Hope you don't mind me asking? You mention a case to keep the potty on the rails that doubles as a seat? Sounds interesting. Did you purchase this or make something for yourself?
Thanks

I think he's referring to the (in German) what's called the Staukasten. I bought it and absolutely love it! It is a pricey piece of kit however.

An upholstered storage box from Dunelm for £10 does the same job other than fixing into the rails.
Ours sits behind the passenger seat.
I did intend to put a strap around it for traveling but so far it hasn’t moved.

Not the original, but a cheap equivalent - the staukast (literally, storage box) is great, robust, and fits the Thetford potty quite well - but it is expensive.

Just search for a cubic 38 x 38 x 38cm box (or, 15 x 15 x 15 ") like the one below. Can be used as a (somewhat filmsy) seat.

The small Thetford potty fits inside quite tightly. Just cut a window to operate the blade opener and secure the box to the rails.

I screwed the bottom of the box to the floor rail and it feels pretty firm.
In retrospective, maybe I should have used the Thetford supplied potty base plate to secure it to the floor rail and cut the bottom of the box altogether.

I bought a collapsible portable loo recently called a Bivvy Loo. it is actually really sturdy. I really like how it folds down into a bag and then fits under the bed shelf.

The Thetford 335 (315 x 342 x 382mm) fits the Dunelm box well and having seen @Blackrat 's set up in the flesh the Dunelm box it does look like an elegant solution.

Someone I know however is selling the 345 brand new locally. The 345 measures (330 x 383 x 427 mm).

Has anyone out there found an off the shelf box like the Dunelm for the Thetford 345?
