First thing I did when we got our 1995 was pull the stock toilet, and install a Thetford cassette. I don't want to be looking for a dump station, or having to pull the trailer to a dump station (although, with 45 gallons, I could go two weeks without dumping, I think). In 6 years of using cassettes, I have not had a problem, nor wished I had a black tank to use.

Installing the cassette toilet is an interesting bridge between the conventional RV toilet and a composting toilet. While you're still using water, you accomplish the following:

You eliminate using the black tank. That potentially can save much weight if you're full and can't dump right away.
You can use your toilet even if your RV is winterized.
You have many more options for dumping,
No dump fees.
And as a last resort if you were boondocking in an isolated area, you could dig a latrine and empty your cassette. (Not recommended unless absolutely desperate.)
