When we first got our van 12 years ago, the toilet was broke. The older design had just one holding tank, for the black, and the grey was drained on the ground. This is the 1972 design. I removed the broke toilet, screwed a plug in the top of the tank, then glued a sheet of plastic wall cover over the flat section of the shower floor where the toilet set. Then changed the grey water to flow into the holding tank. We got a Therford Porta Potty. I had to look hard to find a hold down kit to keep it from sliding around in the shower. It has worked good for us. One note is the porta potty is not vented so as you change altitude there can be a build up of pressure inside.
As I aged, it got a little harder to get the potty out of the shower door, a real tight fit. We decided to go to a regular toilet, so now I have a brown water tank. Just need to make very sure it does not get full, or it will back up into the shower. My tank is 28 gallons.
Works for us, happy camping.
