Probably the most honest, transparent, hilarious review of a porta-potty ever!
Haha thanks! We opted not to include actual footage, but close enough 😆
Totally agree. His no nonsense, chill style is so fun to watch. Good script too!
@@theboonboxers what
Dude, I would have never in a million years thought I would spend 11 minutes and 1 second of my life watching a video on a port-a-potty. Then here you come with this, funny, educational, and absolutely brilliantly entertaining video. Thank goodness for CZcamss algorithm for recommended it. I dont know what you do for a living but I hope its in the entertainment industry.
haha that's great. Gotta love CZcams! Sorry we haven't made more videos then
HAHA Agreed!
Honestly I agree, you might try writing standup comedy the people would love you.
my motorhomes toilet is leaking and instead of fixing it i just opted to take out all there is and just put one of these in the bathroom. your video put my mind at rest that its a good solution.
Thank you for valuable info and tips! Just bought one here in Ukraine, not for camping though:( Getting ready for worst case scenarios at home
Omg. This is BY FAR the best toilet review on the internet 😂
hahah ;)
Thank you so much for talking about the toilet. I did not know how it worked. Great explanation
Definitely one of the most important things for us!! :)
Really refreshing how you have covered every aspect in detail and with such a brilliant lightheaded manner. Thanks. It certainly convinced me to buy one and start my vanlife journey. 😊
Best, honest and funny portable toilet review on You Tube. Thanks guys!
This is my first time to watch a potti video, which I was actually looking for. Very informative, pooper-friendly, and thank you much indeed!
Omg I found myself watching this whole video. 😂 I thought it was very well done and funny. My boo and I are camping soon and he sent this to me. I’m so excited now to go potty in the woods 😂 🙌🏽
I want to thank you for making this informative but at the same time entertaining video on a subject that sometimes tends to be taboo. You made me laugh while at the same time educating me about portable camp toilets.

...I've just bought one of these, but I haven't used it yet. I was thinking of getting one of those containers (about 2 litres or so, the ones you pump the plunger to build up pressure....and squirt) and use that first, before you start pumping the flush button. That way it will get everything moving down without unnecessarily filling up you storage part
Best video on the 365 I've seen. Thank you! I'm sold!
Glad you liked it! Here's to many poops in the woods
Glad I watched this before buying a porta potty for camping in my backyard. And, I LOVE your straightforward language and sense of humor. TYSM for telling us about using a porta potty and the "not - so - pleasant" side to them. Somewhat informative this video was !!! 💩💩💩
That's the best toilet vanlife review I've seen. With all the info and tips I've always wanted to know. Thanks! (Hard to fault but only thing I thought it missed was cost for tablets over time etc)
eyyy! Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to think cost wise for the chemicals... I'd say $8-10 a month (using full time)
Now I'm singing, "Doo-doo dit doo-doo da doo-doo dit doo-doo..." This video doesn't stink at all. Great stuff. I wonder if 1 flush before dumping would help avoid sticking/skid marks.
Probably not but some baby powder would!
Great video. I was dissapointed in the included instructions but you answered all my questions. Thank you :)
Best honest review and guidance 👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Straight to the Point and Fun to watch
I have never laughed 😅 so hard in my life! I will admit that you had some great information on portable toilets! Thanks for such an entertaining video!
Haha thanks Dianne ☺️
Excellent review....and pretty hilarious too!!🤣😂
Thanks for being so honest and funny 😄😆🤣😀
Gotta keep it real! Thanks for watching
Nice, fresh and refreshing explanation 👍👍👍✨
FRESH ;)
Best review yet!
eyyy! thanks!
This is the best video on this toilet. Thank you!
Very good review and good sense of humour. Thank you.😁
Thank you kindly
Good stuff man. Bout to pick up the Thetford 565E.
You are fantastic ! Well shared infos. Kinda funny too. Thanks for sharing bro 💕
Hot tip right there for ya… Let’s dive in… 😅
Bro, I can’t tell if you k ow how funny you are between being funny, and so here’s my thank you; compelling presentation! Lol
Hope you guys are okay been enjoying your videos have helped me compile my
Little boxy build .
I just found your channel and love it! I hope y'all do some up to date content soon. Best wishes
Haha never thought I’d find a camp toilet review amusing 😂great review
Awesome review,thank you! I really appreciate it!
cheers!
This might sound weird,, but I appreciate you being honest about going poop! Almost every video I watch, they always say they only go number #1. I'm like wth, I rather pooh in my own space and sometimes you just gotta go! Lol I love how honest y'all are about the marks too! It happens. 😅 Thanks for the laugh and for being honest. I'm surprised your other half could hold in her laugh while recording. You would have heard me "ugly" laugh the whole time. 😅 Y'all be safe on the road.
Haha right? We definitely use ours and put it to good use. Sometimes even if there is a pit toilet at a campground we opt to use our porta potti since it's more comfortable.
