʼll go first. But thereʼs one detail that quietly shapes day-to-day comfort more than most are willing to admit: the toilet.
With Tiger Adventure Vehicles, even this often-overlooked component is fully customizable. And when youʼre miles from the nearest campground or tucked deep into the backcountry, having the right setup makes a real difference.
The goal isnʼt to force a single solution—itʼs to match the system to how you actually travel.
Cassette Toilet (Standard Option)
The cassette toilet is a popular choice for good reason. With a 5-gallon capacity, it offers a straightforward, low-maintenance solution that works well for a wide range of travelers.
Because the cassette can be removed and dumped almost anywhere, thereʼs no need to hunt down a traditional RV dump station. Itʼs simple, familiar, and practical —especially for travelers who move frequently and want minimal fuss.
Best for: Flexible travel styles, quick stops, and straightforward maintenance.
Composting Toilet
For longer off-grid trips, many owners lean toward a composting toilet. These systems separate liquids and solids, significantly reducing odor and water usage. With proper use, theyʼre clean, efficient, and well-suited for extended time away from services.
They also offer more flexibility when it comes to waste disposal—something that matters when campgrounds and dump stations arenʼt part of the plan.
Best for: Extended off-grid travel and owners who value low water use and longer intervals between emptying.
Portable / Bag System
Some travelers prefer to keep things as lightweight and flexible as possible. A portable or bag-based system uses no water, produces very little odor, and can be easily moved outside the wet bath when not in use.
That ability to temporarily remove the system can open up extra space in the shower—an underrated benefit in a compact, thoughtfully designed interior.
Best for: Minimalists, short trips, or anyone prioritizing flexibility and simplicity.
No Toilet at All
Yes, this is a real option.
If your travel style revolves around campgrounds, public lands with facilities, or bath houses, skipping the toilet entirely can make sense. Removing it frees up additional shower space and simplifies the interior even further.
For some owners, less equipment means more comfort.
Best for: Campground-focused travel and those who prefer public restrooms.
Built Around How You Travel
Thereʼs no “correctˮ toilet option—only the one that fits your habits, routes, and comfort level. Thatʼs the core philosophy behind every Tiger build. Instead of forcing owners to adapt to the vehicle, the vehicle adapts to them.
From power systems to suspension—and yes, even toilets—every choice is about making life on the road easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
Because when youʼre deep in the backcountry, itʼs often the small, practical decisions that make the biggest difference.
