G'day Atif,

The seal on the Porta Potti is good, but wether or not it smells will largely come down to the the toilet chemicals you're using.
Make sure to grab yourself some Aqua Kem Blue to add to your waste tank.

G'day John, 

The Thetford Porta Potti range has a load rating or user weight limit of 120kg, across all models.

G'day Paul,

To prolong the life of your toilet, it would be best to store the toilet dry and empty, even though chemicals are in the water they can wear off over time and bacteria and mould can still grow in the water. 

G'day David,

Theres not I'm sorry.  You may be able to find a generic duffle bag or other bag style to suit, but we dont have anything really in our range that would work.
You'd be looking at something around 25cm H x 85cm L x 45cm W

G'day Stephan,

There is some information in the user manual about storage, but just make sure that the unit has been cleaned, deodorised and completely emptied before storing. It is best to store it somewhere that has a relatively stable temperature and humidity. 

G'day Jason,

There are mounting options, but they are for indoor/in caravan use where the brackets can be screwed to the floor.
If this is to try and stabilise for outdoor use, pegs and ratchet straps would be the way to go, but it also may be woirth investigating with a local fabricator if they could make up a bracket for you with peg point tabs off the base.
I'm thinking something similar to metal gas bottle or jerry can holders for vehicles.  I have had luck with someone local to me making up some great stuff, so hopefully you can get a similar outcome!

G'day Miriam,

You're correct that it's just the shape and dimensions that are different.
The actual tank capacities are exactly the same, as is the flushing piston unless you want to go with the 565E which has an electric flush button.
As the 565 is slightly larger, it is also heavier, which may be a consideration if you need to move it around.

G'day Toops,

If the unit is completely empty, then yes, you can store it on the side. Once there is liquid in the unit we wouldn't recommend storing it on the side, as the seals aren't designed to provide a seal other than in the upright position.

G'day Sam,

Yes, you can flush toilet paper in the Porta Potti. We do sell Thetford toilet paper, or you can use any low ply toilet paper that will break down easily and quickly.

G'day Susie,

The AquaKem Blue dose is 150 ml per 20L waste-holding tank capacity, the AquaKem Pink dose is 100ml per 15L flush-water tank capacity.

G'day Aleisha,

There aren't any smaller bottles available from Thetford, but you could use the aqua-kem satchets instead to save weight/packing space.

G'day Ross,

There are two small bottles that come with some models and are stored in the rear of the holding tank. These bottles are sample bottles, so, unfortunately, you won't be able to fit 1L bottles in there.

G'day Beate,

The short answer is yes, you'll need to use something in the waste tank to breakdown the waste, otherwise, you're really just carrying around an expensive toilet when you could just be carrying a bucket with a seat. The Porta Potti's are designed to be used with something to break down the waste, you can get away with not using a flush tank additive, but the waste tank will need to have something added to it. If you're worried about using the high potency Thetford chemicals you could opt to go for Biomagic, which is biodegradable and grey water and septic safe.

G'day Beverly,

The Porta Potti 365 is the exact same size as the Porta Potti 165 with some slightly more premium features. The 365 has a piston style pump, while the 165 has a bellow style pump, the 365 also has a built-in holding tank indicator on the front so you'll know when it's time to empty it without having to open it up and check. 

G'day Derek,

The Aqua Kem Blue and Green are both designed to break down waste in the waste tank, with the difference being the Green is septic safe. The pink is a flush water additive to help keep the flush water clean and fragrant. We generally suggest that people buy one of each the green and pink, or blue and pink to begin with.

G'day Mark,

If you're planning to use this unit in the snow then I'm afraid the liquid will freeze in the snow, so we'd suggest storing the unit inside or going for something like the Thunder Down Under Toilet instead

G'day Cameron,

I managed to find a FAQ on the Thetford website and they indicate the following: 'Porta Potti: one time max load is 400kg; max loading in normal use is approx 120kg (6000 cycles)'. Hopefully that's helpful.

G'day Paul,

We don't recommend it mate, sorry!  Being corrosive, the salt water would destroy the inner rubber seals pretty quickly but if you did decide to use it, we would advise you to wash it thoroughly with fresh water as soon as you were able.  Also, I'm pretty sure that any damage due to salt water wouldn't be covered under the warranty either mate.  Cheers :)

G'day Johnny,

The Porta Potti Qube 365 can be used for all toileting. I'm assuming you mean 'number twos' when you say 'black waste', which will be absolutely fine.

G'day Leeanne,

We've taken a few snaps of the Thetford Portapotti Qube 365 fitting into the Oztrail Canvas Toilet Bag, which you can see attached. Cheers!

G'day Brad,

The Thetford Portapotti Qube 365 does fit inside the Oztrail Canvas Toilet Bag. 

G'day Eve,

Unfortunately, the Oztrail Canvas Toilet Bag is the only toilet bag we stock and Oztrail themselves are currently out of stock, which is why we're about a month away from having some stock. 

G'day Lyn,

You don't necessarily need to use the chemicals with the Thetford Portapotti Qube 365 but it would certainly make a positive difference if you did. 

G'day Mick,

Glad you mentioned it!

I've just done a run around and it looks as though we've only just ended that promotion as we've run out of stock of the carry bags. So we've quickly changed the images back to how they were.

If you have a second, please give us a call on 1300 914 007 - we'd like to make up for the blunder.
