How do you handle no toilet in Pop Up?

Considering a used pop up camper for a short bed full size 3/4 ton truck.
A couple on my shortlist are....


2019 Norstar TC650 (without toilet). No cabinet for porta potty...it was used for additional battery

2004 Hallmark UTE XL (with toilet)

My camping locales include everything between no facilities (20%), to pit toilets (40%), to showers and toilets (40%).

Basically, deciding between the need to have a toilet or not in the pop up.

For those of you that have pop ups without a dedicated toilet, how do you handle your business....porta-potty, wag bags, ??

Thanks!

    At this stage of life I would eliminate the 20% of locations with no facilities. Otherwise may as well have a tent and backpack.

    Even the cassette toilet in my old pop-up trailer did not work that well for us. Moved to pulling a trailer to have and actual bathroom.

    I have to echo big jeff. After years of tent camping, I really enjoy having a toilet and would never want to go back to the old days of outhouses or digging a hole.

    Well I have no pop up but will still give you my 2 cents worth anyway, for free! I've camped all my life and used the portable toilet for years with a portable outhouse type wall. When I was looking for my truck camper I knew I wanted a full, dry bath. Your getting a pop up camper with no bath/toilet.. your spending a large amount of cash for a tent in your truck bed. And yes, I LOVE my bathroom and truck camper.
