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

I have a porta potty in my barn (someday I'll have the real thing). What I
found makes a huge difference in less messy to empty/clean out is I never
put TP in it - TP goes in a plastic garbage bag that can be sealed up/thrown
away as needed. The de-odifier/bio-degrade stuf goes in the fresh water used
for flushing. Keeping an inch or so of the "fresh" flush water in the bowl
acts as a water seal to help with odor. Putting a few inches of flush water
in the bowl before you use it helps flush the heavy stuff more easily
without having it stick to the bowl (and smelling). I got some "no slip"
placemats (any of that "tacky" shelf or tool box liner will do) to keep the
PP from sliding around when the triler is moving.

The best place to dump the contents of your porta potty is at highway
rest areas that have dumping stations.  We're lucky that we have one a
few miles from home.  Get a pair of rubber gloves,  use the dump station
and avoid a possible "mess" when trying to dump the contents down your
toilet at home.
