We do the same thing with the porta-potti in our Sprinter van. Fill the flush tank with windshield washer fluid and it can stay in the van regardless of how cold it gets.
I'm a fan of cassette toilets, and wish Escape had gone that route instead of a composting toilet. Cassette toilets are much more practical than a compositing toilet for a mobile camper.

For true boondocking where there are no facilities, you can always use a portable black tank to extend your stay.

That is one real nice tote . We have a small smart tote for years but I need to replace and this looks like a very strong and think we will replace with this one . Pat

All cassette toilet lovers, please email sales@escapetrailer.com and request they add a Cassette Toilet as an option. I'm holding out hope that enough people will voice support of cassettes that it will be an option in 2022 (when I'm picking up my trailer)... or that Escape will have at least spent the time to confirm that a cassette toilet CAN be installed post delivery so I can plan for that from the beginning and leave off the black tank.
As a family of 4, we've been using a cassette toilet in our Class B for three years and LOVE it! It's so easy, clean, and versatile! We love being free of sewer hoses and dump stations!

If I did not have a sanidump at home, I would have liked a Cassette Toilet as well.
I would think the lower half of the different shower stalls would have to be redesigned which means a few costly moulds.

I was going to ask, "can I dump my cassette tank in your toilet"?

It might not. It could mean only cuts to the current insert.

We dump our Sprinter's porta-pottie at rest stops, campground restrooms, pit toilets, RED HEAD portable toilets, etc.

Rarely, and when we did it was on a pit toilet.
