Q:I like the height of the 5.3 gallon, but really don't want to carry that heavy of waste...can it be dumped half filled?
by|Oct 15, 2021
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Of course! You can guesstimate how much fluid you've added to the waste tank (with flushes and pee-pee) then empty it at about "half filled". That would be at about 2 to 2 1/2 gallons.

Q:How do you know when it's full? I'm having a party outdoor and I think this is a great option so no one has to go inside.

Answer This Question

A:  You know that it is full, when you can no longer flush it. But, this only has capacity for 3 - 4 people, while camping, etc. It would have to be set up on a platform to e the height of a normal toilet. Plus you would need an enclosure. For a party, you would need a much larger one. Better yet, you can rent a porta potty, which would have capacity for party-goers.

    A:  You can look inside by pulling the "trap" open (like you have to do for someone to use it). I've used mine for several years and have had 40+ people at my 4th of July parties. A lot of people used it and it has never been FULL. However, for sanitary reasons, I do dump it and clean it after those big events.

      Q:How is the inside top portion cleansed after use if someone does #2? Does toilet paper go down easily?

      Answer This Question

      A:  There is water in the holding tank and, after use, you press the little pump and it rinses the bowl like a normal toilet (not as much pressure, though). The water rinse usually helps any paper go down as well. I've used mine for 3 years and numerous family functions and haven't had to clean up any real messes yet! Really not much different than a regular toilet.

      Q:Are mounting brackets included?

      Answer This Question

      A:  I am assuming you mean to mount to the floor or secure this to a wall? No brackets are included. This is a portable unit.

      by|Apr 4, 2021

      A:  No mounting brackets but I don't feel they are necessary. It's portable!

        I bought this Camco toilet for a 9 day road trip from Nevada to Michigan. The toilet worked very well and since I am a senior female it was very easy to use in my van and easy to carry to restops to dispose the waste. I was so glad I ordered it because with COVID my van became self contained! Thank you!!☯️
