Mark, you were the only person I saw that pointed out how to "clip in" the front of the p-potty before pushing it down after dumping. Mine wouldn't seat correctly, nor would the valve handle work correctly plus it outgassed as we drove. Due to not knowing this, the clips got bent. I got awesome customer service at our local Camping World who replaced the whole unit for me. Thank you for paying attention to this important detail and showing it in your video.

Perfect demo thanks, just got one and all the wiser now ,cheers

Looks like a great little toilet

Thanks for explaining how it functions. I did discover I am not a "good shot", so this might not be the right potti to purchase. (LOL)

Thanks Mark for explaining that

Good explaining.

So best to do is open it when taking a dump. In the official demo they open it when they flush it, but I guess you can have a problem then hehe. Thanks! Gonna use mine tomorrow for the first time.

You never put the blu down the middle as it can affect the rubber seal and cause a leak. It should always go down the tube. I was trained by Thetford when I worked in a camping shop and we were told many times not to do that.

Hi Mark toilet paper does it dissolve in the liquid?

How did you open the valve to pour thd solution? I saw one video that the only way it can be open is when you use the lever? Thanks

Just got a van and seller include the Thetford potti. One question, do I put water in the top portion of the toilet or not? The diagram that the company provided is horrible and has me very confused. Thanks.

Nice one mark 👍

No disrespect intended, but have you ever actually used your toilet? Your video was almost comical to me, as if you were looking at it for the very first time. As a 40 year veteran of using Thetford Porta Potties, I completely disagree with your method of use. Why on earth would you want to sit on the toilet, perhaps contemplating your movement which has still not arrived, with the shutter open, smelling anything and everything that had been dumped in there beforehand, perhaps by the rest of the family? Operational use is simple! 1 - put down two or three sheets of any toilet paper around the hole; 2 - sit there without any odors, do your bit, flush the piston at least two, preferably three times, which covers up any potential smells with water. 3 - Then and only then, when you have completed your deposit, open the shutter and release the deposit, closing up immediately you hear the load fall. 4 - then close the shutter. 5 - Use toilet paper to wipe your bum, one flush after each wipe and drop, and when finished, a final flush. 6 - Open the shutter and let the load fall through. You will find most times, that the wet paper actually cleans the sides near the hole. Magic!
