For eight years I carried a PortaPotti in my '85, the smaller (lower) version. With the bed down (the way I normally travel) it fits out of sight under the bed extension into the living area, pulls out for use just fine. It survived without any problems or spills in a rollover that totaled the '85, and now resides in the same place in my '90 Westy. I traded off a Westy made box that it would fit into that came with my '90 that I was told was standard in the Euro versions of the Westy: took up to much room even though it provided an additional seat in the living area. Also would present a problem removing the PortaPotti when full for emptying. Gross part coming: I have even used this alongside a busy highway on one occasion when there was no hope of reaching a rest stop in time, pulled over onto the shoulder, turned on the 4-ways, stepped to the rear, etc. Just like the American Express and the Bentley, 'Don't leave home without it'.
