You are right, however no doubt, you never camp in your westy in the winter? > Westfalia made a toilet seat-on-a-bucket option back in the 50's, maybe 60's that was essentially a 2 gal. Bucket w/ toilet seat on it. These are now very very rare & sell for $1500 +- on the samba. Don't know if it was intended for use inside or out, but either way, this idea has been around for a long time. I got a very nice RV porta potti w/ cover that came w/ my 84 Westy from the PO. I don't use it, but it would be odorless once the contents are flushed/sealed, is easy to maintain, has separate water for flushing, blue stuff to mix w/ the yucky stuff in the bottom tank, & costs about $125+-. They are available in rv supply stores ,etc. Tom-aren't Friday's wonderful-even better than cat fuel during the week? |
