in anticipation of issues with BLM LTVA I choose to install a "self contained" portable marine toilet. It is hooked to a 12v macerator pump that has a hose connected to a hose port in the side of my trailer. That toilet is 5.5 gallons. I also have a grey water tank plumbed in under my sink and it also empties out through a hose port in the side of my trailer. That gives me the 10 gallons of required waste tank per BLM LTVA requirements.
But when or if I want to I can switch the fitting on the toilet over to one that allows for the toilet waste tank to removed and carried to a flush toilet for emptying it.
Of course I also have a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma lid and a pee collection container as an alternative if I decide that works best in certain situations.
Where there is a will there is a way to create various alternatives in your build that will comply with the BLM inspections. Cost more than a 5 gallon compost bucket system but easier to do than installing a black water tank under my little travel trailer which does not have the ground clearance of a true off-road trailer.
