Our portable toilet directory features products from Thetford, Dometic, Kampa and more.
Having the best portable toilet for your campervan can really make a difference to your experience while traveling, giving you the flexibility of knowing you can use the toilet at any time.
While some models that made it to our best bus guide, like the Ford Nugget Plus, come with a fixed toilet, some, like the Volkswagen Caddy California, don't. This is where having a portable toilet can come into its own – for example, if you're dropped off at a campsite and it's the middle of the night, you don't need to rush to the facilities building if you need to go.
In this guide, we're sharing our pick of the best portable camping toilets, featuring brands like Thetford, Dometic and Kampa.
The best portable toilets in a camper are:
Thetford Porta Potti 165
- Open dimensions: 41.4 x 39 x 43cm
- Weight: 3.90 kg
- Waste Tank Capacity: 21 L
- Rinsing tank capacity: 15 litres
Reason to Buy:
- Good tank capacity and light weight
Reason to Avoid:
- No level indicator
This portable camper toilet is manufactured by Thetford, a well-known and trusted name in the touring world.
Consisting of two sections that can be easily separated, the Porta Potty 165 provides durability and practicality. The lower section contains the waste tank (21 litres), while the upper section contains the rinse water tank (15 litres) and bowl, as well as a detachable lid and seat. .
We like that you can add any liquid or flush water directly to the 165's flush tank, which is operated by a blower pump.
Another feature we appreciate is the useful vent button – this means you should avoid splashing when it's time to empty it, which helps make the process more pleasant.
Thetford Porta Potty365

- Waste tank capacity: 21 litres
- Rinsing tank capacity: 15 litres
- Weight: 4 kilograms
Reason for purchasing:
- Useful level indicator, good tank capacity
Reason to Avoid:
- There was no toilet paper holder
Unlike the Thetford Porta Potti 165, the 365 is a portabletoilet for your campervan that operates with a piston pump.
We also appreciate the level indicator that comes with thismore expensive option, giving you advance warning when the tank needs to be
emptied. When the time comes, you can use the vent button and lock the lid to
make the process a little easier – and the first one also means you should
avoid splashing too.
As with the 165, the two separate sections of the Thetfordproduct are easy to assemble and then disassemble as required. The waste tank
has a capacity of 21 litres, while the overflow tank offers 15 litres.
Thetford Porta Potty 565 E
- Dimensions: 44.8×38.8×45.0 cm
- Waste tank capacity: 21 litres
- Rinsing tank capacity: 15 litres
- Weight: 5 kilograms
Reason to Buy:
- Electric flush, toilet roll holder
Reason to Avoid:
- Expensive price
The Thetford 565E is the only electric flow option on our list, which requires batteries to operate. We like the inclusion of a level indicator for both the waste and waste water tanks – both of which are capable of holding 21 liters and 15 litres, respectively.
It has a sleek design, and even comes with a built-in toilet paper holder for added convenience, with the tradeoff being a slightly larger design.
It's pricey, but if you're looking for a more luxurious portable toilets, this could be the option for you.
