Hi   We have just picked up out first trailer tent, a second hand Raclet which has a small curtained off area and we have decided to get one of those portaloo things, just for night time use.

Now looking in online camping shops, ebay etc there are so many to chose from that it's very confusing.

They are so many..... Thetford 163, 165, Camping Gaz etc .... what is the best one to go for?

Is Thetford the "best" brand or are they all much of a muchness?

There seem to be a few on Ebay, claiming to have had little use etc,  and at the end of the day a good wipe round with a domestos wipe will make it seem like new. Is there anything to look out for.... what is breakable on them.... what should we look out for? 

I know that you have to use special chemicals in them... are these expensive, is there a cheap outlet for them?  I have heard that you need to use special toilet paper in them, if so does anyone know why?

Must learn to search topics before asking a question.  I would imagine just most questions have been asked before over the past few years. ;)
