Lavario Portable Clothes Washer
Manual Non-Electric
LAVARIO is the best portable washing machine in the world. Our patented “power flow technology” is totally unique because it drives water through fabric with amazing cleaning action. Only minimal arm strength is needed because gravity does the work on the down-stroke and buoyancy makes the up-stroke easy.
Lavario is non-electric, portable, easy to use, and proudly manufactured in the USA. Lavario can be used in an RV bathroom, apartment bathroom, or outdoors, anywhere convenient to drain water.
NOTE: After 4 months exploring the South West, we have a few tips: (JUL 2021)
-
The Lavario requires lots of water which was not as available when boondocking, especially in the desert states.
-
Stopping at laundromats turned out to be necessary.
-
We still used the spin dryer to accelerate air drying - when we had electrical hookups and time to air-dry.

Oodles of Noodles Solid Deluxe Foam Pool Swim Noodles 3 Pack 55 Inch Length
NOTE: Changing the T@B 400 bedsheet is not easy. We found out just using a flat sheet on top of the mattress with pool-noodles securing the sheet between mattress and side walls works awesome - and is easy to undo and redo after washing. So any twin or queen flat sheet will do.
I used a twin flat sheet (see photo below) but a queen flat sheet would be more flexible to pull tight when needed.
BEST TIP: The pool noodles keep things from falling all the way down the side of the wall and past the platform. (To retrieve my cell phone, the mattress had to be completely removed before looking under the platform. The noodles will prevent that from happening again.)

Bathroom Business Explained
NOTE: Dave and I decided to not use the camper toilet system because we don't want to clean black-water tanks. We also don't want to use public toilets since the COVID virus has arrived. Instead, our toilet is turned into a human litterbox. After many experiments, we have put together the best-layered contents that make it easy to put together, remain odorless, and is easy to dispose of. It's a layering system of products that are highly absorbent and mostly natural. Most of the products listed can be picked up wherever farm or pet supplies are sold. For your convenience, you can also order them online here at no extra charge to you. Scroll down to find a list of supplies
I started this as an overnight convenience. The toilet elevator is necessary when two people are using the bathroom overnight with plenty of space for men to feel comfortable using. Because there is no liquid in the toilet, driving around with a toilet full of pine pellets is not a concern and always available for use even on the road.
To discard contents, pull up garbage bag excess straight up. (Leave the contents in the bowl until after you tie three knots.) The training pad automatically wraps over the contents diaper-style making the chore much easier. Three knots will ensure no leakage when discarded at a gas station while getting fuel or the campground dumpster.
Here is our best-layered toilet preparation
-
Keep toilet cover in the upright position.
-
Purchase XL Puppy Training Pads. Each training sheet holds 8 cups of liquids. (Or pick up at farm or pet stores. There is a wide variety of this product now available.)
-
Cut a small section of one sheet and place it at the bottom of the toilet as an added protection against leaks. You won't need to change this one unless there is a leak - highly unlikely.
-
Purchase 13-gallon garbage bags (I preferred white). Place one garbage bag inside the toilet. Spread smoothly around the bottom. Bring the excess bag over the toilet seat & rim. (This excess will be used to wrap up and tie three knots before discarding.)
-
Take a full sheet of the absorbent liner (training pad). Gather one side together and tape-in-place. Opposite the gathered side, repeat (gather the opposite side and tape-in-place.) It will now look like a large paper bowl. Place this absorbent-paper-bowl inside the toilet layering it on top of the plastic garbage bag already lining the toilet. Secure edges of paper-bowl under the toilet-seat lid to hold in place.
-
Add pine pellets (2" deep) inside the paper-bowl-lined toilet. (Pine pellets absorb more than 500% of their own weight and the natural pine scent along with the absorbent training pad absorbs odor.)
-
Place the toilet seat lid down. Your weight will keep the contents in position.
-
To discard, pull up garbage bag excess straight up. (Leave the contents in the bowl until after you tie 3 knots.) The training pad automatically wraps over the contents diaper-style making the chore much easier.
-
With 3 knots, you can be assured no leakage or odor escapes. We threw it in the back of the van until we found a campground dumpster or discarded at a gas station while refueling.
-
TIP: We used this method exclusively every night for urine. If using for #2, wet some pellets on the side. Wet pellets will fall apart. Cover #2 with the wet crumbled pellets to eliminate odor fast.
-
TIP: Toilet paper isn't odor-controlled so discard in a separate container.
America's Choice Bedding Pellets provides hassle free and long lasting use. Pellets are specially designed to provide super absorbency. Available in a forty pound size.

-
Purchase 13-gallon garbage bags. Place one garbage bag inside the toilet. Spread smoothly around the bottom and edges. Pull the excess bag over the outside of the toilet and rim.
-
Take absorbant puppy-pad and gather one side and bind with tape. (Do the same with the opposite sidpappere.) It will now resemble a paper bowl.
-
Place the paper-bowl as a new layer inside the garbage bag already lining the toilet. Spread evenly around the bowl and over the edge of the toilet and under the toilet-rim-seat Your weight on the toilet-rim-seat will hold all in place.
