Finally, the trip you’ve been planning, saving for, and researching for months (maybe even years) is happening. You’ve tuned up your RV, bought yourself some new gear, and picked up the book on the best backcountry hikes. You’re feeling confident… until you realize you haven’t thought through the bathroom situation.

Sure, your toilet for your RV or van is still functioning, but thinking about emptying the black tank and finding a dump station makes you cringe. Or, you can stop at the rest stops or the trailheads, but you really want something that is accessible and convenient at all times.

Travel farther, stay longer, and enjoy your adventure with The OGO Origin Composting Toilet. Dealing with waste can make or break your trip. Having a sanitary, odor-free toilet makes your outdoor and off-grid adventures simple and enjoyable.

How does the OGO Origin compost toilet work?

In general, compost toilets are easy to install and use, eliminating the need to use utility grid hookups, water tanks, and dumping. But many are still left clunky in design and messy in the cleanup.

Enter the OGO Origin, because traditional composting systems couldn’t keep up with the active and nomadic life of a traveller. It’s engineered for optimal off-grid performance, no matter the use case – camping, van or boat life, RVing, or more, making it the ideal compost toilet for off-grid living.

The features that set the OGO Origin apart from traditional compost toilets are:

Urine Division
The Origin works by separating solid and liquid waste using a patented trap-door system, eliminating odors common to other compost toilets that don’t use a similar design. 

Its electric agitator “flushes” with a button press for solids, and its urine sensor indicator signals when you need to empty the bottle.

Durable Materials
Every OGO composting toilet is made with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin, a versatile, durable plastic known for its toughness, as well as stainless steel and advanced electronics. The OGO Origin uses a compost medium on a 12V DC power system with low amperage draws that will not drain your power supply.

Compact Design
The Origin’s measurements make it ideal for compact spaces, fitting perfectly into the bathroom of your van, RV, tiny home, or boat. Measuring at 18.3" H x 16" W x 15" D, its small footprint and all-in-one system is guaranteed to level up your portable bathroom.

Quality & Care
Our toilets are backed by a 3-year warranty. Our customer care team consists of real people, ready to answer your questions and provide real solutions. We’ve helped thousands of people in every type of lifestyle transition from old, outdated systems to our compost toilet system, no matter their preferred lifestyle.    

Why Do Travelers Choose the OGO Origin?

The OGO Origin was built by adventurers, for adventurers. We wanted to move past the common frustrations associated with traditional composting toilets, so that you can focus on the miles ahead.

The Origin has been a travel companion for numerous travelers and situations – family RV road trips, weekend boat excursions, tiny home dwellers, and off-grid seekers. While each setup and environment may be different, the Origin brings ease, functionality, and peace of mind for all the ways people find themselves in nature. 

Ease with our removable solids bin, making the disposal of waste clean and simple. 

Functionality with the maximum capacity of our urine bottle, keeping liquids and solids separate, and allowing for the room and space to hold as much volume as possible. 

And peace of mind with the complete system of the Origin, handling your liquid and solid waste from start to finish for the composting process – free of odors and manual cranking.

The Best Choice for Off-Grid Living.

“Having lived off the grid for 33 years, I have been through a few toilets. After using OGO for a month now, I believe it is the best I’ve ever had.” - Mike F.

Living where few choose to venture is a treasure. The quiet, calm mornings, the uninterrupted days, and the symphony of sounds at night.

But it does come with the challenges you would expect it to. To enjoy off-grid living, preparation is key. The Origin provides a reliable and high-performing toilet, no matter how remote you find yourself. The waterless and chemical free system is user-friendly and eco-friendly. Composting is the most sustainable way to manage your waste, helping to keep your carbon footprint small.
