So how does it work? Well firstly it has two waste compartments – one for ‘solids’ and one for ‘liquids’ – you could call them number 1 and number 2 if you prefer! Compartment ‘2’ should be lined with a biodegradable liner and after use sprinkled with sawdust or peat or similar – this helps suppress nasty niffs and starts the composting process (a natural degradation of waste by bacteria). Thetford have a long history of making portable toilets, and operation of the Qube 335 is very simple as might be expected. Whilst the urine will need to be emptied frequently, the solids can stay in-situ for anything from 4 weeks to a year. If you don’t have access to land for composting, and have small infrequent amounts of waste, you can double-bag the dry solids and dispose in appropriate wastebins. PBO reader Stefan Leschner says ‘Air Head’ is the way to go. The Air Head compost toilet is a durable, waterless toilet suitable for canalboats, campervans, caravans, yachts and motorhomes.

Camco puts biodegradable powder into it during the manufacturing process. This quality helps the bag lubricate any liquid that falls into it, making it easier to contain.Human excretion makes for excellent compost. You will find many toilet pouches that have the structure suitable for soil composition. Once it fills up, all you have to do is dig a hole and put the bag inside. If you’ll be disposing of it in a garbage bin, it’s wise to choose a portable toilet that lets you add bio gel or at least something like cat litter. Trying to throw a bag full of liquids in the dumpster is NOT a good idea. How many people will be using the toilet? And how long do you want to go between dumps? (I mean emptying it… not the other kind) An excellent factor of these toilet bags is their versatile use. Typically, most units of this kind are only usable while camping or for outdoor use. However, the Commode Liners are perfectly safe for medical use. The idea of portable composting toilets is great — separate liquids and solids, create fertilizer for mother nature, cut down on plastic and chemical usage, only empty the solids every few weeks, etc. And when composting toilets work like they’re supposed to, they’re a more convenient and environmentally friendly portable toilet option.

If the Air Head is on the large side, another option, recommended by boat owner Andrew Polson is the Simploo Waterless Composting Toilet, which is made in the UK. Lunderg ensures that you will be able to achieve this convenience with this item. It’s super easy to use, and tying it up prevents any odor from coming out. Toilet bags are more a necessity than a luxury when you’re out in the wilderness or on the road. You will need to attend nature’s call without causing an infection safely. Decathlon’s Compact Folding Dry Toilet comes with a lid and is used with a 40-50l toilet bag and sawdust (bought separately).It’s a substantial portable toilet and made of very rugged plastics which give a reassuring feel to sit on. It can take a weight of 200kg which is over 30 stones – no problem even for the biggest campers. There are no chemicals in play at all which helps our water systems avoid getting contaminated. One of the most tasking parts of using portable toilet waste bags is handling them once they fill up. Maximum caution needs to be exercised to avoid it leaking or tearing and creating a mess.

Space is a premium in boats and tents, so if you’re willing to squat a little lower, and empty/ fill the tanks more frequently, the Thetford Porta Potti 335 is about as compact as you can get for a flushing loo. Keep these things in mind so you’re sure to get the right portable toilet for camping and not just a load of crap. How to Dispose of the Waste The loveable Luggable Loo. Go ahead, admit it…you love the name 🤣. The Luggable Loo truly is “luggable”.
