    Dude, I would have never in a million years thought I would spend 11 minutes and 1 second of my life watching a video on a port-a-potty. Then here you come with this, funny, educational, and absolutely brilliantly entertaining video. Thank goodness for UA-cams algorithm for recommended it. I dont know what you do for a living but I hope its in the entertainment industry.

      ...I've just bought one of these, but I haven't used it yet. I was thinking of getting one of those containers (about 2 litres or so, the ones you pump the plunger to build up pressure....and squirt) and use that first, before you start pumping the flush button. That way it will get everything moving down without unnecessarily filling up you storage part

      Pooping in private is the single greatest luxury one can have in life pooping in a public space is just asking to get assaulted while you are in the most vulnerable state of your life. People don’t understand how dangerous it is to poop in public.

    My wife hates composting (C-Head 'cline") & cassette toilets. . . So we rebuilt our standard RV toilet last summer. DID go to a macerator pump on our black & gray tank outlet. Does preclude the need for a dump station at a campground, etc.

    To avoid the smell could you leave the valve closed while you do the business then close the lid, open the valve and flush with the lid down then close the valve again?
    Maybe laying a couple of strips of toilet paper in the bowl before you dump would help with the skid marks too.
    Definitely getting one of these, this one seems to be the best model.

    Used one similar. Cassette toilet. Not as horrible as some candy a$$es say and get a more expensive one. I looked for Teepee that would work. Found septic safe type at any Dollar General, any Teepee that reads septic safe is suitable. Yes they make nice soft rolls also for precious bottoms, not just the basic sand paper rolls. I use a Cassette in my off grid, as a temporary, until I built in some thing more permanent...however it works fine and not that hanous to empty, clean and deodorize. Even guests visiting don't mind using if need to facilitate.

      @@theboonboxers Super easy and responsive. I bought it because I thought it would make me feel better because it was more like a modern flush toilet and it does. I bought the floor plate also and it is great. However! And peeps may have noticed reviews about the flush mechanism breaking. I live where there's pretty mild winter but a few days when it did snow, the flush DID NOT WORK, no water would come out! I had started a return/exchange with Amazon but got busy with work. A few days later, it had warmed up and I tried to use it and it worked. I can only assume that water was frozen in the flush mechanisms/tubes or the batteries were too cold. I don't know if the one you have will or will not flush when the weather is, I don't know, below freezing. I have an electric blanket and toss it on it when it's below freezing since then. Overall, they are the nicest, real looking/feeling camping toilet with just about perfect height out there!

      We have dumped ours in a vault toilet when last resort. Technically I don't think it's legal... That being said, we try to find flush toilets at parks and just make sure not to make a mess. It holds quite a bit of waste, I'd say for 1 person using it multiple times a day about a week. If you don't mind peeing in a separate container it could go much longer... But then starts to smell
