Chemical toilets use disinfectants to clean waste. You must empty them to dispose of the waste. Some chemical toilets hold the waste beneath the seat, others, such as those in an RV, store the waste in a tank. Search for chemical toilet discussion forums or speak to distributors for more information about toilets and which is best for your intended use.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Consider why you are buying a chemical toilet before you buy one. If you are looking for a simple overnight camping potty, then choose an inexpensive portable toilet. Some come with privacy screens, toilet seats and chemical bags.

  2. Step 2

    Contact your RV manufacturer if you are choosing a new RV chemical toilet. They can advise you on the system that most closely matches your RV bathroom set-up.

  3. Step 3

    Check at large hardware stores since they usually carry a chemical toilet inventory. If you aren't sure what exact type you need, speak to a customer service representative, as there are several different types available.

  4. Step 4

    Consider ordering off the Internet, at auctions sites and from chemical toilet manufacturers. These are all ways to get a great selection. Manufacturers should provide in-depth details about the toilets and directions for use and disposal.

  5. Step 5

    Get chemicals. Chemical toilets require specific chemicals, some of which can be irritating to sinus passages and skin. Search for alternative chemicals if you want to use these toilets for an extended period, or in enclosed spaces. ThomasNet lists manufacturers, distributors and service companies of chemical toilet chemicals as well as information about the toilets themselves.
