Re: Portable Toilet


Teetor has the correct idea. I have a porta potty on 2 of my boats, I think they cost around $60 each and with the chemicals you do not smell the doodee.

Here's a story for you all.

Contractor working in a garage , customer leaves and for some reason the installer is prevented from entering the house to take care of nature, the installer is can not leave the job site, so he goes in a 5 gallon bucket in the garage, the customer pulls in the driveway and the garage door opener opens, the customer and her kid say him in the act, they call the store and want money for having to see this "act". This is a true story, it happened about 20 miles from me.

Re: Portable Toilet


We installed a real toilet in the back of the truck, mounted to the hole in floor, just add water and flush. JJ

Re: Portable Toilet


We used to go here http://www.key-biscayne.com/kb/event...regatta1.shtml in my bros trailersailer. The rule was that the first one to go #2 had to empty it, I never had to face the music.

I have a ton of good stories from there. We found it in '73 and it was an annual tradition until the mid 90's.

Re: Portable Toilet


Ron, where would you flush it? In front of the house, driving down the road? The only acceptable answer would be H Depots parking lot.

Re: Portable Toilet


HAHAHA!!! NICE! I know what to eat in the mornings and what to stay away from but it all depends on where the job is. Been there and done the 5 gal bucket of trash. Also done the gas station in dire need of sanitation run. I'm pretty good at dealing with the day. I drink lots of coffee and water so I'm always down for a wiz for the most part.

That porto-toilet top is funny and good *****(no pun) at the same time. I learned to keep TP, soap, and plastic chuckable gloves in the van for the just in cases!

Re: Portable Toilet


Just an FYI:

Hardees makes the strongest napkins around. Keep leftovers in the glove box. Very high tensile strength, hard to poke your fingers through when damp.
