This is my first message to the list, I hope it works. We first got a Thetford's Porti Potti 135 last year to assure toilet training our son was not derailed. It worked great for him during a 3-week trip to Glacier National Park, the adults also used it during middle of the night emergencies. As stated below we also place it behind the passenger seat of the Westfalia and would like some type of cloth cover with foam pad to make the dinning experience more palatable. Has anyone found a source for porti potti covers?
