What would be the max safe speed at which to use this while driving?

I always let Albert do the driving when I need the loo

Do you mean flow rate?

 

[Velma's Dad]

Do you mean flow rate?

Yes but you have to specify laminar or turbulent.

We two have a potti for our little botti's.
Mainly used at night its not a problem for the two of us as generally we get up at different times in the night. One of us stays in bed, to me its better than trekking to the sites loo's. Never had any smell issues and empty every couple of days . The Thetford we have has storage for the two small bottles which will last us a week. Best must have accessory we have.

We have a porta-potti but seldom need to use it - generally staying on campsites. But for less organised trips, I made a cover for it out of oilcloth, and we keep it behind the driver's seat. Put a tray on top of it and it's a handy coffee table.
At night (we sleep up top) the user can discreetly close the roof shutter for privacy. It doesn't work so well in the daytime though as we don't have privacy glass :-0

when wild camping we tend to find that the spade and damp doc leaf is the best alternative kit available and keeps the air fresh in the Cali. We invested in an umbrella for inclement weather!

Umbrella? If held upside down could be used for purpose.

Long as it's not flipped over before its contents are dispersed.

Very true, I managed one outside in Cumbria in sideways 80mph wind/blizzards. If you can pee there you can pee anywhere. Admittedly it was rather risky if you know what I mean.

That's where the phrase "getting your own back" originated from

In my experience dock leaf not very absorbent, worse than Izal toilet paper which was best used as tracing paper.

Or these. Disposable, similar in concept to The Bog in a Bag, but for male use only.

Only buy these if you're feeling flush.

OK if you know your dock leafs from your stinging nettles

One or two of these might be the answer. The question is............can they be made to swivel as well? Just don't use whilst your Cali is standing in the station.

Apologies to the non mathematical amongst you:

The contraption looks very similar to the Klein bottle, which for the layperson is simply a bottle with no inside or outside.

(For algebraic toplogists amongst you, the homotopy characterisation is......fill in the blank)

Well, if it doesn't swivel there would be no point in waiting for one's turn.

Save your money and find a bottle. My wife, point blank refuses to pee outside or on a travel potty, as she puts it.
Plus it's something else taking up space. It's not really a problem for blokes.
The biggest issue is finding a bottle with a big enough opening

plenty of bottles for this purpose on the market :

Best solution is to ask neighbouring Cali ownera to use theirs for a penny or two.

You can use a 1 litre measuring jug and then pour the results into the porta potti. Benefits, you can pee standing up, greatly reduced splash risk and, if you wish you can record volumes for a spread sheet.
And the container fits neatly inside the porta potti for travel.
What more can you want?

 

[Velma's Dad]

Be grateful the Cali doesn't have room for a VW-standard toilet. If it did, Hannover would presumably equip the thing with a 'scatological inspection shelf' (flachspeuler I believe).

(Anyone who's lived in Germany will know - with horrible flashbacks - what I mean. And if you haven't, you don't wanna know. Trust me).

 

[Amarillo]

Collapsible bottles:-

With a handy volume scale, so with the aid of a stopwatch you can calculate your average flow rate.

use your own sink

Can I just say, as somebody who spends a huge amount of his time running in the mountains and hills, mossy saxifrage is your friend

Failing that lush grass will do. As for a travel potty, I can't think of anything worse....

I do believe this thread has degenerated somewhat since it came on 'stream'.
