We have to use an old porta potti on a 4inch plinth for extra height as in a wheelchair 99% of time.We have an end bathroom 1991 Abi Transtar. when we travel we need to keep it handy. So we were wondering if we could put this inside the shower place which we will never use as we use disabled toilets on site. When we are travelling or will it be too heavy and needs to go over the axle. My hefty manual wheelchair folded will be put just inside the c.van door as it is easier for Bob to get it out. I know we have to be careful weight wise. We have a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI CR 110BHP 4x4 DPF with the van is 1150 kg kerb weight. But we have a Reich economy mover on to help us move it about. So that is heavy already. But concerned with the toilet at this time will find out the weight of the mover.

Are we alright or not?

If its for a ladythen the SheWee portable female urinal maybe of some help, or even a convetional female urinal available form most disability shops and large branches of Boots chemists.

Thanks Julia but I wanted to know whether I should let the bigger porta potti stay in the shower place when travelling or have to move it over the axle.have to have access to it, but if it is safe its better out of the way.
