Bathroom & hygiene

A bathroom of your own in the van, on the campsite or at a festival, with no fixed water connection: BOXIO offers two complementary product lines in Eurobox format for exactly that. The BOXIO TOILET is a urine-diverting toilet that separates solids and liquids at the point of use, with no chemicals at all. The BOXIO WASH delivers running water from a hand pump, with no electricity or fixed connection needed. Both products work on their own or as a set, and share the same dimensions so they stack neatly with the rest of the BOXIO range.

What is a urine-diverting toilet and how does it work?

A urine-diverting toilet separates urine from solids at the point of use, into two separate containers. In the BOXIO TOILET, solids collect in a 5-litre container with a lid, while urine runs into a separate, leak-proof canister. You dispose of solids with a bag in general waste, and empty the liquid down a normal toilet or drain. Because the two stay separate, there's barely any smell, and no chemicals are needed.

BOXIO TOILET day to day: size, capacity, handling

The BOXIO TOILET measures 40 x 30 x 28 cm and weighs around 2.8 kg, with a capacity of roughly 8 to 10 uses before the solids container needs emptying. Exactly how often that comes up depends on how many people are using it and for how long. The toilet itself needs neither electricity nor a water connection, which makes it a good fit for vans, motorhomes, garden sheds, or as a stand-in solution during a bathroom renovation. The container closes with a lid, so nothing spills in transit and no smell escapes. If you want extra odour control, you can add hemp-based litter to the solids container, though that's optional rather than essential to how the separation itself works.

A mobile washbasin for life on the road: BOXIO WASH

The BOXIO WASH pairs with the toilet as a mobile washbasin. A hand pump draws water from a 5-litre fresh water tank, which you can refill at any normal tap. Waste water runs into a separate canister that you empty on its own. Here too, no electricity or fixed connection is required. If you need more capacity for longer trips, the WASH XL offers 7-litre tanks in a slightly taller Eurobox XL format, useful for staying self-sufficient for longer or using the camping sink for washing up as well.

Which BOXIO WASH set-up suits you

The BOXIO WASH range comes in several tiers. The base version gives you the washbasin itself with pump and tanks. The Starter Set adds a mirror and a shower head, handy if you also want a quick rinse-off. The Complete Set adds a water filter and a small shelf, aimed at longer trips or changing water sources. That way you can match the kit to how long you're travelling for, without having to buy the biggest set from the start.

Where a self-sufficient bathroom makes sense

A self-sufficient toilet-and-washbasin set-up is worth it wherever there's no fixed plumbing or mains power: in a converted van or campervan, on a campsite, at a festival, in a garden building, or even on a building site without proper facilities. Because neither product relies on chemicals or fixed pipework, you can set the pair up and take it down again over a single weekend, with no lasting changes to the space.

Why TOILET and WASH work as one system

Both products share the same Eurobox format, so they stack, travel and stow away just like the rest of the BOXIO range. If you're also setting up a mobile kitchen, the Camping Kitchen category has the matching modules in the same format. If you're planning a full van conversion, TOILET and WASH combine with the modular BOXIO RACK system for your camper conversion. That means your set-up can grow as you go, rather than locking you into one fixed system from day one.

BOXIO has racked up more than 5,800 customer reviews to date, averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars. The BOXIO WASH alone has around 171 verified reviews at an average of 4.73 out of 5, a sign the systems hold up in everyday use, not just on paper.

FAQ – Camping Toilet

How often do I need to empty the BOXIO TOILET?

The solids container holds roughly 8 to 10 uses. Exactly how often that comes round depends on how many people are using it and for how long, so there's no fixed number of days, just this usage figure as a reliable guide.

Does the mobile washbasin need electricity?

No. The hand pump works purely mechanically, with no batteries or mains connection needed.

What's the difference between BOXIO WASH and BOXIO WASH XL?

The standard version uses 5-litre tanks, while the XL version offers 7 litres in a Eurobox format that's 5cm taller, giving you more buffer on longer trips with the same working principle.

Can I use the urine-diverting toilet without a dedicated campsite disposal point?

Yes. You dispose of solids with a bag in general waste, and the liquid down a normal toilet or drain, so a dedicated disposal station isn't essential.

Which settings suit this self-sufficient bathroom set-up?

Vans, motorhomes, gardens, campsites, festivals or building sites, anywhere without mains water or electricity.
