G'day Tommy,

No recommendations, sorry - unfortunately poop smells.
You could look double bagging, and air freshner or some kind of odour neutraliser that you can get from a hardware store.

G'day Tom,

Not that we're aware of, sorry - I'd say the seat size is determined by the size of the bucket itself, so can't be made much bigger.
You could probably look into a DIY option using a larger bucket and conventional toilet seat.

G'day Kylie,

Something like Orange Oil or White Spirits might do the trick!

G'day Ryan,

The dump point is the best bet for these.  I'd suggest not having a loaded bag, and having a few smaller ones.
Alternatively, you can use the bucket as is without a bag and tip it into the closest toilet if able to do so regularly...or use some loo chemicals/additives and take it to a dump point - they usually have a tap and hose for washing out porta potties anyway which you can use to clean out your bucket.

Hope that helps.

G'day Sharyn,

Its essentially a heavy-duty plastic bucket, so I can't see any reason why you couldn't.
The only consideration would be long-term UV exposure, so I'd say you may get a shorter life span out of it than if it was stored and used occasionally, but I think that's to be expected.
Ideally keep it in a shady spot, or ideally in an ensuite style tent / sheltered area.
Hope that helps!

G'day Wayne,

We've checked into this with the manufacturer before, and they've indicated that as they are bio-degradable they will break down over time in a long drop toilet. Different types of long drop toilets work in different ways, so it would be worth checking with the local parks service, or relevant authority regarding their policies around drop toilets.

G'day Mike,

This will largely depend on when you're camped and the options you've got. The bags are 100% biodegradable, so can be buried, if done so appropriately for the region/area you're in. If you're camped somewhere where this isn't possible - e.g. close to a water source/beach, then you'd need to carry it out with you and dump the waste into a toilet dump point, and the bag in a rubbish bin.

G'day Narelle,

The lid has a deep groove around the perimeter which fits securely on to the bucket. Its recommended to change the bag daily (depending) and someone even suggested putting kitty litter in the ba to help with clumping and smells!

G'day Eduardo,

We'd suggest replacing the bag approximately once per day. If you're wanting to reduce smell you could use it with sawdust or something similar to help reduce the smell.

G'day Mike,

The bucket measures 32cm from the outer rim.
Hope that helps!

G'day Susan,

The Thunder Down Under Toilet is supplied with a lid and toilet set in one. They appear to be the same as a standard fishing style bucket so I would assume one of those lids will fit this bucket too. Unfortunately, I don't have any of that style bucket to check for you though.

G'day Ann-maree,

Unfortunately, the Thunder Down Under only comes in the 36cm bucket height.  The seat clicks snugly in place to the lip of the bucket which could be hard to match up to another generic bucket style, especially of the same diameter, but if you were willing to put the time into some research, maybe you might find something shallower through a plastic manufacturer..?  Otherwise we do stock the Thetford Porta Potti 335 which has a slightly lower seat at 30.8cm however it is a much more complete unit which is reflective in its price.  Cheers :) 

G'day Tony,

Excellent question. Unfortunately, we're not entirely sure. The Elemental Thunder Down Under Toilet doesn't come with any official weight capacity or limits and hasn't been tested for a maximum weight. All we can really say is just to keep in mind that it is a bucket type material and might not be as strong as some of the other, well-built, more expensive alternatives.
