Not to drag out a mature thread but... ...someone wrote not to put anything in the van that you don't want in the front seat with you, and others wrote that their porta-potti survived a crash that the van didn't. In that vein, I offer this advice based upon experience: I, too, place my porta-potti behind the passenger seat, makes a good footrest...BUT, when the van is in motion, the potti is secured by bungie cords. Why, you ask? Well, a porta-potti with a full upper chamber and an empty lower chamber is top-heavy, and will tumble around the cabin as you take a sharp turn. So, unless you want to outfit the potti with reinforced sidewalls to eliminate the lean in the turns, I suggest a restraint of some kind. Melissa -- Melissa Mourkas 81 Westy Basic Camper 'Hilde' |
