Pictures of a porta potty cabinet.

Postby glwt06 » Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:51 pm

Hi everyone,

I have had a request by my wife to find a way to install a RV toilet in our CT. I remember once seeing a picture of another member's CT build. He had made a box with a lid that held a toilet off the floor at the right height and kept it out of sight when not in use. I have searched for this picture and cannot find it. Does anyone else remember this? Has anyone else done this?

Thank you,

Paul

I purchased a Century 2.8 gal portable toilet. It's only about a foot tall. I would like to set it up off the floor. The box I remember seeing had a hinged lid that gave you access. I thought the idea looked great, but I didn't pay much attention at the time. I remember enough of the idea, but I just cannot seem to find the original picture or thread.

Thanks captd,

I looked through overthetop's thread and pictures. Unless I missed it, he appears to have a whole separate bathroom built. I'm looking for a free standing box. I think I have come up with a pretty good plan.

I appreciate the info and your time.

I had to go through his Blogspot page, and search for it. I did finally find it after some searching. I was interested to see what it was too. It's a Lovable Loo
http://humanurehandbook.com/store/LOVEABLE-LOO-Eco-Toilet.html

Looks ok, but I think I'll build mine. I'm toying with the idea of a long toilet seat, on a cut off kitchen can, using compactor bags with kitty litter... gotta get the measurements though.

The real trick is making it small and finding a place to put it...

I don't know about the hinges thing. But I did make a wooden box that sits my porta-potty up to a normal height. When not in use I flip the wooden box over, place the porta-potty in it and slide it under the Etrack bed. Works well for us if we need it.

first time I had to use the porta-potty for number 2 I was sick and couldn't make it to the campgrounds toilet
I like you found them to be to close to the ground hard to sit hard to get up first thing I did when I got home
was raise it to house toilet height about 14-16 inches.
I enclosed it in a two hinged lidded box, the lid covered the top and down the front folded up it became the back rest
worked very well too bad I sold the pop-up trailer

Since I rough it when I camp I don't have to worry about those porta potty's being too short. I am usually out where no else is.
I purchased this chair. http://www.discountramps.com/invacare-steel-commode.htm
I have a little privy shelter from Cabela's http://www.cabelas.com/product/Camping/Camp-Essentials/Showers-Toilets-Accessories|/pc/104795280/c/104709780/sc/104569380/Cabelas-Privy-Shelter/1322157.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fcamping-camp-essentials-showers-toilets-accessories%2F_%2FN-1100689%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104569380%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253Bcat104795280%253Bcat104709780&WTz_l=SBC%3Bcat104795280%3Bcat104709780%3Bcat104569380 that works for privacy when I am in a place where someone could come walking by. When it comes to nature calling this is much more comfortable than dealing with those tiny porta potty's, I can adjust the height to a comfortable level. Waste can then be disposed of in a proper way, and usually is not right next to my camp site. When it comes to the middle of the night a short walk is much better than smelling up the trailer.
As for taking up space I have modified the chair to fold up when not in use.

Hey Cam_TX,
Thanks for the link to the chair. My Dad is 92 and travels with me. This chair will work great right over the porta-potty and give him arms to grab on his way down. I could use the help myself.... :applause:

The portable toilet is a great idea and I give credit to who ever designed it,I bought the one that has the battery powered push buttom water fill.
The only thing I didn't like is haveing to dump and clean it so I cut a hole in the bottom of mine and bought a pvc drain and with some clear window caulking I sealed it and ran the pvc pipe down and then elbowed it and put a screw on cap on the end and for about 15.00 all I have to do is unscrew the cap and drain it then when I get home I take the water hose into the trailer and flush it out real good and refill the top part of the toilet.
It has worked great.
I have pictures in my gallery

The chair porta potty is a good idea if you need extra help.

After I put my porta potti in my trailer my sister requested a privacy curtain for this year. So I came up with this:
