Separating toilet in a campervan: dimensions, space and installation
In a campervan, every centimetre counts. Before you choose a model, measure the installation spot carefully. Here is what matters.

Measuring correctly
- Height: from the floor to the underside of the bench seat, cabinet or flap. Allow some clearance above so the lid can open.
- Width and depth: the free floor area. Watch out for wheel arches, pipes and furniture edges.
- Access: you must be able to remove the urine tank and solids container without taking the whole toilet out.
- Use: where will you sit? You need room for your legs and feet in front of the toilet.

Securing it while driving
A separating toilet must be secured against slipping while driving. Some manufacturers offer brackets or mounting kits. Other models are fixed with straps or a suitable frame in the furniture. Check this before you buy.
Ventilation
In the small interior of a campervan, a fan can be useful. However, it needs a 12 V supply and a vent route to the outside, for example through the floor or wall. Many users manage fine without a fan if they empty regularly and use cover material.
