What is Vanlife?

Whether you're converting a van or school bus, cruising in an RV, chilling in a campervan, or boondocking in a mobile home, the essence of vanlife remains the same: the pursuit of freedom and the love for adventure.

However, living in a small, mobile space presents unique challenges. Much like living on a boat (another type of mobile home!), you must ensure everything stays in place. This is especially important when tackling bumpy roads since no one wants anything to spill or topple over!

One essential component of living comfortably – and happily – in a van is a modern and easy-to-manage toilet. This is where Cuddy, the composting toilet, comes in! This eco-friendly toilet option is perfect for living off the grid and on the road since Cuddy requires no water, minimal maintenance, and is odor-free!

In the video, CompoCloset cofounder Richard shows a quick and straightforward way to secure Cuddy in your van. Richard demonstrates how to anchor the composting toilet using just three screw holes in the base. This method is easy, efficient and ensures your composting toilet remains in place, no matter where your adventures take you.

The process is as simple as follows:

1. Screw hole placement - The base of Cuddy features three screw holes. These holes are strategically placed to provide stability for your composting toilet during transit. The fact that Cuddy’s liquids bottle and the solid bin are removable makes the installation process even easier.
2. Screw it down - Once you've identified the correct placement for your composting toilet, it's time to secure Cuddy. With a simple twist, you can screw the entire chassis down, ensuring it stays in place no matter how bumpy the ride.
3. Peace of mind - After securing Cuddy in place, you can rest easy, knowing that your composting toilet won't move an inch, even when navigating winding roads or heading off the beaten path.

Your vanlife experience just got a whole lot more comfortable and hassle-free!
