I just want to post a review about the 'Luggable Loo', i have to say this is THE best thing i have bought for camping. Being a lady who has had a couple of children, the pelvic floor is far from strong, and trapesing up to the toiket blocks at all hours really was not my idea of fun. So i have been looking for an alternative and came across the 'Luggable Loo' on this site. It is basically a strong bucket with a loo seat fit snuggly to the top, it has a lid and everything, and although it is reccomended that you use special toilet stuff to put in it, i put a pedal bin liner, which fits perfectly, with a bit of cat little in it, it was PERFECT, and only £19.99 an absolute bargain!!!
the other thing that was great about it was that the kids could also easily use it, which helps when you are busy cooking your gourmet meal on the camping stove and then one of them says, 'i need a wee', i know there were many a time this weekend when i could have lost the plot but didnt because it was a case of 'you know where it is'.
My friends have teased me about my luggable loo, but lets face it their the ones spending thousands of pounds for a static in cornwall for 2 weeks, now i have got my loo i am more than contented.
I just take them up to the rubbish with everything else in the morning, so nobody really knows what your doing (thinking about it, i hope this is environmentally healthy!!!!!!!!!!!)
I just used the tesco own brand this time and it worked really well (i think it was about 1.35 per bag it wasn t the value stuff!!!!!!!)
we have been away for 3 nights and i suppose 2 thirds of the bag has been used and i often wee in the night and the kids have used it every now and then in the day if that is of any help to you (apologies for too much information)
I've got the old Racasan version of the luggable loo. We've gone back to using this instead of the 'proper' flushing portapotty. I just take a small bottle of Ibcol or Zoflora to put in the bottom. It's much easier to empty than the portapotty, and it saves on space in the car too - a calor bottle and other bits'n'bobs will fit inside it. You can't carry anything inside a portapotty, so it's just dead space.
My friend Lyn also uses WAG bags with her luggable loo, but I think that biodegradeable bin liners + cat litter would probably be a good alternative. I have the full PETT system for use with my WAG bags so I think I'll stick to that for the time being!!
I also have this season persuaded my OH that we needed to get some kind of loo. We too went for the luggable loo and it is the best piece of camping equipement we've ever bought.
I did lots of research and reading and decided on this approach.... in our loo we take off the lid & seat and stretch a biodegradable pedal bin liner over the bucket, put back the lid & seat, then sprinkle in a few scoops of hanging basket crystals, oh and a squirt of zoflora for good measure. This seems to me to be a good environmentally sound method, the crystals absord the wetness (no number twos allowed!) and we tie the bag and dispose of with normal household waste.
Me and the kids use it first thing in the morning and OH if he's had extra beer and can't be bothered to go up to the toilets at 5am!
It is also useful for storage - it fits in the front box of our camplet packed with a bag of kitchen and washing up gear, dog bowls, etc.
