I've used these units in my Freightliner truck for almost five years now and they are an absolute life-saver for me. This unit fits perfectly in the unusable space where a built-in fridge would normally go, with room left over on top for an extra shelf. I store it there when driving down the road, and at night I pull it out and place it between the seats.

It allows me to spend the night in rough areas without ever having to leave the safety of the truck cab, park overnight at customers (which almost never make facilities available to truck drivers) and more than once has come in handy during long-duration traffic stoppages.

It's all plastic and I'm rather rough with mine. If I keep the moving parts well-lubricated with vaseline I'm less likely to break off the dump handle from kicking it closed at night. (It's still usable without the handle, just a little harder to grasp what's left of the original flat handle.) You can track down the manufacturer and order some replacement parts (I've spares for the two removable lids and the big rubber gasket.)

I clean the inside of the base with holding tank cleaner I got at an RV dealer, this keeps gunk from building up around/within the gasket crevices and reduces leakage problems, especially when I overfill the unit. I don't use regular household toilet bowl cleaner because I'm unsure what those products would do to the plastic and rubber construction.

I won't drive truck without one. They don't last forever under daily abuse but they're inexpensive enough that I just buy a new one and use the older one for parts. It's a tax deduction for me and worth every penny.

The only downside with this unit I've experienced is that the little window that indicates the fluid level inside the base invaribly gunks up and quickly becomes useless, and I haven't ever found a way to reach it to clean it. The RV holding tank cleaner hasn't ever un-gunked it for me. It's a minor issue and I haven't missed it much, it's easier to check the level when flushing it, anyway.

I wish more drivers would invest in one of these, it would make the roadside a lot cleaner (and if you're a driver, you know what I'm referring to here!)

I just got my passport potty 8L and I love it! I have seen reviews where people are griping it is too small... On a boat, space is at a premium and I for one appreciate the small size of this porty potty! Geez...how big of a throne do you need anyways?

This Porti-potty is very small and cheap. I would suggest spending a few dollars more for a larger one. Also it is better to buy one with a snorkle for ease of dumping.