Gotta try and make some jokes 😂 she did laugh a few times, had to cut those parts... Ha. Thanks for watching!
@@theboonboxers haha love it!
Pooping in private is the single greatest luxury one can have in life pooping in a public space is just asking to get assaulted while you are in the most vulnerable state of your life. People don’t understand how dangerous it is to poop in public.

@@theboonboxers PLUS, it's likely a bit more safe in more ways than one. 😉
Good call on the Scott single ply. . . My "go to" as well! LOL! ;)
Cheap, available & passes the "water jar shake" test! :)
My wife hates composting (C-Head 'cline") & cassette toilets. . . So we rebuilt our standard RV toilet last summer. DID go to a macerator pump on our black & gray tank outlet. Does preclude the need for a dump station at a campground, etc.
NICE! Yeah I think the composting is overrated... BUT I actually haven't had a lot of experience with them. Sorry just getting back to your comments
Entertaining and informative!
Very informative review. Thanks!
Hey thanks!
very good video, thanks for all your explanations !
Glad it was helpful!
Dude, you did the business. Thank you.
Great vid. Very helpful
Awesome video!!!
Awesome this was super helpful.
Great video. I love how you explained everything. I just purchased SereneLife portable Toilet for our camping trip in August that we will set up in our shower/dressing room. I pee a lot lol much needed for tent and glamping Now I know how to poo in my portable potty lol😂😂😂😂.
Good work! Hopefully you have a lot of time pooping in the outdoors! 😂
Thankyou, good work !!
Great review, im just gonna get this just to get it😂. I experienced clogged toilets and couldn’t get a plumber out until later the next day. I figure this would be a great option. I can add this to my camping gear as well, already have a privacy tent for showers, might as well get the toilet
I think the flushing action is much better than the dometic one. Thanks for the detailed review!
Thanks for watching!
You should get way over a million views. Great ass video 👍👍👍
hahah thanks!!
I just bought new Four Wheel Camper and it was equipped with this brand. I will forever see your face when I look at it in my camper. Just kidding! Great Video!! Thanks!!
Great Video worth watching
-!thanks keep it up Brother God Bless 🙏🏻✝️
Yo thanks Pastor Dave!
Good review 👍🏽
Thanks for the thorough awesome video and with such great pesonality. One thing do you know how many centermeters across is the flush/drain. hole
🔥The electrical set up next💪🏿
Thanks for a VERY DETAILED video on this product, it was very informative and funny shit no pun intended,lol
Awesome video bro I'm from the city and really are debating on buying a box truck and converting it but my biggest concern is how 🤔 well would it perform off road if it's possible but again nice informative video especially on the type of toilet
awesome video, lol glad u an talk about this in a comedic way buddy, lol
You are hilarious 😂 Laughed so much 👍🏼
Thank you....great information & fun delivery 💩
Thanks for not thinking I'm full of crap! ;)
I have the same one but haven’t used it yet. Appreciate the pro tips lol.
Get outside and take a $hit!
I don't even go camping, so I've no idea why I've watched this video 🤣, but it was interesting 👍
sounds like it's time to get out and crap in the woods
Brilliant, and entertaining. You stated that you placed water into the flushing water but it had a blue hue - what do you add to the flush water? Anything special?😊
Cool 😎 👍 thanks
Well the best poo review I've seen ok the only one I have seen but still the best 👌 👍
ahahah good thing you're not a crazy poo review youtuber, that might be concerning
@@theboonboxers hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 😅 right
Funny and good looking!😋😍
Someone stole the toilet at the local police prescient. The theft has not been solved. Police have nothing to go on😎
What additive do you use in the flush/rinse water? (Love your video btw--best out there.)
Great video loved all the jokes
thanks thanks! Poop jokes are not my favorite... but a solid #2 ;)
Love my Thetford, have the electric flush one!
How is the flush?? Seemed like too many moving parts, but same size holding tank.
@@theboonboxers Super easy and responsive. I bought it because I thought it would make me feel better because it was more like a modern flush toilet and it does. I bought the floor plate also and it is great. However! And peeps may have noticed reviews about the flush mechanism breaking. I live where there's pretty mild winter but a few days when it did snow, the flush DID NOT WORK, no water would come out! I had started a return/exchange with Amazon but got busy with work. A few days later, it had warmed up and I tried to use it and it worked. I can only assume that water was frozen in the flush mechanisms/tubes or the batteries were too cold. I don't know if the one you have will or will not flush when the weather is, I don't know, below freezing. I have an electric blanket and toss it on it when it's below freezing since then. Overall, they are the nicest, real looking/feeling camping toilet with just about perfect height out there!
I’d like to see how you do a deep cleaning. I just acquired one that came used with my van. I don’t want to use it until I’m sure someone else’s “stuff” is gone.
