i just trialed the Thetford 550P, worked well.  I might deploy it with hold downs (top heavy when regenerated) and have added a tuperware container to keep the toilet paper dry.

I bought a Reliance Hassock potty on Amazon for $20.  We have used it as a step stool to reach the Grandby's latches.   My son also used it as a seat when he wanted to play video games.  I put a small bucket inside ( triple layers!) for ease in emptying.  It has an inner lid for tp.  And it fits in the corner under the couch.

We put cat/dog poo and dirty diapers in the trash all the time.......

I think this has already been discussed here and here.

We use the Clean Waste system and WAG bags also. 

 

I like the idea of kitty litter in a bag. The plus sides i see are, it is lite, no water/flush weight involved to haul around. Another plus is simple-nothing to go wrong. Bring kitty litter & bags.

I'm curious though-how do you dispose of it? From a Public health perspective it is significantly "less than ideal" to dispose of human waste into trash cans/bins. I think most forest service pit type of restrooms would frown (at least) on a bag going in, and dumping it in the pit out of the bag doesn't sound like much fun.....

Just curious...??

Did a little research to answer my own question.

 

 

Also REI has some bags you buy for such purposes, it has some special powder that makes the poop and bag ok to dispose in trash.

addnl.

If you use "special doggy poop bags" that are biodegradable, then they should be fine to be dumped into a forest service/park pit type toilet. You can do a search for sources on the web-they're there.

We also use this set up. My family even finds this to be a comfortable option while camping. From what I understand the US Nat Parks consider them to be 'trash can friendly'.
