The success of the Excel design meant that a three chamber unit could be specifically designed for those with NO continuous 110 volt supply. First launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the standard toilet for those living off the grid. A 1998 redesign gave the unit a rounded look, and recessed the drum handle.
The Excel NE has no fan or heater. Odorless operation is achieved by a 4" vent mounted at the top rear of the unit which acts like a chimney on a wood stove. For good air movement the vent should be installed vertically and to 2-3 feet above the peak of the roof.
The optional 12 Volt Fan should be installed if you need to install the toilet with any bends in the vent. No more than 2 45° bends are encouraged, even with the fan. If the Excel NE is used residentially or heavily, or is in a place which is subject to downdraft, the optional 12 volt fan should be installed in the vent stack. This fan draws 1.4 watts and can be powered by a solar panel and 12 volt marine battery.
Evaporating capacity on the Excel NE is variable, so the 1" drain at the rear should be connected to an approved drain pit, container, or other facility.

I would like to thank Christian for contacting me after my order to mention there would be some more delays since the product was out of stock (delivery was no longer than 3 business days later 😀) concerning the gtg toilet: if you are looking for an affordable composting toilet, this toilet is perfect. The main difference is that you will pay double for one with a “mixing” handle, this one comes without one but works the same., odor free, and a very quiet fan. Thank you !

Great product, easy to install!
Super simple to install, I exchanged the black tank toilet in my trailer for one of these and I absolutely love it!
It looks like it was meant to be there.
