toilets

Cane Toad

just dont let the sale man sell ya Crap.......:-O

You would find more than Pros & Cons if you looked in my toilet.

They're just a tank that you bog into, nothing more, nothing less.

We just updated our 20 year old Porta Potti. The latest Porta was $189 and a crappy (yeah, intended) copy at Ray's was the same price.

Ended up getting the same capacity bogger from Big W for $98.

On a serious note, get one with a 20 litre holding tank, our previous one only had a 10 L tank and it was a pain in the arse (sorry) as it had to be emptied far too often.

To make the empties less frequent, encourage the love of your life to take a twinkle behind a tree as often as possible. But not too often, just filling the things with "solids" makes them somewhat difficult to empty, they do need a reasonable amount of fluid.

They are the best camping luxury I know of, heading off with a shovel just doesn't do it for me. Call me soft if you will.

Thinking of buying one too,
If you are stopping overnight and make a deposit or two, would the unit need to be emptied every day before traveling or are they reasonably well sealed up?

It is worth while to take on of those fold out chair toilets (without the plastic bag) for the ladies if they do not mind a "tinkle" behind the bushes as they are a comfortable sitting position.
A bit easier than hanging over a log.

best thing we have ever bought for our camping. They are great.
get a 20 ltr one, we got the Big W special and it is fine. Notice some have a double flushing outlet which may do a better job than ours.

See previous discussions re using nappy san instead of the chemicals.

You will do method #2, 10 times to method 1, once

Beware of brands that do not have a suitable height. Some are very low and you are sitting with your knees close to your ears. ( well almost anyway) Also purchase a 5 litre water container so as you can use it to rinse the tank out after emptying.

Size does matter, the bigger holding and flush tanks are less hassle

Good luck with your purchase, you will soon be number one in two`s.
