Ah, I have a porta in that case. As in I remove the top and lug the heavy, smelly waste to the facilities at the lock. I was told it was a cassette. Pardon me.

I think I'm an unknowingly economical person of average height. I was told I'd need to fill the water tank up every two weeks. It lasted me six. That's with washing up and showering every day (bar a couple of days a week I'm not there)... I'm quite new to this though, so I'm sure I'll come unstuck at some point.

True. But it's from the previous owner and I've always said I'm going to replace it as it's a bit 'grubby'. So thought if I could get something a bit bigger, it'd be worth it. The Thetford is the kind I'd be after but maybe a bit pricey, maybe it's a case of a new one on blocks. If anyone has any other suggestions though, they'd be welcome.

Hi Guys, I know there are probably a hundred threads covering this topic so I apologise but there is just too much covering other toilets among these. I live on a canal boat along the Regent's Canal and have a cassette toilet. I don't mind the emptying and the smell as I generally only have to do it every two weeks, but what is bugging me is the fact that my chin rests on my knees every time I sit down. I also dislike the fact that it isn't shaped like a normal toilet... but I can't have everything. What I wanted to know from everyone's experience, is if there is indeed a cassette toilet that resembles a pumpout/armitage shanks type, or failing that, what is the best toilet to offer a sitting position similar to that of a normal household. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Michael.
