Do you want a toilet to hide away, or do you want it to feel more sturdy and closer to the comforts of home? There are loads of different Thetford Porta Pottis on the market.

It’s the smallest of their entire range.The Thetford 565E feels like a proper loo. You sit up high and can occasionally start imagining you’re a king or queen sat on the throne.

The 565E has a cool little hatch too which opens to reveal your toilet roll, ready for action. It’s a substantial portable toilet and made of very rugged plastics which give a reassuring feel to sit on. It can take a weight of 200kg which is over 30 stones – no problem even for the biggest campers. There are no chemicals in play at all which helps our water systems avoid getting contaminated.

Features

This is a first class product which comes with a free hold down kit. The materials used in construction are of a very high standard which makes not only the function of the toilet easy but looks pleasing to the eye ( if a loo can be pleasing to look at !) A 10cm height difference doesn’t sound that much, but in a campervan every inch is precious. Cupboard are small to even begin with, so having any redundant items or items that are larger than necessary is a non-starter. What else do you need? Using the Thetford 335 is simple to operate. Everything is covered in the video located in the Overview TAB above. This article outlines the sort of research we’ve done in installing a Thetford 335 Porta Potti into our VW T5.1 campervan. As mentioned many times on Camping Secrets, we love our little Mercedes campervan . However it does not have an on-board loo which can limit the places we can stay – step forward the Thetford Porta Potti Qube 335 which measures only 31.3 x 34.2 x 38.2 cm and works really well.

If the toilet is just to be used in moments of desperation then there is no reason why you can’t find a temporary spot inside your tent or campervan to work your magic – we’ve tried this approach and found that it’s a good idea to tell anyone you’re travelling with to keep away in moments like these – danger zone! You can get to know your own family a bit too well under such circumstances! Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house.The Carplife loo was originally designed for anglers (hence ‘carp’) but can equally be commandeered by the camping brigade. So how does it work? Well firstly it has two waste compartments – one for ‘solids’ and one for ‘liquids’ – you could call them number 1 and number 2 if you prefer! Compartment ‘2’ should be lined with a biodegradable liner and after use sprinkled with sawdust or peat or similar – this helps suppress nasty niffs and starts the composting process (a natural degradation of waste by bacteria). The toilet splits into two sections – the top part consists of the loo seat, lid and a 10 litre tank with manual flush pump. The bottom section contains the waste (also 10 litre capacity). For an average family of three it will last a couple of days between empties. developing mobile toilets and toilet fluids for the last forty years. That’s why we can say with confidence that we are true specialists. So Thetford has the solution for you: the Porta Potti – a portable toilet that doesn’t have to be connected to a drainage or water system.
