I know some of you might laugh but yesterday I bought a porta potty to use in my truck the same as campers use, I’m fed up of being caught short during the night when parked up where there are no toilet facilities, I was just wondering how many other drivers have one in their cab.
Will it also be a combination shower in the event of a rollover?
I have been thinking about trying to install a proper cassette loo like a motorhome for a while but price has put me off as I doubt I would use it most of the time only emergencies of the most urgent variety.
big gee:
Well Merc0447 I think its a bit more hygienic than a bucket, i don’t see how you can say its disgusting, I have the proper chemical to put in it.
Got to say even with the right chemical in it the thought of sleeping in the cab while my excrement is sat in the box next to me is really quite sick
Much rather put a bag in a bucket and then tie bag up and leave outside over night and put in a bin the next morning. Luckily never had to do it while I was nighting out, would be good to see the face on the security ■■■■■ when he wants to check your cab to see that staring back at him
I’ve got a thetford portaloo in the cab.
It fits under the passenger seat in my FH.
I need to pee a couple of times in the night and it is just the JOB.
It has the chemical in the tank,and a proper flush,why it has even got perfumed water additive.
I have been caught short once or twice, it beats ■■■■■■■■ in a carrier bag hands down.
And it gets cleaned regularly and properly unlike most msa/ truckstops.
I have a toilet in my hymer and I don’t really see the difference between that and having one in the cab.
I reckon quite a few female long haul driver use them also.
Go on get one bought.

I have 1 in my caravan too, the difference is simple - THE DOOR.
I don’t have the toilet next to my bed in my house or my caravan and I’m ■■■■■■ if I’m having 1 next to my bed in the truck.
I am lucky though, came off busses so I’ve got a super strong bladder and only pee twice a day MAX, and dump once a week.
BUT, I still insist on truck stops or MSA’s just incase that day is the day I need a dump - bad grub etc.

A dump once a week I can see why it wouldn’t be any good for you
When I worked for St Anne’s transport there was a dirty, filthy, smelly, disgusting, vile turd of a pig who carried one in his cab. The company had to steam clean and fumigate his cab when he left, it stunk worse than a Skunk and there were crap stains on the floor. I would rather walk a mile to find so loo’s or even better make sure you are parked nearer som than use one of those disgusting things.
You all need to speak to the owner of The Red Lion and tell him you need 24 hours facilities.
