Porta loos

[Tonyz]

moving workshop into a hired shed that has no dunny or back yard :D :oo:

I have access to an old Sun Mar composting toilet, its like sitting on a throne...seriously. The downside is the broken seat and it appears the seats are no longer available.

If I go new I am looking at $2K+ lot of spoondodles for 2 people using 3-4 times a week.
The other track that I wanted info on is there are many brands styles used for camping/caravans. I dont want a frame, seat amd bucket, hopefully something closer to the sun mar.

Thats where I am hoping our camping caravanners will offer suggestions

moving into a hired shed -- I get this necessity

no back yard -- I also get this restriction

no dunny in the hired shed -- I understand



composing toilet for 1-2 people -- this I don't get.

my understanding is that "composing toilets" need a "back yard" of some size, otherwise all the smell of the composing process occurs inside the hired shed -- which is more than less than ideal, and possibly against various health regulations.


your only option may be a regularly serviced porta loo

Search caravan composting toilets. Don’t know anything about them but they are becoming more popular for caravans & camper vans

If the seat is the only problem, why not make one out of timber? Once upon a time timber toilet seats were very fashionable. Either use some thick ply or laminate boards in two (or even three) layers at 90 degs to each other. Finish with gloss varnish. Having said that, I am not familiar with the design.

wish it was that easy Paul, unfortunately its the hinges system that is in the poo so to speak.

These are quite small, they also have a filter, or you can organise a fan to draw the extremely small odours you may encounter to an external area. Or just live with it.

There are some others available with a slightly smaller footprint, but keeping it simple like this is generally the best.

Just make sure that the seat has no splintered edges and is WELL sanded, it could be painful otherwise. DAMHIKT:D
