The design offers an integrated control panel, water filling unit and level indicator for the flush-water tank. This indicator and the level indicator of the waste-holding tank tell you when to empty the waste-holding tank. Besides the seat itself being comfortable, Thetford has also been generous with the seat opening. The seat opening on this toilet measures in at approximately 7 3/4″ wide x 11″ deep. This is larger than what you will often find in portable toilet options. This works perfectly for my solution and where my toilet is located but some people may experience an issue with not enough space on the sides. In this case, one of the front flushing models may work better. Gauges Galore Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much.

While not quite as comfortable as a home toilet, it’s the best I have seen on the market on a portable toilet.Some of the popular toilets on the market have a smaller opening than what this toilet has. In my experience, Thetford has made their toilet seat openings larger to accommodate adults. This makes it a comfortable option if you require a larger seat opening. It just feels better sitting on this than it does on one of the smaller options. As an example, the Dometic toilet that I recently reviewed has a smaller opening, making it feel too small for an adult to use on a regular basis.

Your legs are in the way of this so you will usually have to stand up to flush. This toilet allows you to accomplish this while still sitting down if you wish.
