Porta pottie types and salt water

ta, that's a good idea too, wherever I go on the beach there's always brackish water somewhere. I guess there is so much sodium in all the cleaning products, including the eco friendly ones, it wouldn't affect the reaction down under the seat.

I just went into Big W just then to look at their models, 1 for $160 (at 21L) and one at $68 (15L). They both looked very much the same in quality so i spose it's just capacity.

Unless anyone's got better advice ... I mean, i can't think of anything worse than the bottom section come apart when travelling, wherever it is stored - has that happened to anyone ?

Thanks JohnN

That's pretty much what i wanted to here. I pretty mainly camp on beaches and just know that the long term friendly solution to the area is take out what you take in, everything (cept maybe no. 1's).

Hi again John

Now the difficult question, i see the Fiamma toilets at Whitworths come in two sizes, the 13L and the 20L - but i dunno if this is the flushing hold capacity or the bottom section holding capacity. In any event how long do they last - say an average person on one dump a day ? Is it full after a week with one person or a week with 3 people.

At a guess i'd think there'd be half a L perhaps used in a flush and maybe a third of a L in waste material and paper say averge 1L per flush so would i be right in guessing say on the 13L model it would take 13 motions before it is full or perhaps 10 is a safer average or am i way out with the water estimation.

I've never specifically worked it out but we get 4 or 5 days with 2 adults and 2 kids before it needs emptying... which is not a big deal.
Hope that helps.
John

thanks Guzzi

that's about settles my queries.

I had a look cowpat, the dunny there looks sensational and folds up to about a quarter of the size of the 21l units at Big W, I reckon you could keep one under the passenger seat. But $3.30 a dump ? geez, that's an expensive dump. But i am presuming it's one wagg bag per dump. Amazing though that it's okay to put it in regular trash, must be some interesting chemicals in that Wagg bag. Hope no-one misreads the name and feeds it to their dog ...

Interesting point Ross. I spose what would be worse than the porta pottie coming apart during travelling would be opening it when full and fainting face first into the pottie because of the gas ...
