1223.0154 301097206 970-Series Portable Toilet - 2.6 Gallon, Gray

Great addition to my Chevy Express extended work van, for when there is no nearby "facility." Takes up minimal space and is simple to use. It already saved my butt (pun intended) on the first day of use. I got the 5 gallon unit for added capacity and less times to empty. It seems very sturdy and compact. I read reviews where people complain about the size of the seat. I'm 5'10" and slim. It was perfect. I'm not using it to sit and watch TV from. Only taking care of business. Not much else to say about it other than I might get a second one for my other van. I can already tell it will be a great addition for those long road trips when you don't want to stop at some sleazy convenience store. Oh, keep some hand sanitizer nearby and you are "good to go!" 7 year update... still works fine and is very handy to have, however... the rubber seal that keeps the water in the bowl no longer holds and the water flows through to the waste tank. It also allows odors to escape and if you are in a hot climate... can be a bit overwhelming. I contacted Dometic to get a replacement seal, and they told me there isn't one. Odd because I have an RV Dometic toilet that is very similar, and you can replace the seal. I suppose 7 years of use is ok. I've adapted to the bowl losing water. You just have to work fast!

We are currently rebuilding our bathroom and needed a toilet in the mean time, and this toilet works great. I have the 5 gal. model and between me and my wife we only have to dump it about once a week. It is very easy to use there is a pressure pump for the clean water tank on the top along with the clean water cap for the holding tank. Just fill with water and once your done pump it and push the flush button. The fresh water tank and the waste tank are completely separate. To dump separate the two tanks and carry the waste tank were ever you and going to dump it. This tank will not leak out, which is nice because it can get heavy. On the waste tank there is a dump spout and a air vent. Simply turn out the dump shout and take off the cap, then open the air valve and dump the waste tank. Then all you have to do is put the tanks back together and refill the clean water tank and add some more deodorizer. The deodorizer that I like is buy Campa-Chem, found it at Cabela's and it is a liquid so there is no need to dissolve it like the powdered kind.

I'll never go back to "dig & squat" camping again after using this portable toilet! First, packing out waste is a component of Leave No Trace, so I've been researching options around that for some time. I settled on this over seat+bag options and I believe this is superior for sanitation and handling waste with minimal smell. Second, space was a big consideration for us as we camp in a small pop-up and the 5 gal toilet is still small enough to fit easily in our setup. I highly recommend the port-a-pak tablets for the holding tank as 1 tab is sufficient for a whole trip of 3-4 nights between 2 people. The holding tank has an indicator for how full it is, but at 5 gallons we haven't had an issue with the capacity. The toilet's design is good for separating the flush mechanism from the tank for both use and maintenance. PLEASE flush a cup of water into the bowl before use as this helps keep the bowl clean - this requires a little more pumping before you sit, but is totally worth it for keeping clean. We have run out of flush water as it's only a bit more than a gallon in reserve, but it's easy to fill from our extra water tanks. Emptying the tank after a trip is nasty work, either at a chamber toilet or at home, but the tank spout and general design make it as easy as possible.

I have put on some weight over the past twenty years of sedentary living, (150 extra pounds) and I tried to make sure when we ordered this potty, it would handle my weight. The wife thought it was just perfect height, size, etc. etc., I was a bit concerned about the volume it could handle, as both of us run to the bathroom a lot, and several times (or more) in the night. The unit operated as described, and handled a full two days/nights of use, and we emptied it in the dump station at the camp grounds, and they had one of those handy spray hoses to help flush everything well. No undue leakage from any one area, just some handling residue from the way we handled it, the top 2.5 gal of water with the tank chemicals came together and separated from the waste tank just fine, the turn-out spout didn't leak and by opening the center chute device it allowed us to use the park water clean out hose to really get it cleaned out well. Note: Take some disposable gloves with you for this messy task. The wife thought the toilet lid was a bit quirky to open to reach the seat, but it didn't present too much of a problem (don't recommend sitting on the lid, or pressing it closed too tightly, if you want to avoid this). Overall I dropped it one star for the overall size; but then again I knew what size I was ordering, and this size was a lot easier to use then one of the 5 gal, which could weight a lot and cut into valuable space when packing in/out and filling up the water tank. The flush portion needed an extra cup of water from time to time to aid flushing oversize solid waste, but every thing else, could be handled by the pumped up pressure and the flusher.

Toilet as described, works well. Packaging poor! and slight damage to unit that I did not bother reporting, because, toilet and not really important. Never the less now I have been asked to write a review on this product and supplier, packaging needs to be better

We use this in our camper trailer. It's sturdy and a decent size, although we put it on a 2 inch platform for comfort. Super easy to empty with the spout sustem. No mess at all. Flusher actually works with push button. No odor from sealed unit. Overall, a good product.

Tenía mis dudas si funcionaba pero es perfecto para ir al baño lo use en unos días de camping y no desprende olores para nada, te salva la vida.

Lid keeps popping off and the flush doesn’t really get around of the bowl properly. So you have to wipe it every time. Nice and compact. But very hard to get together. Struggle every time. As does my husband.

What a great little Porta potty. Compact, easy to use.. Highly recommend.
