That's what you get.

Bought this to use in our new enclosed trailer/toy tractor/bug house. I wasn't convinced after watching a few demo videos online. It looked a bit flimsy and I didn't have the inspiration to hit the BUY button at first. In the end after much research I decided this was the woman's option because it had a push button electric flush that was so simple and easy to use. In fact, it works just like the one in a friend's $25,000 RV that we both know very well, so no training is required. He does his job just as well. And thankfully, it's a lot stronger than I expected. Wanting something smaller, I just wasn't prepared for how durable and well built it actually is. I smile from ear to ear every time I look at him. In an ideal world, all shopping would be so convenient. The plastic is very high quality, almost like ceramic. Everything is connected by a strong, reliable lock. All covers, doors, latches, indicators and other mechanisms work properly. Seals close completely and become oily. Unlike most other portable camping toilets, this one is large enough to be very convenient and easy to use even for the elderly. When filled with water it's heavy and stable, although I bought an optional bracket to prevent tipping when towing. It also looks very good. It doesn't feel as "useful" or "industrial" as other options in this price range. As far as I can tell, the only significant difference between this and the $1,000 fixed cassette toilet (estimated price after the necessary, professional installation) is that I have to fill and remove the cassette from inside the RV, not from outside through one hatch . I think I can live with that. Plus, I installed this myself in minutes and it even takes up less than half the precious space. I too can take it anywhere like on a boat, hunting hoods or paired with an inexpensive "bathing tent" for family picnics and more. A person can also use it to potty train a child or place it by the bedside of people going through medical episodes that make it difficult for them to get to the toilet. It's very versatile. Simply a 5 star product. And by the way. I decided that if the "insanely expensive" pump stopped working, which happens often enough, I would just buy a whole new toilet for about the same price and thus have two sub-units. This would give me twice the black capacity and I would have to reset twice as often. On most trips I was able to return home without even changing my mind. There, in my yard, there is an easily accessible sewer cleaning facility that is much better suited for this purpose than an internal toilet. food for thought.
