 Gotta picka potti or two?
Review of Porta Pottie by
GrimTweaker
Advantages: Doubles up as an excellent temporary toilet
Disadvantages: Can be a bit heavy when it's full! And beware of "splash back!"
The Thetford Porta Potti 465 - to give it its full name - has been a godsend! Now, I'll 'fess up straight away. I am not a caravaner, and the last time I went camping was in the 1970s when I was a kid.
So why have I spent over a hundred quid on one of these? We've been having an extension built, and have lost the use of the bathroom and toilet. So, I installed a porta potti on the upstairs landing for Mrs Tweaker - who's heavily pregnant - while ...
