Our Next door Neighbour was a caravan owner, anyhoo they moved and gave us a Portable Toilet as they knew we camped a lot.
Problem is we havent got a clue what to do with it.
it splits into 2 seperate parts (base and seat)has a flush and a pull out section that opens the section for waste to travel to the base unit. we also have 2 chemicals a blue tank perfumed and a red top tank rinse additive.
Is there a Link anywhere on what on earth we are to do with all this. The word additive suggests mixing with either water or is it the blue stuff and what ratio. does the blue stuff go into the base unit and how much? again is it mixed with water?
How do we empty it on a site? Ive seen some with an extra tube that connects to something on a caravan site but we dont have this with it. I couldnt find anything with a manufacturers name on it so cant check that website.
Any advise would help as would like to start using it this year for those night time visits for the missis and 9 year old.

These are the instructions that I did for our scout group.
Potti Preparation
A. Separate the poo tank from the flushing water tank
1. Slide the (spring-loaded) locking latch at the back of the potti to the left (“unlocked”) position and hold.
2. Lift flushing water tank to separate the tanks.
B. Add deodorant
3. With the poo tank (lower) sitting flat, open poo slider by pulling handle out.
4. Add deodorant through the slider opening. Use portable toilet “Holding Tank Deodorant” (sample included in built-in storage compartment.
5. Add water to cover tank bottom. Close slider and replace deodorant bottle.
C. Re-attach the tanks
6. Align front hinge with front inter-locking tabs.
7. To secure tanks, press downwards gently…they should click into place.
D. Fill the fresh water tank
8. Remove water fill cap and fill tank with fresh water only, stream water will do.
(DO NOT add holding tank chemicals to the fresh water tank assembly.)
9. Replace and tighten the flushing water fill cap securely.
10. Place the potti on level ground, the potti is now ready for use.
E. Prepare the toilet tent
11. The toilet tent needs toilet roll (preferably in a waterproof container), hand wipes & nappy sacks or hand washing facilities before the toilet facilities can be considered ready.

Instructions
Emptying the Poo Tank
1. DO NOT LET THE POO TANK BECOME TOO FULL.
Empty the poo tank when the poo tank level indicator starts to change from green to red.
2. Make sure the poo tank slider handle is in the shut position.
3. Remove flushing water tank from poo tank.
4. Make sure the poo tank slider handle is in the shut position (again).
5. Carry the poo tank to any permanent toilet facility.
6. Remove pour-out spout cap while the spout is pointing upwards (keep the cap somewhere safe).
7. Swivel the pour-out spout to empty and press the vent button to help the poo tank drain without glugging/splashing.
8. When all the contents have drained, replace the spout cap and swivel the spout into the stored position.
5. Rinse the poo tank and prepare it as described in Part 1 (Preparation).
6. Reassemble the potti.

Instructions
What to do to have a poo
Before having a wee/poo
1. With the seat lid shut, open and close the poo slider.
2. Open the lid and put 2 sheets of toilet paper in the potti (to stop poo sticking to the poo slider).
If there’s no toilet paper, ask a leader for some more.
3. Press the flush to check there is water (if no water comes out, tell a leader).
4. Have a wee/poo.
After a wee/poo
1. Pull out the poo slider handle.
2. Push down on the flush to rinse the bowl.
3. Push the poo slider handle all the way in (to stop smells).
4. Close the lid.
Remember
If you are not sure what to do, just ask a leader.
