Portapotti

Hi Cheryl,

I to was worried about a decent porta loo to buy for recent camping trip with the misses, decided on a Thetford porta poti 145, served us pretty well for a 5 day trip, guess it depends how long you are going, the 145 is a smaller one but we had plenty of room left for the nasties after a 5 days lol, bonus with Thetford is they have all the chemicals and sunny roll available and every store we've been to in Perth,

On another note, that trip was mainly off road tracks with plenty of corrugations and big knocks, and there were no leaks at all, emptying it is another thing all together lol

Good luck!!

Cheryl,

We have had a Porta Potti for the last four years in our van and have had no issues.

We do not use chemicals (as such), we use a generic napisan solution whch we have found to be excellent. In addition to no smells in the van, there are also no bad smells at emptying time.

One thing to consider is the full weight of the lower tank. Since it has to be carried to a dumping point and do the potential messy emptying chore it can get awkward. I made a canvas bag to carry it so its not too obvious.

you cant go past a thetford brand of any size, they dont leak, easy to emply and clean and you can get replacement parts should you need them. avoud the cheaper brands if you can. cheers jay

We own two Porta potti's.

The first one is the Thetford 145 and is a practical unit for weekenders.
However the waste tank only holds 10 litres and tends to fill up fairly quickly, within a couple of days with two of us using it.

We then purchased a Thetford 165 which is a much more practical solution for longer stays. (both on and off the potti:))
The additional height gives one a more comfortable position and the 20 litre tank, longer periods between empying.

The Thetford 165 is my vote for the best size, subject to transportability.
We bought a canvas cover from Klaus (InFront Canvas) and just strap it on top of our camper trailer.

Thank you to all who replied regarding porta potti purchases and comparison, I think the thetford is the go, so better get that order in.
Thanks
Cheryl
