Bulk buy on composting toilet

Has any one tried to negotiate with any of the composting toilet manufacturers to see if we couldn't buy enough of them to get a discount.
I have been living in my van for two years and using a bucket. I am so tired of dealing with a bucket of crap. Also the emptying of a blackwater tank is actually more disgusting on a hot summer day than anything any normal person can imagine.
Any others interested in trying to buy the toilets in bulk?

If I were going to full time, I would. But for a weekend camper, it just isn't in the picture.

I'm going to buy one. Even a weekend is too long for me to deal with my own Pooh. I'm up to my eyeballs with dealing with poop.

I plan on the black tank being very lightly used... As in #2 at the campground bathroom! Lol
If we ever get into any boondocking I will just get a clothespin!

I am not sure I understand.

How would you avoid a bucket (pail, bin,etc) by buying a factory built composting toilet vs. a home made version with a bucket. You are still poo'ing in a container that you have to empty?

Trust me. There is a difference. Live with a bucket of poop and no place to dump it.

I'm just offering those interested in buying one a chance to try to buy them in bulk. Not asking for opinions.

I have about a year of using my home built one in a (full time living) 5th wheel.

I still don't understand what you are seeing as significantly different in a factory built one. You still have a bucket (bin, pail etc) of poo to dispose of.

Do a search of the forum and you will find a number of threads on the subject.

I have done every method of dealing with crap. I am finally done. I just want something that doesn't involve dealing with a bucket. It's me dealing with the disposal and cleaning. I just want a nice looking shitter that I don't have to do **** chores with. Seriously I have had an entire lifetime of dealing with every method of composting and dumping ****. Just figured i would try to negotiate a better deal if there were others looking to take the plunge. If you'd like to follow me around and clean up my pooh I'd pay you $1000 too. I am just done.

Has someone designed a "composting" toilet that empties itself?

I have an incinerating toilet I can sell you- You crap in it and it vaporizes it. Just clean the ashes out once in awhile.

I'd be interested. Depends on how much it would be after you get a discount.

How much off would you need to make the plunge? I think they are $960 on Amazon. I was thinking $800 sounded less horrid.

I have heard of 3rd world countries where people by pigs, when they defecate the pig will run up and gobble it up. You might try that.

You might want to start with just a couple and see how it goes.
