funny you should mention the thetford 135.  i have one and when we're
camping i have a side tent - really an awning with clip-on sides we
made - that sits next to the sliding door.  i keep the thetford in
there. it's
dry, private and near for early morning or late night needs.  my wife
likes it and so do i.
