[Rhodes22-list] Porta Potty

[Blanche DeFord]

Rik,

Thank you for the information about the bags.  When (I hope) I get my own boat, that might be a simpler way to go.

Sincerely,
Blanche DeFord

Hello Blanche,

We have begun using PETT bags in our regular marine head on the boat and in
the camper. I get mine from Cabelas

Google pett bag

here's the PETT site

Much nicer than dealing with trying to keep a porta-pottie clean.
