I've used both the Thetford Porta Potti 135 and the 5 gallon bucket Wag bag method, and found I much prefer the Porta Potti. Lots easier to use, and it hides odors just fine. It's faster, tons more comfortable, and requires less prep. You set it up one time and you're good for 5 days. With the bucket you got to do a setup and dispose, after each use - a real pain. One half bottle of odor goop will keep it odor free for 5 days for one person. Don't use it for No. 1 - you'll get more days out of it that way. :) To empty, clean and re-use all you need is a bathroom with a toilet and running water. There's lots of how-to videos on youtube for it, and it's really quite simple. Here's a link for the Thetford 135 on sale at Cabela's, and I've attached the operating manual for it as well, and it should be available online, too. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/thetford-porta-potti-135 I ordered a custom vinyl square cover for it, and keep it covered while not in use. After having used the porta potti, i'll not be going back to using the bucket. A good way to test it out and get used to it is to use the porta potti at home for 5 days. Then use the bucket at home for 5 days. I think you'll quickly notice obvious differences. Walmart sells the odor goop - I use 4 oz. Thetford Aqua-Chem at a time. So one 8 oz. bottle should last one person 10 days. Good luck and good pooping. :)
