Porta Potti Basics

The modern porta potties are a self contained unit and in the case of the flushing models, is manufactured from robust molded plastic. The range is wide, from the small camping toilets from manufacturers like Coleman and Thetford, up to the large portable toilets for uses on building sites and at large events.

This site is looking at the portable camping toilets that often interchangeably known as porta pottie, porta potty, portable potties and camping toilets. They are really designed for occasional use when camping, boating or traveling. Many are designed for use with an RV, and feature integral holding tanks and flush functionality.

If you have traveled and camped in remote places, then you will likely have discovered that primitive toileting does not suit everyone. Many people are not happy to nip behind a bush when nature calls. The portapotti will provide those people with a more luxurious experience, and make their travels a lot more fun.

Portable toilets come in a range of designs for a wide range of budgets. Starting at the most basic models, they feature a toilet seat which is attached to a foldable frame. A plastic waste bag is attached below the seat, and is easily removed for waste disposal. Although primitive, they actually work exceptionally well, but need to be emptied after each use to prevent sanitation issues.

Moving up the range a little, the next type of porta loo is little more than a large, tall bucket with a toilet seat on top, and a lid. These are more like a real toilet, and have a reasonable capacity. Water is put into the bucket part before use and they are very easy to clean and empty. Again, non-flushing, and needing emptying after each use, these retail online for around $30.

The next models are generally flushing porta-potties which feature a holding tank for fresh water and a black water tank for waste. Easily cleaned and set up, these porta-potty models are very similar to your normal household toilet, but on a small scale. They add a lot of comfort to traveling and are highly recommended. One does need to be aware of clogging issues, but this can usually be avoided if one uses single ply toilet paper or the specialist toilet sheets available online or from your camping store. Amazon sell a great range of these, usually with fantastic discounts on and deals on porta potty prices. The Thetford Porta Potti 365 and the Coleman Century 2.6-Gallon Portable Toilet are very popular models.

Some of the best portable toilets are the luxury porta potti models from Thetford and Coleman, with companies like Reliance providing toilets for the lower end of the market. All will suit your needs, and the great thing is that whether your budget is $20 or $200, you will find a portable potty to suit your needs. It is also possible to rent porta potties from some stores.
