I am in the process of constructing a small trailer to go on the back of
my 80 Westy. There is an old double seat, portable potty out behind
grandpa's old house with a brass seat. I plan to mount it on the trailer
and that should eliminate the handling of the inside portapotty, bags and
all the other inconveniences. Being as it is a 2 seater there is real
opportunity for visitation and a depth of conversation.
