Porta loo


Hi all....this will probably be thought of as a silly question by many but where do you keep a porta loo when travelling?

We are almost at the stage of purchasing our first caravan (not sure if finances will stretch to one with an ensuite)

so am just wondering where it travels when on the road?

Many thanks...happy days!

We have an Avan Cruiser which is only 12ft long inside but we can carry a porta potti in one of those zip up canvas bags under the (tiny) table at the front of our van. It sits there when travelling or parked in a caravan park where we do not need to use it. The canvas bag disguises it and makes it easy to carry outside when you want to use it. It does not move around on the floor so there is no problem and there is absolutely no smell from it whether dry or half full. Then we have a pop-up ensuite and the porta potti goes in there when stopped at a bush camp. Easy, simple and convenient. Use the Woolies nappy wash and Bob's your uncle.
Good Luck.

We have a 14 ft van with a cupboard under the wardrobe between the single beds, we put ours in there while travelling and for storage. During the night we put it out up close to the front of the van.
We had to buy a smaller one in height to fit in the cupboard but I just made a collapsible stand that folds flat to make it a good height to sit on.
Same as Hako we use Nappy San equivalent as long as it has 30+ % of sodium per carbonate , no smells .
Wouldn't be without it!
If your van has a double bed some already have a door on them , or it would be easy to modify.

Thank you so much..we honestly had no idea. I had seen some in cupboards when browsing on websites but most do not even mention it. All so much clearer now.

Once again thank you! Not long to go now!

Happy days!

Hi Jetta7......what is the height of the smaller one? I'm having trouble finding one small enough for our van.    Thanks for any info.
