ours has been invaluable. you see many people emptying them and cleaning (at the designated area) and well, go for it really. for a weekend away we put the chemicals in the loo before we go and bring it back empty-no probs at all-don't think they'd exist if they leaked!!

Agreed, Mrs V8 has a dislike of the 'midnight wander' and the 3yr old would happily visit every loo in the uk forty times, so our own 'facility' was a 'must'. We've got a campingaz one- very good, v heavy when full- so best to empty/clean every 2 or 3 days.

We have one of the the Fiamma ones i laughed at the OH and her mate when they bought it last year but it saved a few quick 3am gallops to the toilets after a few cans! easy to use and clean there is a new chemical on the market that you use in both the flush and the tank so you only have to take one bottle with you all in all a good bit of kit. don't hesitate get yourself one

There is always an emptying point on site , you don't bring it home full.

We also have a Fiamma and it is one of the best things we ever bought.
Very easy to fill and clean and never had any problems with leaks or nasty smells.

I have the bigger version of the outdoor revolution outhouse, which I use as a cooking tent. Good quality, very stable in high winds, takes 5 minutes to erect. pack size is very small too, like a large rolled up beach towel .

I would recommend a double toilet tent rather than a single, I'm not the smallest person in the world but even my slinky friends find it better to have a bit more room... especially when the drinks have been flowing!
