Planning a small upgrade for my vehicle as I've been thinking about simplifying my current... ehm, hygiene setup. Rather tired of bucket+pellet system.

How difficult would it be to add a toilet and blackwater tank to a cargo van? For instance, the holding tank just mounts underneath the van with a hole going through the floor, where the toilet mounts directly on top. For flushing, I'd have a plastic water tank (doesn't need to be huge) inside the van, with either an electric or manual pump. Will this work?

As for toilet itself, been thinking about installing a portable one but with flushing system added. Portapotti - from what I found - would be perfect for my conversion, but those are rather pricey, so I am looking for recommendations on a good product/price and something that will definitely contain the waste, not stink up the inside of the van if left in there on a hot day, and is easy to clean, etc. Any experience with Thetford or Camco (both on this list)?

I know everyone does this differently, and some even choose to travel without one (like you, Mike), and my idea is not the best I believe, but I'd like to to hear various answers.
