I have been trying to find a toilet solution for long term overlanding.
My wife and I spent 17 months traveling through Mexico and Central America. During this trip we mostly dug holes or used provided toilets (despite whatever condition they were in) We also carried a Luggable Loo bucket/bag toilet. We weren't big fans of pooing in a plastic bag and leaving it in the local trash pile, so we didn't use it much. We did, however find ourselves in situations where we wanted to camp, but facilities were not offered and digging holes was not an option.
We tried a chemical toilet with a design similar to this http://www.nrs.com/product/73050.02/eco-safe-toilet-system during a 2 month Baja trip, but were not impressed with the detachable "bowel" design nor the difficulty of cleaning the separate parts when a dump-station and ample fresh water are not available.
I am currently thinking that a chemtoilet similar to the one mentioned above, but with a simpler design for use away from dump stations would be our best bet, but I haven't found one yet.
Any suggestions?
