The company will also wipe down the surfaces inside the toilet with bacteria removing agents and replace the toilet roll and hand washing soap and towels. Capacity levels are reasonable at around 8 litres for each compartment, and the size of the Blue Diamond is good at 42 (H) x 32 (W) x 52 (D) cm. The Carplife loo also comes with 12 biodegradable liner bags – you simply attach one of these inside the toilet underneath the seat and… bombs away!

It’s a good question in all honesty, because the toilet doesn’t even include a flush – perhaps there is a bit of bandwagon jumping with the eco-theme, but we do think it has a purpose and a place in the field.

Waterless options: These are environmentally friendly and require no chemicals, but they have limitations.Space is a premium in boats and tents, so if you’re willing to squat a little lower, and empty/ fill the tanks more frequently, the Thetford Porta Potti 335 is about as compact as you can get for a flushing loo. Using a Bonlife Ottoman also gives you an extra seat in your van and is available in six natty colours.

It may be something we avoid in polite conversation, but even on a campsite, you’ll need somewhere to ‘go’. Overall, the Hi-Gear portable loo is fantastic value but it does have the downside that it cannot be collapsed down.Not cleaning your portable toilets can also have repercussions for the environment, especially if any of the fluid leaks into the surrounding area.
