What a great idea. Have you checked to see if any of those models will fit? I would seriously consider scrapping my stinky toilet for that.

Male or female?

As others have noted, your trailer is mighty cozy for stangers. Perhaps you should start by expressing the preferred gender of your companion.

Did you forget Alberta and B.C?

Your dollar is worth 25% more in Canada, and you wouldn't have to travel so far. Also, many used trailers have been winter hardened for Canadian weather.
Good luck on your search!

Holding tank

It's not just the lines that act as a holding tank. The black water tank under the toilet will fill up with sink water if you open the valve. Of course you have to ensure the cap is on tight. 😵
