Re: [RC] The real "poop" on porta potties for a trailer - Barbara McCrary

I can't see how it could be any worse than raising babies.  Changing diapers
isn't a pleasant job, either, but we do it.  We also clean horse stalls and
clean up after dogs.  It really isn't such a big deal......

I think almost all porta-potties work on the same
principle, the top is filled with water, put a
de-stinkum thing in the bottom part, then use as
little as possible.  With mine, I empty it down the
toilet at home, then put more water in the bottom,
swish and flush in the house again.  No matter how you
look at it, it's a nasty job to clean it.

I try to use my porta-pottie for urinating only and
save the other for the outhouses provided.  'Course,
you can't do that when primitive camping.  So stock up
on rubber gloves, hold your breath and grit your
teeth.  Or try to con someone else into cleaning it!!

camping.

I've seen a few on Cabelas's site, and some other
places, but to be honest,
I'm not sure... how they work. I don't know how to
ask this kind of thing
delicately, so I'll just come out with it - how do I
dispose of the stuff
that is "deposited" into the potty? And how often do
I need to do that? Can
I use the potty all weekend, or will I need to empty
the contents?

Anyone who is brave enough to tell me how these
different portable toilets
work, please speak up! I'm looking primarily for
something to use for
weekend camping (I hate having to crawl out of the
tent and tromp 1/2 a mile
to the outhouse in the middle of the night) and for
day use at areas that do
not have toilets. Any suggestions for specific
models are also appreciated.
I'm looking for something with the minimal amount of
"ew gross" factor.

Thanks!
