Porta Potti® 565E Portable Toilet

I have used a lot of different ones over the years in boats & RV's. As Porta-Potties go most of them the seat is too small for adults, this one fits adults very well. The height is good, the smaller holding tanks on some models make them too short for comfortable seating. The holding tank capacity is nice in that you don't have to worry about emptying it before the weekend ends.better to have one too large than too small. Now lets talk about the flushing system of this unit, the design is great... Read More

I have used a lot of different ones over the years in boats & RV's. As Porta-Potties go most of them the seat is too small for adults, this one fits adults very well. The height is good, the smaller holding tanks on some models make them too short for comfortable seating. The holding tank capacity is nice in that you don't have to worry about emptying it before the weekend ends.better to have one too large than too small. Now lets talk about the flushing system of this unit, the design is great but I went through three of these before getting one that works, and even the third one had failed but I needed a potty that weekend so I half filled the reservoir and left on out trip planning to just use a cup of water to flush with each time, but when we arrived at our camp I had to use the potty, I tried the electric pump when I was done it worked. So there is some sort of design problem with the way the pump primes itself. The solution seems to be to half fill the fresh water reservoir and slowly move the tank around for about an hours worth of driving. I would like to have been able to get the manual pump instead of the electric or at least be able to replace the electric pump with a manual pump if desired. Also a big pat on the back to Camping World's customer service, they worked with me and over-nighted replacement units at no extra cost to me.  Read Less

Have been using Thetford products from Camping World several years;; I tell people that it is the most valuable piece of equipment I have on board my truck; Currently have the Curve which is the most advanced model; The 565P (E) is similar; They are ergonomically comfortable to use & fit easily under my bunk or on floor of storage compartments; There is no smell; I suggest using Thetfords best Aqua Kem liquid holding tank deodorant which you can find easily even @ Walmart; It is very simple to separate the top flush water tank & go dump the treasure in any toilet-the blue deodorant breaks the waste down into a slush like slurry; Have used many of Thetfords models over the years, the smallest one would be good for automobile usage; They are quality built & will last a few years, but over time the strong formaldehyde will cause the plastic to weaken; They can be a handy step stool in the truck; I do not see why every truckers would not find one of these an essential item as I do; They can be a lifesaver if King Montezuma knocks on your back door suddenly! I still urinate into my 1litre Pepsi bottles & dispose of them properly-by doing that I can go a month or so before having to go empty the treasure tank; Every truck stop should be selling these, but they don t-many sell the liquid deodorant; I have only found a few drivers that have this wonderful product; It is hard to sell a truck driver on anything they don t know they need...  Read Less
