Best Portable toilet
Camco 4154 portable toilet
The other two portable toilets are generally designed for infrequent use, since campers and hikers are often more concerned with the "portability" aspect of portable toilets.
But if you need the toilet for longer and regular use, if you own an RV, truck driver or cabin owner, you may prefer the Camco 4154 portable toilet.
This Camco model is an independent unit, with a light construction and 5.3 gallon holding tank. The discharge mechanism takes a small amount of fresh water, using a bellows-type pump to discharge water into the tank for waste disposal.
The seat itself is about 16.5 inches tall, and the unit weighs 11.5 pounds when it is empty. The top and sides have handles for easy transport, and the waste tank is secured to the top of the toilet with latches on the side.
The waste tank has a sliding gate valve to prevent odors and water leaks. Deodorizing packs can be purchased to get more power to fight off odors. The removal is relatively simple: the lower tank is removable and has a pull tab to empty.
Pros:
Compared to the other two portable options on this list, the Camco 4154 is probably the most similar to a domestic toilet. Its use is not limited to the outdoors, like the Green Elephant, and the Camco will be much more comfortable and pleasant to use for long periods of time than the Luggable Loo.
These factors make it a better option for prolonged use. If you are looking for a toilet for your motor home, farm or boat, the Camco is definitely worth checking out.
In addition, any owner of Camco states that the unit, when used correctly, does not smell at all. Particularly for RV owners and trailers, the escape of odors is a main concern. Buyers said that the sanitary packages included made a big difference in keeping the odors in the waste compartments to a minimum.
The last potential buyer that many potential buyers will find attractive is the relatively low price and value of the Camco 4154. This top quality portable toilet is less expensive than other similar models, even those with lower ratings.
Cons:
An important criticism among the negative critics was the location of the water tank. For washing purposes, the 2.5 gallon fresh water tank is located on the top of the unit. This makes the Camco a bit heavy when the water tank is full but the waste tank is empty.
Because of this element, it is important that RV owners and those who transport the Camco in a vehicle want to find a way to secure this toilet when they are in motion. They said that it is quite heavy and prone to lean (which obviously can be quite unpleasant). You probably want to insure it to travel with an elastic cord or other straps.
In addition, there was a significant number of people who pointed out that the tab of the removable lever has a tendency to get stuck with time. Many owners came up with creative solutions to this problem: one critic suggested olive oil, while another used petroleum jelly to grease the lever. They said that really any lubricant, even something like the WD40, made a big difference.
Finally, the Camco seat measures 13 inches wide, which can be a bit too small for constant comfort for certain campers.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a long-term solution for plumbing problems, the Camco is our recommendation for you. Some small design flaws do not undermine the largely positive opinion that most users have toward this portable toilet.
