How often will I need to empty Thetford Porta potti?

I took the cassette door off and i leave the cap off with the spout pointing outwards then when i go around corners it self-empties :dance:
 
Oi you lot, behave, I've just had to go and wash the tears of laughter from my eyes again! :lol-049::lol-049::lol-049:

Hi,
sorry to have to ask, but I can't actually find this answered anywhere and am just looking for a rough idea.

So, for one person using it just for no.2 how long would it be between empties if using one with a 21 litre waste tank (the largest size)?

Also, I assume I wouldn't have an issue with smell if I built a gasketed box to keep it in?

cheers!

Sorry, but I can't help thinking "How long is a piece of string?"

I reckon you have probably managed to work out an approximate timescale from the answers above, so I won't even try to hazard a guess ... I do have a porta potti but so far, strictly speaking, haven't used it yet. But what I have done is lined the upper bowl with a disposable bin-liner type plastic bag (make sure you get the kind that don't have holes in them) and used that ... Before I had the Porta Potti I used a Kampa Kazi, which is basically a bucket, and I would always line that with a bin-liner before use as it was easier and cleaner to dispose of (or store) the bin liner with a knot tied in it (squeeze the air out first) by any convenient method, in my case I'd usually pop bin liners into bins waiting to be collected by the side of the road ... an airtight plastic container is handy for keeping them in if you are stationary for more than a day at a time.

pi.sssssss. I also keep a big 2L COMFORT bottle for use during the night.

If you **** in a bag like what I do you'll never have to empty it si you won't even need a gasketed box so maybe you can grow a few herbs in the toilet bowl mint for your spuds chives for your omelettes and really whatever you fancy.
Oh and if you pee in a yogurt pot you can just chuck that out your door in the morning.

Is it true you add no 2 to the camp fire and use it for cooking.

Hi Gang,
I take every opportunity to empty my cassette as regularly as possible.
Infact. I CAN say that Finding a Fresh Water tap, Rubbish disposal, & Cassette Emptying are an almost daily ponder & often dictate my traveld route all be it at an almost Subconscious level. If I HAD to, my cassette would last around the 10days mark as a Single Guy, Full Time Livaboard before needing to be emptied. But with a site pit stop schedule of every 14-20 Days I've not really had any issues.

SWMBO is looking at me oddly - This thread has had me chuckling for the last 10 minutes.

I'm waiting for someone to mention doggy bags and Cockapoos. Ooops I have - bugger.
 
If you're lining a toilet with a plastic bag, some cat litter will soak up the liquid and absorb the smells.
 
Out of interest,

After depositing your Biodegradable present in a Non Biodegradable Plastic bag,,,What do you do about disposal ?.
 
Oh dear, another sh*t thread.

About 3 days. That's 1s & 2s.
