I thought you could buy them separately? Maybe have a chat with some of the camping stores. They will just need the dimensions for your toilet.
Our bag is a few years old now so the handles aren't much chop, but the bag is still good.

They seal completely and don't leak.
If that isn't easy to come by, go to a local dive shop. They sell dive bags that seal completely.
Might be a bit pricey, but what price do you put on not having to clean that mess up??? ???

The only "problem" we have ever had with ours if its been a hot day and the toilet is all sealed up there is sometimes a build up of pressure in it and when the slide is opened the pressure is released and well I'll let you work out the rest from there..........

I put mine in the back of the vehicle, hang on, that is just a shovel, the paper goes on the dash. I honestly cannot fathom the need to take a toilet on the road, when a shovel will suffice perfectly. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

Some of the station stays etc are making you have a chem toilet as a condition of staying on them these days.. So if you wanna go.. You need somewhere to go.

Before we bought our little camping trailer, we carried it in the back of the car, then in the front compartment of the trailer. We have never had issues with leaks or smell.
When we get our new CT it will have a home in the front storage compartment without any bag. If we need to, we will dig a hole and bury the contents, give it a swirl with clean water and then store it.

Just a bit concerned about the chemicals needed and the availability of dump points

Growing up, and even now, my dad has always owned a yatch. On a few of the old one he had, we used to have a porta potti. Wehave done lots of off shore sailing in all sorts of weather, and the PP never leaked. So when it came time for me to buy one, i had faith in the thetford brand.

Was going to ask how often they need to be emptied, but that would depend on many unanswerables!

Ok so now comes the question of size, which one for a family of 4?

We got the Thetford 365 Cube as it is close to the height of a standard toilet and also has a bigger holding capacity. We were hoping to fit it in the tool box but it was about 1cm too wide LOL. Which is why I was asking about what to store it in.

Use this and dump in any toilet http://www.biomagic.com.au/ (http://www.biomagic.com.au/)

I have heard it's not all that good and expensive?
Napisan can be emptied into any toilet or buried and is the cheapest option.

I was driving down a really steep lumpy track (the type you need heavily modified 4x4s for, i.e. body lift, aggressive mud terrains, suspension lift, lockers, etc. You get the idea).
Anyway, the cheap plastic container split and the ratchet straps came off and the toilet rolled around the back cargo area up from the back doors to the cargo barrier upside down while jumping up and down.
I couldn't stop until I got to the bottom of the hill.
Toilet didn't break or leak. I can't think of anything better to say about them.
P.s. toilet was not empty either. Both water and waste tanks.

Is that how you got your username for the forum?? ;D

You don't need to buy chemicals for it, just buy woolies brand napisan and mix with water, 1 lid full to 1/2 a lt of water. It works a treat and there is no smell.
Do you use powder or liquid? Napisan PLUS or Oxi-action?. I read somewhere it depends on the Sodium Percarbonate percentage?
We have used the Aqua Kem® Green liquid and satchels, it seems to break the waste down. but upon emptying there is still a nasty smell.

Lives in the toolbox, in a canvas bag (oztrail one).
Has never leaked.
Use Napisan (whatever is in the cupboard is the one I use)
Cleaning it is a sh!t job.

Ours too gets stored in a vinyl bag, which in turn gets put in the gulwing box on the KK. We've never had any trouble with it leaking or smelling. We do occaisionally take it with us on day trips to find a dump point to empty it if there is not somewhere to empty it where we are camped and have never had any issues with it.
