Most drivers that do wouldn't notice anyways. :lol:

 

There are several different brands of formaldehyde-based holding-tank treatments that you can use in your porta-potti. Star-Brite makes a really good one that's available at any number of boating, camping and sporting-goods stores. Besides, you will most likely have daytime access to multiple places where you can empty the holding tank, so it's not like it's sitting there brewing sludge for weeks at a time.

My own porta-potti is there for night-time use, and usually only for peeing in, with emergency exceptions. Daytime and in places I view as safe and clean, I will use whatever other facilities are available.

 

Before your emergency need of a trash can that doubles as a sh!tter you had better hope you visited the sporting goods sections and instead of buying that fishing pole and jiggs or gun and shells YOU had better pray you remember the sanitizer for the toilet.

Yeah right. Guys do not think of that stuff in the sporting goods store.

Sure you might have gone in for it but you will come out with a whole lot more and no cleaner for your trucker crapper.

 

I know that at my house I run down the block to the conoco to go potty because I would never take crap in my own home... :roll:

 

Well,I'm not a trucker (yet) but I would defenitely keep something in my truck in case of emergency only,not that I would use it every day.
Believe me if there's a patch of woods nearby that's where my bathroom will be if that's all I had available,but what if stuck in traffic for hours or customers with "ABSOLUTELY NO TRUCKERS" bathrooms etc. etc.
I think it would be invaluable to have something in your truck for those situations.

 

Good for you that is very conciderate.

Side note did you see The Wild Hoggs movie. I loved the scene where the clerk at a mini mart was talking about the trucker that sh!t a whole cow and clogged the toilet.

That movie cracked me up. :lol:

(1) if you're not a cheap ass and actually spend the $10.00 a bottle for the THETFORD holding tank deodorant- then there's no odor at all...use a little common sense and spray some airspray "just like you would" when you crap
at home...and everything is fine...plus you just avoided picking up "the clap" from that PUBLIC restroom toilet seat.

(2) Only use it when you have to. And it's urgent.

(3) I empty mine out every time I'm home, or in Iowa, Oklahoma, Georga--
these are the best Rest areas with RV clean out outside (I would have to be really hard up to actually carry it indoors to a public building restroom.

 

Here's an actual real life story where a porta potti came in very handy.

Do you know how much the fine is for not having your Log Book Current in Pa these days?

Well, I overslept one morning...got up and "put 'er in the wind" without updating my Logbook. Pa DOT sets up in the Rest Areas...and this morning they had a suprise waiting on me on I-84. Now, If I had had my CB on...I might have known about it early enough, but I didn't . So, there I was, I drove right up to within sight of the flashing sign. Pulled 'er over to the shoulder and climbed in the sleeper with the log book. Minutes later, a Trooper was standing on my running board knocking on my driver's window.

I just waved the roll of T-Paper from out from behind the bunk curtain and continued to frantically draw those lines in the book emerging minutes later----Hey, when Nature calls.....it counts as an Emergency STOP.

 

just hang your butt out the window and go.
works best if you drive a brown truck
