Is there much difference between the various porta loo models?  Any wisdom greatly received. 

Cheers, Benski X X X

we have the campingaz one, no problems so far, good size lasts 3/4 nights before it needs emptying.

had to reply don't like sad faces

Thanks for your replies.  I think we are heading towards the PP 365.  Any cheap prices out there?  Don't really fancy a secondhand one.  How environmentally unfriendly are all the chemicals?  Can you buy an ECOVER type product that is bio-degradable? 

Cheers again, Benski X X X

Hi Benski, one of the cheapest I can find is for £74.99 below, we got ours here in the winter sales. The Aquachem Green is a biological degrader and not a chemical one according to the website and has one several ecological friendly awards.

If you search on Ebay at the moment there are few 365 for sale going for good prices. Other places to look are in the freeads you see them there sometimes.

Even better the below links PP365 is £65-£66.

We just invested in one of these. Cant beat it for price. Ideal for a wee in the middle of the night, especially after several beers or the odd bottle of wine.

Available fromRiversway Leisure in Preston.

Colour: Pearl Lower Tank capacity: 11 Litres Dimensions cm: 43.5L x34.5W x 30H Weight: 4.1kg £36.95 Qty 055655 ... *Fiamma Bi-Pot 30 ... £36.95

Thanks, the Bi-Pot is certainly a lot cheaper than the PP.  I want one with a big waste capacity.....

Sounds like the Bi-Pot is easier to use as it only has one tank?  And it's stronger - safer for the larger bottom? 

Decisions decisions.....

Thanks Rick & Mel.  So, the PP does seem to be better than the other two - hence it being a bit more expensive.  Don't fancy the risk of "splash back".... or should I say I don't fancy DH having to face the risk of "splash back".  I don't mind spending a bit extra - you get what you pay for (usually).

If you are not in a hurry, keep looking at the lidls website, as each year they sell the thetford porta loo, around March/April time. We bought ours for £30! and it came with two travel bottles of rinse.cleaning fluid, that tucks into its special slot, under the loo. There is enough space for the rubber gloves too!

It is the smallest one Thetford make, but it fits into our roof box fantastically!

I recommend using a round plastic BBQ cover (Ours was £2.99 from Tesco) to put over it, great for hiding it away, waterproof and great for transportation.
