I Just got a 2006 Grandby with room for a porta potti. What make and model fits ? I looked at the dimensions of the Thetford 135 and it looks like it would be a tight fit.

what fits and what hits ?

Thanks

Hi Lance. I have a bobcat and use the Thetford marine model # 235. It was about $100 at amazon.Fits well in my space and has features that the standard units don't have. There is a thread about it some where but i can't find it . I posted pictures around the beginning of the year. Good luck.

For your own comfort get the tallest/largest model that will fit the space. The one that comes with a new FWC was too short and small for easy use.

DLN is right on! My Hawk originally came with the long couch on the right side. The space accommodated the Thetford porta potti that FWC installs. It was ok....but like DLN says.....it was a bit short.

Later, I had FWC tear out the couch and install the dinette. Part of that conversion was raising the height of the right side boxes by 3 inches. With the extra space available, I ordered a Thetford 465 with electric flush. What a nice upgrade. You will appreciate the extra height and capacity....especially on long trips.

i just cant standby and take any more of this: no interest in the alternative solutions already listed on this site? hmmmm?

come on.....messing with the chemicals...ugh....they make the problem a lot worse to deal with.

one leak in the camper interior and i am done. bumpy roads and a porta potti that is "holding" are not good.

Aside from that, you're dropping/storing turds less than 36" from where you're preparing your next meal.

Just something to think about...

No portapotti, no seat of any kind. WAG bags, simple way to take care of the daily duties. You go outside, open the package, spread out the appropriate bag on the ground, do a bombing run over the target, grab the bag, shake it up to spread the magic enzymes, seal everything up in the small outer bag, and toss it in the trash when you can.

No muss, no fuss, no odor, no searching for the prefect spot, we are not leaving a treasure behind for the next visitor to find, and we are not carrying around floaters in a bucket in the camper.

x2 on the PETT Wag bags.

Easy to use and good for multiple uses. I use the bags with the folding seat when camping in the truck. I bought the seat when I had a hurt knee and had a hard time squatting, now I like the seat because it is relaxing to use.

It is a good alternative to a holding tank system.

Hey guys we've had this pett versus wet debate already, the question was which model of porti-potti to use, not what type to use. If we keep this up the fisherman will freak out again.

Thanks for the reminder, sorry.
