bottom.

Bummer Boomer... My Porta Potty has a type of release valve.... you pull the
handle out VERY slowly (ALWAYS with NOTHING in the bowl) and you hear it
hiss and then stink the crap out of the van... but no Boom Ka-Splat.....
Always open all windows, & skylight before trying this maneuver.....

Side bar:... I'm sitting on my Porta Potty behind the pass seat facing
backwards... A nice cop comes up to me and starts asking me some questions
thru the screened side window.. he can't tell I've got my nickers below my
knees... But the wind just happens to be blowing his way and his facial
expressions start changing... and he soon decides to move along... good
choice ;^)
