Thetford Porta Potti 165 Portable Camping / Camper Van Toilet

The Thetford Porta Potti 165 is a practical, comfortable and easy-to-use portable toilet designed for camper vans, motorhomes, caravans, camping, boats and other off-grid applications where a permanently installed toilet is not required.

Part of Thetford’s trusted Porta Potti 100 Series, the 165 combines a larger waste tank and comfortable seating height with a simple manual flushing system. It requires no connection to mains water, drainage or electricity, making it a versatile choice for leisure vehicles and camping.

Comfortable Everyday Design

The Porta Potti 165 offers a comfortable seating position while still remaining compact enough for use in camper vans and caravans.

Its practical proportions make it a good middle-ground option for users who want more capacity than the smaller Porta Potti models without moving up to the larger premium 500 Series.

Simple Manual Bellows Flush

The Porta Potti 165 uses Thetford’s reliable manual bellows pump flushing system.

The flush is operated manually, so there are no batteries, wiring or electrical connections required. This makes the toilet especially well suited to camper van conversions, camping and off-grid use where simplicity and reliability are important.

Large 21 Litre Waste Holding Tank

One of the main advantages of the Porta Potti 165 is its generous 21 litre waste-holding tank.

The larger capacity means fewer trips to the disposal point compared with smaller portable toilets, making it particularly useful for longer trips, family camping or more frequent use.

When it is time to empty the toilet, the waste tank separates from the upper section for straightforward carrying and disposal.

15 Litre Fresh Water Tank

The upper section incorporates a 15 litre fresh-water flushing tank, allowing the toilet to operate completely independently from your camper van or caravan’s water system.

Simply fill the flush-water tank before use and the toilet is ready to go.

Completely Self-Contained

The Porta Potti 165 is a fully self-contained portable toilet.

There is no need for permanent plumbing, drainage or electrical installation, making it ideal for camper conversions where flexibility is important. The toilet can be stored away when not required and brought out whenever needed.

Ideal for Camper Vans, Caravans and Camping
