Mike Up,

WOW! Are you sloppy or something?

Never, with an open pit, never a mess. With a bowl full of water, of course. If you say you don't create a mess, you're just kidding yourself because your blind and don't see what the next person using it will.;) I've been using porta potties for 15+ years, I don't need a lesson on how to use them, I usually give them. I also have a Thetford with a 5 gallon waste tank section. I've had all types and the thetford is the least messy with a swing out pipe and vent button. Most have just a cap with no vent, and pour out chugging like a milk gallon jug starved for air.

dig a hole 8+" deep a min of 100 yards from any campsite or private land and save the top soil separate, slowly dump the waste tank and let it drain, then refill the hole and replace the top soil just like it was when you got there.

Is even spelled out this very way in many of the state's DNR or Federal Land rules and regulations, Look it up! We use our RV's 12 months a year and we are in Michigan 10 of those months in our area, the U.P., or even in cold Canada. You are in NW Indiana which is only roughly 120 miles south of us.

Yeh, my Aunt and Uncle had 10 acres up in the U.P. out in the middle of nowhere with 2 permanently parked campers. Yep, anything goes there. My parents were really shocked.

Doing that here will get you a fine, a ticket, and maybe worse depending on the officer. That's illegal in most states, dumping blackwater anywhere, but a registered septic tank.

Why do we prefer the tall Porta Potti? 2. can use it in winter

That's when I do use mine.

National Park Ranger watch us dumping into a dug hole and approved what we had done.

Wow, guess he may have been out in the boonies where that's acceptable. Read above, do that Indiana and you'll have a bad day if you get caught.

May come as a surprise to you that all the animals do NOT use toilets as they go right on the surface of the ground anywhere and guess where the fish do theirs or the birds?

Yes, but we're not animals and conservation officers and DNR expect us not to act like them either.

Geesh!!!
