Sh*t Matters! Trelino and the toilet revolution!
For anyone living in their van, toilets are a HOT topic! Set ups can be super simple all the way to something really complex and actually its not a ‘one box’ fits all situation, as people have the flexibility to do what works for them. As you may have seen from my previous blog ‘Van Life - The Ultimate Guide’ - which you can read here - we started out by ripping out our chemical toilet for something kinder to the environment but ended up making our own composting toilet (yes it involved a mop bucket! haha) as we were unable to find the right fit. But then, 2 years later we came across Trelino®…… so lets bring you up to speed.
For the past 3 months we’ve been using the Trelino® Evo M • Composting toilet - its comfortable, clean, easy to use and lightweight. Such a joy to finally have a really good toilet set up! And this isn’t just for vans - you can get them in so many sizes and designs that you could take one camping, have one in the shed, or even take it out on a boat!
To kick things off, we took the toilet into the forest for a little photo shoot (I did get a few funny looks! haha) - in all my years of photography - this was my first time photographing a toilet! But wow, it looked awesome in the trees! :)
We were super impressed with it right from the unpacking, and couldn’t wait to get it fitted so post photoshoot, we got straight on with ripping out the old build, giving the bathroom a clean and freshened up the back wall with some white paint, then simply fixed the toilet down to the floor with double sided silicone tape. Where its been firmly fixed and used well for the last 3 months!
After putting in some good use, I can definitely summarise why I love this toilet so much!
Some of the key product highlights:
Easy and convenient to use
Extremely compact

So have some pretty toilet pictures of the Trelino® Evo out in the wild! 🤪
As you can see here, Trelino® also offer many accessories - we went for the poop socks and composting bags! Its super easy to use, just popping the bags in the poop section and the blue urine bottle sits at the front - a super simple set up and so easy to use and empty!
Our bathroom isn’t quite the glamourous setting for a shoot but just to show you - this whole back wall was taken up by our previous set up, and this Evo Medium fit so perfectly in between 2 containers we use to keep the bags in along with toilet rolls, and the sawdust we use for composting. Perfect! (Also my poop socks are pretty ace, right?)
