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

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!!

I'd like to keep it in my trailer dressing room or even in the main part of the trailer while 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.
