Bürstner offers various toilet systems that optimally support the comfort and needs of owners on their journeys. Whether you are a camping enthusiast or an experienced motorhome owner, this information will help you decide on the right toilet system for you.
Overview of Bürstner WC systems
- Cassette toilet: The cassette toilet is one of the most commonly used toilet systems. It has a removable faeces tank that is easy to empty. Flushing can be done either manually or electrically, providing a reliable and user-friendly solution. Cassette toilets have been standard equipment in Bürstner motorhomes since the 1980s and are still one of the most frequently used toilet systems today.
- Chopper toilet (Indus toilet, Thetford): The sophisticated toilet system features an efficient chopper function that reliably shreds faeces and toilet paper. The automatic dosing of sanitary additives and the clever use of grey water for flushing optimise the system in terms of environmental friendliness and economy. Particularly noteworthy is the hygienic emptying via a hose, which simplifies maintenance and makes the system ideal for long-term use. It has been fitted as standard in the Bürstner Elegance since 2021.
- Portable toilet: A self-sufficient system, such as the Porta Potti, does not require a fixed installation and is easy to transport. Ideal for spontaneous camping trips or as an additional option for motorhomes with less space. Available since 2021 in the Copa model and from 2026 in the Habiton and Papillon models (optional).
- Bag sweat toilet (Clesana X1): A pioneering system that seals faeces in film bags and requires no water. Provides a hygienic and odour-free solution, especially in remote areas or where water supply is minimal. Available from 2026 in the Habiton and Papillon models (optional).
- Trenntoilette (Trelino): The separating toilet efficiently separates solid and liquid components from each other and thus enables environmentally friendly disposal. The system works completely without water and chemicals and offers simple, resource-saving handling. Particularly suitable for environmentally conscious campers who want to travel independently and take on ecological responsibility. Optionally available from 2026 in selected Bürstner models.
- Fixed tank ceramic toilet: This high-quality ceramic toilet offers maximum comfort with a generous 120 l waste water tank. An electric slide ensures automatic connection to the tank and enables simple and hygienic handling. Perfect for longer journeys in fully equipped Bürstner models where maximum hygiene and a touch of home are required. Optionally available from 2026 in selected Bürstner models.
Not included in the Bürstner portfolio:
- Vacuum toilet: The vacuum toilet removes waste by vacuum in a similar way to aeroplane toilets. Due to the high energy requirements and the complex technology needed, such systems can only be found in luxury vehicles.
- Dry toilet: A dry, chemical-free solution that requires no water rinsing and is environmentally friendly. However, such systems are not integrated in Bürstner vehicles.
- Combustion toilet: This toilet burns faeces to ash at a high temperature. Due to its high power consumption and considerable costs, it is not included in the Bürstner portfolio.
Importance of the vario bathroom in the context of WC systems:
- Flexibility: The vario bathroom allows flexible use of space, which is particularly advantageous in the compact environment of a motorhome. By using sliding or swivelling elements, the space is used efficiently and offers a level of comfort that is often not possible in fixed bathrooms.
- Integration of various functions: Although the vario bathroom is a complete bathroom concept, it can also include a WC and thus fully integrate the functionality of a traditional bathroom area. This approach makes it an important component of the sanitary solutions in Bürstner vehicles.
- Optimisation of comfort: For many campers, a comfortable and functional bathroom is a decisive factor, and the innovative design of the vario bathroom helps to make a stay in a motorhome more pleasant.
💡 Our tip
If you are planning longer journeys or frequently visit remote places with your motorhome, choosing an innovative toilet system, such as the pouch-separating toilet, could be crucial for a comfortable and hygienic experience. The vario bathroom's flexible solutions for optimised space utilisation are also particularly interesting.
