Going back to a Pop Up

Back in our popup days the very first mod for any of them was the addition of a porta potti, 'though I would have preferred a cassette toilet with access to the waste tank from outside the trailer even more. Then we moved to a hybrid and I had to learn all about holding tanks ... took me but one trip to a dump station to realize that was about as dumb a process as there could be to ruin any camping trip so I invested in a FloJet waste macerator and created a setup at home so I could service the tanks with the trailer parked on the driveway. That system has worked well for me for over a dozen years but I nonetheless would have preferred the simplicity of a cassette toilet instead, even on a travel trailer, as I'd much rather take small containers of grey & black waste over to the dump station every other day than have to fool with permanently mounted waste tanks. Popups with a cassette toilet are a real attraction for me in this regard, it's unfortunate that more travel trailer manufacturers don't also offer this feature, especially in smaller models. :( As for one's wife "hating" a CP or porta potti I suspect that has more to do with the fact that they're just sitting out in the open rather than inside a real bathroom as is the case with with a flush toilet in a travel trailer. True, some large popups offer a wet bath CP/shower but it's still not the same to many of the genteel side as is a real bathroom with a door that locks. ;)
