Porta Potty?

"We don't needs no stinking's Porta Potties!" --- ;^)

In a pinch, (no pun intended) I have used 2 pieces of 2x4 and a plastic bag.

Just flip up the rear seat, 2x is the seat, and the bag is biodegradable.

I also carry a shovel.

A PP would be nice, but I find that in the *off* season, pit toilets etc., are just fine.

I will be doing my first *peak* season camping this summer. I may want a PP after that.

If I had a PP, it would be mounted in the standard potty spot, bungeed, TP within reach, and emptied religiously every few days. No waiting for smells.

Neil.

Cheers,

Neil.
