I to have a Propex under my rear seat so I built this enclosure for my Porta potty. I like it because it serves as a seat and can easily be removed when I need the extra space. I can laso take the porta potty out of the box and use it for extra storage. It stays in place and does not slide around at all.

And have to move my Propex or take it out? No way.
I've seen several rigs with the enclose w/lid setup for the toilets, usually
behind the passenger seat.  Seems to work well for them.  My solution is
even simpler.  I normally leave the bed down, especially when traveling.
That leaves the bed overhanging  into the living area.  And the toilet tucks
under just fine, in the corner, next to the 110v AC outlet.  Two screw eyes
and a bungee cord keeps it from sliding around on sudden stops, being under
the bed would keep it in place during a rollover.  And it's out of the way,
gets pulled out when needed.  One limitation:  Only the smaller of one make
port potties will fit so I have a smaller capacity than those using the
bigger/taller units.
