I opted not to waste the precious space on a bathroom; instead, I have one of these
Folding potties that I use with Double Doodie bags. Works great, no odors, bags can be discarded in any trash container. Works well for a solo camper -- probably not for a family situation.
The Travato looks amazing, what a cool vehicle.
We don't need to get into a whole toilet thing if you're not interested, but do you find the interior toilet is worth the maintenance / cleanup vs outside / campground pit toilets / etc? There's no good solution to this problem imho...
haha no problem. It's a fact of life.
I wasn't sold on the full bathroom. I could still live with a cassette toilet but hub has a serious sanitation fetish. Having a full, standup shower is amazing, even if we need to keep showers short. A day of dirty mountain biking, and coming home to a hot shower? Yes, please.
As for the toilet part of it, emptying the tanks isn't really a big deal. I would go for cassette toilet but as I said, that's off the table. The big issue I see with cassette toilet without a separate cubicle is privacy.
My friends with a cassette toilet and no cubicle have rules like "no pooping in the van". So - if you are dependent on campground toilets, what do you do when you are boondocking? ( van life term for no facilities, ie primitive FS type camping) Do you a) tell partner to go wait outside while you poop, b) set it up outside, maybe in a little tent? or c) dig a hole or d) wait until you get to a real bathroom? What is the weather is crappy - 40 degree rain, blizzard, whatever. Not having some sort of private bathroom facility is deal breaker for us.
So we like our bathroom. It's in the back so when we are camping primitive and the weather is nice we open the doors for a room with a view. It has heat and a fan. The shower is roomy enough for a guy to stand up in and take a shower. We can set up an outdoor shower. I think pit toilets are gross most of the time. If they are nice and the timing is right, we will use them. We pee outside when primitive camping to save on tank capacity as the tanks aren't huge. If it's raining or cold, damn straight I'm staying in my nice cozy van bathroom. It's very easy to clean as part of the post trip routine.
It's pretty interesting how Winnebago has stayed on trend. They follow all the FB groups and will make changes based on feedback. Some of the design features are really nice. Our only complaint is the clearance loss from the generator. We could do without the generator (needed for AC and microwave) but that's how it comes. We mainly charge the batteries from the solar and driving.
