972 Portable Toilet

Great Product

We were looking around for a replacement toilet. Having decided on this particular loo we when price comparing. Cheapest price and delivered when promised.

Some serious design issues with this...

We purchased this to go to Tasmania (not backpacking, clearly!). Some areas require you to be self contained. This seemed like a decent product, and the price was great. I made a small flat-pack riser base for it - it does sit uncomfortably low to the ground. All good. BUT - during our camp on the Savage river, the pull-out 'valve' mechanism that seals the lower waste tank ceased to seal! Fortunately the toilet lives in the canopy in the back of the ute, and not in the passenger cabin! Upon return to SA, Snowy's arranged for a new lower tank, and that was fine (can't fault Snowy's service!). But our recent trip to Lake Eyre was interrupted by a detour en-route to Snowy's to buy a complete new unit! The new lower tank had never been used, and when the handle was pulled out prior to leaving, the same failure had occurred. The sealing mechanism is a gate valve and the plastic guides seem either inadequate or there is too much flex. So the thing just doesn't seem fit for purpose. Naturally we purchased other brand :) The other issue to consider is the small size of the unit (front to back). Particularly if you are male :)

Thanks for sharing, Kev... although, I'm sorry to hear that the toilet you received was a bit of a dud. Glad we were able to sort something else for you. Laine :)
