Portable toilets have made travel much more comfortable for many people. Whether you have a portable toilet in an RV, or you pack one with you on extended camping trips, these inventions have taken an otherwise unpleasant aspect of travel and made it more bearable. There are many varieties on the market. Here is a quick look at a few of the toilets available.

SaniPottie

This toilet is perfect for camping or to use in small RVs or camping vans. They are designed to be small, and lightweight for easy travel. This toilet does offer a flush system. It consists of two sections. The upper section contains flush water and a seat, while the lower section is where the waste is held. Most models have an indicator to let you know how full it is, and when you need to drain it.

Bio-Toilets

These portable toilets are designed specifically for those who enjoy being outdoors, but want the convenience of a toilet. It consists of a stand, a seat, and a place to attach a plastic bag. Waste will enter the bag when the toilet is used. Once you are done, the bag can be tied up and disposed of. This design makes it simple to fold down to a very small size, and some models can be folded enough to fit in a backpack.

Chemical Toilets

These types of portable toilets are most often found in vehicles. They consist of an upper tank with flush water, and a lower tank for the waste. The biggest difference between these and the SaniPotties are the chemicals used. In a chemical toilet, an enzyme is added to the lower tank to help break down waste and toilet paper. The chemical also helps to reduce unpleasant smells that are often associated with portable toilets. Most camping supply stores will sell a variety of chemicals that can be used, although many manufacturers will suggest certain chemicals based on the brand of toilet purchased.
