The Great Toilet Debate: Where's the Loo for the Escapod TOPO2?

When it comes to traveling or living in a compact space like the Escapod TOPO2, the topic of toilets can spark a heated debate. Let’s be honest—when nature calls in the middle of the night, where do you go? Don't worry! We understand the importance of maintaining a comfortable and odor-free environment inside your adventure pod. In this blog post, we'll explore various toilet options that seamlessly integrate with the TOPO2, offering convenience and practicality while on the road.

One of the best ways to ensure a fresh and odor-free living space is by keeping the toilet separate from your sleeping and eating areas. Whether you opt for a dedicated outdoor setup or a portable unit, having a designated space for bathroom needs enhances comfort and hygiene.

For those late-night bathroom visits, the annex room attachment off the TOPO2's awning is a game-changer. Made from waterproof, polycotton ripstop material with a durable 720GSM PVC floor, the annex room serves multiple purposes. Besides functioning as an overnight bathroom, it can also provide:

• A sheltered space during inclement weather
• A changing area
• Extra storage for camping gear

During the day, when you wish to relocate the toilet away from your campsite, a pop-up privacy tent becomes an invaluable companion. Not only does it offer privacy for your bathroom needs, but it can also double as a shower tent when required.

Now, let's explore some specific toilet options that suit the TOPO2's compact design and mobility:

The simplest and most space-efficient option is a 5-gallon bucket equipped with a toilet seat lid and disposable bags like the Luggable Loo. While this option requires more manual handling of waste, the bags can be easily contained within the bucket for later disposal.

• Pros: Affordable, lightweight, easy to store
• Cons: Requires manual waste disposal

If you prefer a more conventional experience, consider a flushable off-grid toilet with a lower canister. This option takes up about the same space as a 5-gallon bucket but offers a more traditional toilet experience. However, you'll need access to a dump station to dispose of the waste, much like a standard RV system.

• Pros: More comfortable and familiar experience
• Cons: Requires access to a dump station

A foldable toilet with a bag strikes a balance between space efficiency and convenience. These toilets are compact, easy to set up, and ideal for on-the-go use. Like the bucket option, the bags must be handled for disposal. A good example of this is a Fold-To-Go Toilet by Reliance.

• Pros: Lightweight, foldable, easy to store
• Cons: Bag disposal required

Selecting the perfect toilet setup for your Escapod TOPO2 can be a challenging task, but with the right considerations, you can find a solution that suits your needs. Whether you prefer the simple bucket method, a flushable unit, or a foldable design, the key is balancing convenience, space, and hygiene.
