no trepidation
I outfitted a short bus for boondocking. One stipulation of my better half was the presence of a proper toilet, as she has to pee all the time and doesn't like to squat in the weeds. I didn't really want one in the bus...but I do like having her along (she likes to get nekkid outside) so I had to come up with something. After weeks of mulling this over I came up with an ideal solution for my situation. Maybe it might work for somebody else too.
It's a Thetford Curve porta-potti and baseplate (92360 & 92415) mounted inside a Hardigg military surplus shipping box. This box is JUST the right height to fit the toilet inside while mounted on it's baseplate. There is some space around the toilet for buttwipe, magazines, spare sandwiches, etc. The box is waterproof, made of thick sturdy plastic has a bunch of camlock clasps to retain the gasketed lid. I bolted mine to the rear deck on my bus, but with the gasketed box and seals inside the toilet I'm guessing it would be pretty odor-free even if mounted inside. I installed hinges on one side and a retainer strap to hold the lid vertical when in use.
