I can't vouch for anything currently available, but nearly 20 years ago when I was 10 or 11, I would accompany my father and a bunch of similar raving lunatics and hippies (there were _real_ hippies in the Pacific NW at this time) on whitewater rafting and kayaking trips. We had a port-a-potti (TM) which held up well for us as well as some of the more larger members of the troupe. Port-a-potti is the brand made by Thetford (thedford?), and they seem to be pretty well made.

Don't know what's happened to quality, etc, in the past 20 years, though.
