What should I bear in mind when purchasing my first caravan? Has anyone got any advice when it comes to the best type of toilet? 

These Thetford Porta Potti's look quite fun.

I must admit I have never associated caravan toilets with funwink

Most caravans for the past 20 or so years have come with cassette type toilets where the waste tank can be accessed from the outside of the van. Don't fancy going back to carrying the waste tank through the caravan!

We prefer the stability of the bench type rather those that swivel about. The holding tank also tends to larger.

I used one very much as in the one linked to until around 16 years ago. Perfectly happy with it

Do they still install that type in caravans or even motorhomes?

I doubt they were ever “installed” Mikey, which is why they are incredible easy to keep clean. You can just take the whole thing out at the end of a trip and give it a really good jet wash or hose down. No fiddly bits to get into...... And best of all, no ruddy micro switches to fail again, and again, and again.

We still have one in our old caravan. Lots of camper-vans have tiny versions that go into a cupboard to save that overnight dash.....

This is a library picture of a setup like mine. The fixed bench cassette toilet is mostly in shot.