Why don't you replace it
I notice when your pumped water in it was blue was that the aqua pot in clean tank to. Great review
Hey, we sometimes would use a little fresh tablet in there to help with the odor, didn't do it all the time, but I think it helps a bit
You crack me up!
To avoid the smell could you leave the valve closed while you do the business then close the lid, open the valve and flush with the lid down then close the valve again?
Maybe laying a couple of strips of toilet paper in the bowl before you dump would help with the skid marks too.
Definitely getting one of these, this one seems to be the best model.
Used one similar. Cassette toilet. Not as horrible as some candy a$$es say and get a more expensive one. I looked for Teepee that would work. Found septic safe type at any Dollar General, any Teepee that reads septic safe is suitable. Yes they make nice soft rolls also for precious bottoms, not just the basic sand paper rolls. I use a Cassette in my off grid, as a temporary, until I built in some thing more permanent...however it works fine and not that hanous to empty, clean and deodorize. Even guests visiting don't mind using if need to facilitate.
you should vlog your trips!!!
There is a shower curtains there are pop-up tents for camping.
I'll have to try the hot tip.
💩😉
thanks, u did better then the sales team.👌u know yr shit
I wonder if you waxed the bowl with car wax whether that would help stuff sticking to it?
To clean the toilet bowl use a spray bottle of all-purpose cleaner... also I use a rechargeable toilet brush... it makes cleaning the toilet a slam dunk.
You should post affiliate links! I just bought aquamax thanks to you. I am going for a different head however as I need one better suited for a sailboat but otherwise I would have bought the porta potty as well!
Anybody try a couple sprays of essential oils or something into the bowl first to make it slick and reduce staining? 🤔 I might have to try it when mine comes in next week haha good overview 🤙🏽
interesting... we use to do the pooparri or whatever, but you're still dealing with shit lol
My thoughts exactly but some kind of water repellent instead
sold...im getting that one
I wonder if spraying non stick cooking spray on the bowl would help minimize the do marks.
haha that "non-stick"!
Thanks for the review, not crappy at all! Yeah, sorry...I am a dad,
I wonder if a few sprays of non-stick cooking oil would help 🤔
Now that's a new one!! hahah I'll try anything once ;)
Visit the auto parts store and get some spray car wax. When the toilet is dry in the bowl, spray a couple shots of wax in the bowl. Let it dry. Cuts down on the skid marks.
next time you have some leftover gloss clear paint, epoxy (or) poly resin, clearcoat ?
simply skin the bowl. Envirotex left over from a fishing rod resto , just made my bowl slicker than...
Use some silicone wax on the bowl to keep the deuces from sticking!
Id rather use this then the public restroom at cades cove. Ever seen the restroom there in the middle of summer? After a rain there was a beatle in there the size of a soft ball!!!
Too many NASTY dump holes at campgrounds and trailheads. Worst bathrooms I've ever used.
Awesome.... now I m gettin 1 or 2 maybe...😂
Can you dump that in a vault toilet or only RV dump stations and flush toilets? Also, how long will that last before it needs to be emptied?
We have dumped ours in a vault toilet when last resort. Technically I don't think it's legal... That being said, we try to find flush toilets at parks and just make sure not to make a mess. It holds quite a bit of waste, I'd say for 1 person using it multiple times a day about a week. If you don't mind peeing in a separate container it could go much longer... But then starts to smell
@@theboonboxers thanks. I have a wife and two kids. I am hoping to get two or three days out of one.
Does anyone have any ideas on a type of coating one Can place on the inner bowl to facilitate the sliding? Also if anyone has one of these how do you store it? I lt doesn’t seem to require much ventilation but perhaps an airtight box of sorts will help if there ever is any smell?
yeah, I think it's just something you deal with. If you don't mind a little wipe out of the bowl if neccessary. We always drain and clean very well before storing. Sometimes will leave it outside to air out
If you give it a pump of flush first a wet bowl isn't as grippy for shitty😂
what about pam?
This was funny as hell lol
ha thanks man! Cheers
@@theboonboxers Lol, Sure man!
He is so funny. I'de buy one even if I don't need one. Haha.
haha I'm still waiting for my free one from the company for all the free marketing ;)
Is there a bio digester version of this kind of portable toilet
👍👍
Any issues with all the toilet paper actually breaking down and dumping out? It doesnt ever clog things up? Oh and what chemical are you using in the fresh water to flush with?
Do you fix it to the wall when you drive or dose it stand free?
Does
Hmm, think I'll install a roof fan above the can. ;)
“Let’s dive in”. Interesting choice of words…
Missed the opportunity to say multi-plies there hahahaha
Ah dang!! Math jokes! Haha
If you're off-grid, far away from a dump station, how do you go to the bathroom? How would you empty this porta potti? Do you just go pee and poop in the wilderness, and then where do you put your toilet paper?
