The Boxio guide

Separating toilets

Nice to have you here. If you're thinking about self-sufficiency in a van, there's really no way around our stackable boxes. We at BOXIO are passionate about the outdoors ourselves and started the whole thing out of a clear necessity: We were simply fed up with smelly chemical toilets and bulky solutions that only take up valuable space in the van. So we got together in Rostock and developed the original - the separating toilet in compact Eurobox format.

As experts in mobile sanitary solutions, we share all our knowledge with you in this guide. We'll show you how to make your setup as uncomplicated as possible so that you can concentrate on the essentials: the freedom outside your sliding door.

Regardless of whether you're just converting your first caddy or have been living in a Sprinter for years, we'll explain to you straight away why our BOXIO toilet is so damn easy to use. No water, no nasty chemicals and above all: no stress. We delve deep into the topics of cleaning and disposal and tell you why the separation of solid and liquid is the absolute game changer for your indoor climate in the bus.

In short: we'll turn you into a professional for your own business so that you can be completely self-sufficient wherever it's most beautiful.
