Hi

We have just bought one of those small tents that everyone knows is for a toilet but they call it a utility tent ;)

So the question is what toilet should we put in there, is one better than another?

We will have about 15 people who may use it whilst we are away, so any suggestions would be great.

Try to keep them clean please, the answers obviously and hopefully the toilet too ;)

NEWBIE, only ever been camping once, bought the tent and looking for advice :)

Depends how sensitive you are. I still have an Elsan Bristol "bucket & chuck-it" but you need to be SAS standard living-in-the-wild to stomach one of those. It's not too bad using it to crap in, but speaking as an ardent admirer of the British beer retail industry (a.k.a. pubs) I often have to throw up in the damn thing.
With 15 people scheduled to use it, I think the first thing to consider is "who is going to empty it?".
The holding tanks on the various models of Porta-Potti have differing capacity; go for the biggest!
