A Removable Toilet Within the Interior Plan
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
I planned the interior layout before adding the floor and wall layers. The YITAHOME purchase brings a removable two-part assembly into that space plan. Comparing its flush controls and lower tank with the Camco bellows and Thetford piston arrangements is useful alongside the room needed to separate and carry the sections.

Format
Separate upper and lower toilet sections
The YITAHOME toilet separates into an upper seat-and-flush section and a lower holding tank. The pump, latches and emptying spout make access around the body part of the storage decision. In a van enclosure, compare the usable position with the route needed to lift and carry the lower section out for emptying.
The sections need room to separate, and the holding tank needs an exit route. Those movements add space beyond the closed footprint.
YITAHOME BFTLPT-1010 Tank Separation And Emptying Instructions
The exact Amazon listing for my YITAHOME purchase links this original BFTLPT-1010 instruction sheet. Its diagrams identify the piston flush pump, slide valve, tank-release button, level indicator and rotating emptying spout. The cleaning sequence closes the slide valve and seat cover before the release button separates the upper and lower tanks. The spout rotates outward for emptying into a permanent toilet facility, followed by rinsing. The maintenance section covers tank cleaning, periodic slide-valve lubrication and long-term storage. In a van layout, leave access to the release button and room to lift and carry the lower tank.
The cover identifies BFTLPT-1010. The PDF is linked under Product guides and documents on ASIN B09KBM9LQL, the purchased product linked on this page.
