We use a Thetford cassette toilet. Works great. No issues, empty before we leave Campgrounds or flush down toilet at gas station. No stink. I disinfect it with bleach. I use the orange additive to a clean tank.
Only issue I ran into was at the Hoover Dam. The guys with the machine guns ( homeland security & border patrol agents) ordered me to remove the porta-potty so they could see it. It was in a contractor garbage bag, zip tied shut & ratchet strapped to the roof rack. I refused. I told them that there was no way I was gonna do that & possibly get arrested for spilling or splashing body fluids on an officer. It was a stand off. I told them to go ahead and search it but I'm not touching it. I asked them to get their Supervisor. He said he was a Supervisor. I said then make a decision. I never thought our porta-potty would be a matter of national security.
I am a retired LEO and I just didn't see the problem. You want to search it, go ahead. Nothing in the law says I have to assist in searching my own vehicle. So they held us for 35 minutes in the blazing hot 100°F heat, then told us to go.
