The Pett Potty SystemThe Basics:
The Pett Potty, which is the size of a standard toilet, is portable and can be used anywhere. There is no assembly required and it sets up in seconds by popping out the 3 locking legs. Made from molded plastic, this portable toilet was tested to withstand the front end of a truck on 2 toilets. Each toilet has a removable mesh liner that supports the weight of the collection bags (Wag Bags).
Along with being extremely convenient, it is also eco-friendly. The Pett Potty uses Wag Bags that will degrade just as the waste inside does and they are landfill approved. Contained inside these zip close Wag Bags is the patented Poo Powder. This powder is comprised of a patented mix of a non-toxic polymer based absorbent, along with an organic decay catalyst & odor neutralizer that break down in landfill conditions after 6-8 months. The powder transforms liquid waste into solid which allows for spill proof disposal. Each Wag Bag kit also includes toilet paper and a sanitary wipe. The bags are able to handle up to 32 ounces of liquid and solid waste which allows for numerous uses.
For a little privacy, there is the Pup Tent privacy shelter. Weighing only 6.8 pounds, the tent is made from flame retardant Taffeta and it sets up in seconds. Poles and connectors are attached to the tent which allows the user to pull the lanyard at the top of the tent and lock the legs into place. The floorless Pup tent stands 6’6” and has 3 screened windows for ventilation and a convenient storage pocket.

Testing:
We tested the Pett Potty System in the Sonoran Desert National Park while camping with 2 extremely pregnant women in tow. As you can understand with one pregnant woman let alone 2, this toilet got a lot of use! It was very sturdy and could withstand 250+lbs. The set up was a synch as it only requires you to pop out the 3 legs and lock them in place. It was comfortable and a nice change from having to dig your own hole.
The Wag Bags were big and easy to install in the toilet. The powder did everything it is supposed to do and there was no odor...none! The only negative aspect that I can see is that for such a large bag, it could have contained more powder allowing for additional uses. Also the zip close carrier bag is rather small in comparison to the collection bag, so if you were to have too much "stuff" in the collection bag, then insertion into the carrier could be a problem.
The Pup tent was extremely light weight and easy to set up. One person could easily handle this on their own. The storage pocket came in handy for storing extra toilet paper as the sheet that is contained in the kit is hardly enough.
We tested this tent on a day when the winds were 25+ mph. Standing alone, this tent was so flimsy that it could have become a kite. We used the ropes and stakes that were contained with the tent to anchor it down. Using the tie downs were confusing and I am not entirely sure we used them correctly, but they did a good job holding the tent in place.
** Special Thank to our model, "Articulate"***
All and all the toilet is GREAT! It is light and doesn’t take up much cargo room. The Wag Bags are clean and easy to use and give you another use for that ammo can on the back of your rig!
