Thetford 92306 Porta Potti 565E (Electric) Portable Toilet, White-Grey, 448 x 388 x 450 mm

Product Information

If ever a toilet could bear a ‘designer label’ then this is the one. From the inventor of the portable toilet, we bring you the Porta Potti 565E from Thetford. Purposefully compact for ultra-tight storage spaces such as those found in campervans and trailer tents etc., the Thetford Porta Potti 145 is a comfortable, practical Portable Toilet. All Thetford Toilets are easy to clean and maintain.

Some of the popular toilets on the market have a smaller opening than what this toilet has. In my experience, Thetford has made their toilet seat openings larger to accommodate adults. This makes it a comfortable option if you require a larger seat opening. It just feels better sitting on this than it does on one of the smaller options. With the electric flush, there is only one speed of flushing: wide open! When you push the button, it’s the same sound each time. It’s also the same amount of gushing water coming out each time which you could control better with the manual pump. If you pump the manual pump harder, it pushes the water out harder allowing you to clean the bowl better. Thetford 565e vs 565p Besides the seat itself being comfortable, Thetford has also been generous with the seat opening. The seat opening on this toilet measures in at approximately 7 3/4″ wide x 11″ deep. This is larger than what you will often find in portable toilet options.

This works perfectly for my solution and where my toilet is located but some people may experience an issue with not enough space on the sides. In this case, one of the front flushing models may work better. Gauges Galore Integrated control panel with pump, water filling unit and level indicator for the flush-water tank. With compact dimensions like the 145 but equipped with a level indicator to warn you well in advance when the waste-holding tank needs emptying. The manually operated piston pump provides easy and powerful flushing. The good news is, like all Thetford Toilets it is fitted with a clean system for emptying that includes an air release button for a smooth flow. The bad news is, guys get to empty the toilet; come on, you didn't think you were going to get out of that job did you! Also supplied with free chemicals to get you started.

One of the handiest features for me is the toilet paper holder. Before having this, my toilet paper got placed all over the van. I never knew where it would be when I needed it. Since I had nowhere to keep it in my toilet area, it usually ended up in a cabinet and out of the way just when I needed it the most. Manually operated piston pump for flushing the toilet; it is light, easy to use and ensures powerful flushing Featuring an electric flush pump, integrated toilet paper holder, indicators for both the flush water level and waste tank level as well as cover controls (for the piston pump, water fill cap and water level indication), the Thetford Porta Potti Excellence is incredibly user friendly and simple to manage. For those who seek luxury and high-quality during leisure time, or looking for a solution at home during renovations or simply as a second toilet, why not consider this jewel amongst portable toilets. The design offers an Pistone pump system, water filling unit, and level indicator for the flush-water tank. This indicator and the level indicator of the waste-holding tank tell you when to fill the flush-water tank and when to empty the waste-holding tank. Additionally the Porta Potti 565P is equipped as standard with an integrated toilet roll holder.

Bottom Line

Some toilets don’t have this type of swivel spout on them and only have an opening directly on the waste tank. These are messier to dump in my experience and you have to be a little more careful. Pros Large Comfortable Seat Simple and convenient push button to use the electrically operated pump, ensures powerful flushing the toilet (batteries NOT included) This portable campervan toilet is made by Thetford, a well-known and trusted name within the touring world. The 565e is the electric flush version whereas the 565p is the manual pump version. Both are the same toilets but utilize a different flushing system. As mentioned above the electric flush can have its downfalls especially if the batteries die while you are out in the middle of nowhere. While the 565p isn’t as fancy with its electric flush, it gives you a way to flush the toilet without being concerned with batteries.

While not quite as comfortable as a home toilet, it’s the best I have seen on the market on a portable toilet. Many toilets have this same system but the blade handle is usually located in the front of the toilet. Your legs are in the way of this so you will usually have to stand up to flush. This toilet allows you to accomplish this while still sitting down if you wish. In keeping with all the portable toilet models that Thetford offers, this one is made from high-quality plastic. You know you are getting a quality product with the feel of the product and parts on it. I have used and reviewed other toilets that aren’t at the same level of quality as Thetford Porta Potti’s are known for. Over the years the 'Porta Potti' name has become so widely used and accepted that it has become a generic term used to describe all Portable Toilets, rather than a specific range of Thetford products. As the name implies a Porta Potti is a portable toilet that provides convenience and complete independence from fixed toilet systems. Thetford Portable Toilets are commonly used by campers, whether it be tent camping or trailer tents but are also frequently found in van conversions and campervans owing to their compact dimensions. The truth is there is no end to the number of places one might need a Portable Loo. You’ll feel like royalty sitting on your throne with the fancy and functional Porta Potti 565E portable toilet from Thetford.

I like the electric flush on this model but I would prefer a manual pump flush. They do have a manual pump version of this toilet available but it seems to be only available to the European market.

The Thetford brand may have changed but their products are just as innovative, reliable and well made as they ever were.
