How to Switch Your RV Toilet to an OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet

Switching from a standard RV toilet to a compost toilet is simpler than you think.

What You Need

• OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet

• OGO™ Compost Toilet Flange Adapter (sold separately)

• OGO™ Urine Drain Kit (optional if you want to bypass the bottle)

• OGO™ Riser Plate (optional if keeping flange)

• Wrench

• Phillips screwdriver

• Waterline caps

• Rubber gloves

• PVC glue (optional for sealing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the Old Toilet

• Turn off your RV’s water supply.

• Disconnect the water line. Cap it to avoid leaks.

• Unbolt the toilet from the floor flange.

• Lift it out and clear the area. Gloves recommended.

2. Prep the Flange

• Clean up the flange and surrounding floor.

• Cap or cover the flange using the OGO™ Compost Toilet Flange Adapter.

• Optional: Use PVC glue for extra odor seal.

3. Install the OGO™ ORIGIN

• Set the OGO™ in place over the capped flange.

• Secure it using brackets or bolts as needed.

• If using a Drain Kit, run the urine line to your gray tank or external container.

4. Finish Up

• Connect power to the 12V fan system.

• Check venting. Make sure the vent hose is properly routed outside.

• Double-check stability. Done.

Common Questions (and Straight Answers)

What Happens to My Black Tank?

• It stays empty if you’re only using the OGO™.

• You can reroute the urine line into the black tank if you want.

• Otherwise, just leave it alone — no harm done.

• You can remove the black tank all together if desired.

Do I Need to Rip Out Plumbing?

• Nope.

• Just cap the water line and adapt or seal the drain.

• You can easily switch back to a flush toilet later if you want.

Will It Smell?

• No — if installed right.

• The OGO™ separates liquids and solids and runs a constant low-power vent.

• No sitting sewage = no nasty smells.

How Do I Handle the Waste?

• Liquids: Empty the container or drain it to the black tank.

• Solids: After weeks of use, empty composted material into the trash.

Pro Tips

• Use good composting material like coco coir. Don’t skip it.

• Keep the vent fan running. It’s low power but crucial.

• Inspect fittings after rough drives. It’s rare, but worth checking.
