If you are traveling for a long time with your vehicle, whether on land with your RV or at sea with your boat, you will surely need a toilet. But unfortunately, sometimes you will find yourself in the middle of nowhere without access to a proper toilet.
Some people might be irresponsible enough to defecate in the wilderness without thinking of the consequences and risks that could happen to the environment and even to themselves. You surely don't want to pollute the environment with your waste. And we would like to remind you that it is illegal to defecate and pollute your environment in some countries and states.
We have compiled the harmful effects if you irresponsibly choose to defecate in the wild:
1. It Harms the Environment
If someone defecates in a river, it could introduce the harmful bacteria Escherichia coli, mostly known as E. coli. These bacteria could spread in freshwater, latch onto vegetation and wild meat, and if it infects a person, it could cause several detrimental effects. Several human diseases also spread this way, and most are pretty fatal. An infamous example would be cholera, which infects more people in areas where people are constantly defecating in the water sources.
Some places enforce the law against public defecation because of these diseases and other sanitary problems. You could receive health-related consequences and legal ones if you are careless about them.
2. It Harms the Wildlife
While camping, you are very likely to be secluded and only surrounded by vegetation and wild animals. If you don't bring a portable toilet and there's no proper toilet to be found, you may be forced to take a dump in the wild. But as we mentioned before, human waste could harm animals and vegetation.
Human urine, for example, could wither a plant's leaves and flowers almost instantly. And if the component of your urine, uric acid, seeps into the soil, it could linger for a while and prevent any new growth. It means you're killing those beautiful plants for good, so we strongly discourage you from doing so.
Human feces are even more detrimental to wildlife. It would take quite some time before decomposing like other kinds of feces. But unlike the feces of wild animals, it could harbor parasites and harmful bacteria that are not supposed to be in the natural ecosystem, wherever that may be.
3. The Wildlife Harms You
If the risk of harming the wildlife somehow doesn't bother you, what if the wildlife harms you? It would be dreadful if you took a dump while being bitten by insects. Mosquitos and ticks drain your blood. Bees and some other insects could trigger an allergic reaction in some people. Here's a worse scenario: when you pick the wrong spot and find a snake under you. It would ruin your mood, but it would also risk you. An even worse scenario is when you encounter bears or any other beasts.
Those problems are the ones that happen on land. Could you imagine the problems you may face while taking a dump without a portable toilet at sea?
It is safer and more comfortable to use a portable toilet in your boat or near your RV.
To avoid those adverse effects and inconveniences, the solution is to bring a portable toilet with you.
These are nine reasons you need to have a portable toilet: we have compiled them if you need more reasons to get a portable toilet.
1. Portable Toilets Are Safer for Children and the Elderly
In your journey, perhaps some of your family members and loved ones are still young, and some are elderly. Imagine if you traveled with your RV without bringing a portable toilet.
Children are adventurous and playful and will find anything to play with, including going to the loo in an open space. It will be such a hassle to keep them in order and safe, plus you have to walk quite a bit to find a spot for your kids to make a makeshift toilet.
On the other hand, people of old age tend to have difficulties squatting and standing back up, and it may cause cramps, exhaustion, and even injury. Ensure their convenience with the ergonomically designed portable toilet from Homful Group.
2. Portable Toilets Are More Sanitary
Using a portable camping toilet with its features is surely more sanitary than defecating in bushes or other open places. You don't expose the lower part of your body to unwanted bacteria and insects in the wilderness. With a portable hose, you could clean up without worrying about the debris.
3. Ergonomic Design for Your Convenience
The ergonomic shape of the portable toilet is designed to help you defecate more comfortably. With a longer and deeper toilet bowl, sitting on it is more convenient. The height will allow the optimal sitting position to avoid exhaustion and injury. Homful's Portable Toilet is ergonomic to create a similar experience to your toilet at home.
4. Lightweight and Easy to Carry for Your Journey
As the name implies, the weight of Homful's portable toilet is leaning to the light side; it must be easier for you and your loved ones to bring it in your travels and move it when needed.

5. Complete with Privacy Tent, Giving More Privacy for You
Homful also provides a portable privacy tent with your portable toilet to provide the privacy and cover you need if traveling with other people. In open spaces, use the privacy tent to protect yourself from the sight of strangers. The privacy tent could also be used as a changing room if you or your friends need to change your apparel. After all, our product is mainly used for camping and traveling activities.
6. Advanced Flushing System after Every Use
The flushing system in Homful's portable toilet could be used up to 100 times before any maintenance, so you do not need to worry about not being able to flush after usage.

7. Equipped with Large Waste Capacity
The waste capacity of our products is huge and certainly sufficient, being equipped with a waste tank with their capacity ranging from 20 liters up to the largest ones with 24 liters' capacity, the equivalent to US measurements of 5,2 to 6,3 gallons respectively.
8. Monitor the Toilet's Capacity with Waste Level Indicator
Most toilets don't have such an indicator and only let you know that it is complete by overflowing. Fortunately, Homful Portable Toilet for camping also has the feature of a waste level indicator to let you know how total the portable toilet's capacity is. If the toilet is nearing its total capacity, the indicator will be redder. If it is finally complete, please remember to dispose of the waste at proper waste disposal.
