An RV toilet is a temporary toilet which can be easily installed anywhere, but it is mostly installed in a recreational vehicle which is a vehicle (bus/train) that is used in traveling for one’s convenience.

Imagine you are traveling to a place you don’t understand the society or where you don’t want to use a public toilet, or you couldn’t locate a public toilet. This is where RV toilets come in.

It is usually a lightweight toilet and can be easily installed anywhere.  A toilet that comes with an empty tank (where the waste is saved) that will be installed a few meters from the toilet itself.

Of its advantages is that it saves the pressure of wanting to use a public toilet, that’s what the best RV toilets are meant for.

There are different types of RV toilets, and I will write the two I feel is the best based on convenience which I can also recommend

You can consider the following brushes

The brushes mentioned above is the best I can recommend keeping the RV bowl neat and can easily remove left residue without damaging the bowl.

Also, it is not advisable to drop the toilet paper (tissue) into the bowl, instead drop it in the trash to aid the empty tank from getting filled up. Though some people do it, it’s not advisable.

Immediately after use, flush the RV toilet and make sure no waste product is remaining, then apply some bowl cleaner to the little water left, then you can softly scrub the bowl with the brush, then flush once more. You can expect a sparkling white bowl for your toilet.

Also, I can recommend some toilet cleaners you can use( though the ones I have used and worked fine) which are:
