Dometic 972 Portable Toilet

Better than expected. Convenient, not too heavy when full, small size fits hidden under a shelf until needed. Using in a truck pop up tent topper. Great for a short 1-2 night camp trip for a family, or for a few days for one person. Paired with the scent packets, there's no smell at all. The sticky goop on the seals helps prevent any leaking - I'll just be sure to watch as that may wear over time with use. No issues, convenient, working as described and intended - which for us, was avoiding a late night walk at a camp site, or an emergency at a trail head without facilities.

I am one person using this for days in a row camping off the grid. A pro-tip to help with keeping it clean is to spray the bowl and entire tank with PAM cooking spray BEFORE using it. That has definitely helped in rinsing and emptying. The flush feature is helpful: efficient, not messy, conserves water. I sometimes gently lift the toilet an inch (using the handle on front) while finishing the flush and with the lid down, to make sure the deposit hole is as low as possible so everything drains (in case I'm on an uneven surface)

This is a replacement for the original that came with our boat 7 years ago. The old one still works but the gaskets are starting to leak. Otherwise, have been very happy with this product and look forward to having the new one. The size is perfect.

Perfect size for tent camping, easy to use and clean

My Portable broke first time using. The flange in the black tank portion slid off of tracks and wont return rendering the bottom pretty unsanitary for moving around. BUT called Dometic about the issue and no questions asked replaced the unit. Offered to send pictures and of obviously cant sent back. Nope didnt need it! They sent it out! Thanks Dometic for the CS!!

Have not received it yet

I purchased through a camping outlet here in Australia, Only use it for night time urinal. We have had it for just over 12 months, on a recent weekend camping trip it began leaking from the flush tank, an inspection found that there was a joint between moldings that was weeping, and an even closer inspection I found 2 hair line cracks in the middle of a flat area of the underside. I had no option but to use my soldering iron to melt these areas to stop it leaking.

I did not receive the mounting kit. It does not re attach very well when you separate the top from the bottom. The plastic seat is thin gauge plastic and will probably break easy. A small amount of liquid remains in the holding tank that I cannot get out. Could be better designed! Really not worth the money.

They sent me wrong item. It should 5 Gallon Waste Tank. But They sent me 2.6 Gallon waste tank which is half size.
