These are toilets? Practical. Someone had bad experience and designed his own line of toilets hard to fall over?  |

 You don't want to say, that you don't know them, or? When I saw the pics some minutes ago, I thought "Oh, there were already existing in the 70ies. At least in America." Now I'm checking the www about their history.  Btw. With these toilets it's in Germany the same with paper-tissues and angle-grinders. The common name is the most known brand. We usually say "DIXI-Klo" Link to "www.google.de" the competitor couldn't fix its name like that Link to "www.google.de" -- Last edit: 2010-10-12 16:34:30 |

Aha! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOI_TOI_%26_DIXI_Sanit%C3%A4rsysteme So first in Germany in 1973, Toi Toi came 10 years later and both brands were merged in 1997. Aha the 2nd! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Toilettenkabine First in use in USA at Woodstock, it's written. -- Last edit: 2010-10-12 16:19:24 |

I meant the shape, not that it is plastic (anyway interesting history  ). Such... pyramidal one, I haven's seen here indeed. Well in fact in Germany  and other countries too. Bad tourist guide maybe.Here we call them "toitoi" now. |

Interesting, that it was founded by a soldier.  20 years ago at my Bundeswehr-service, we had them, too, for bigger maneuves at military trainings areas, because even back them there are enviroment laws for the army. It was forbidden to cut down trees for camouflage-reasons and it was even forbidden to shit in the forest (the military owned). No kidding! So we had a truck with some DIXI-toilets with us. But annother very important thing has to be made: they had to be camouflaged! Not easy with this shiny light blue boxes, but we made it properly. So properly, that our personnell (of one VW DoKa Transporter) got the ranking as the "Best DIXI-Klo-camouflaging combatants" |

It was some punishment? Despite the ban you went to the forest?! Not nice. I hope this has taught you something. xD |

Punishment? No, the rules went for all soldiers: a) not to shit in the forest and B) everything not matt-olive-coloured has to be camouflaged. Despite our Major's previous order "Gentlemen! This is a big NATO-maneuver and NO camping-vacation!" our T3-DoKa (with Eberspächer-heating) was equipped very well (cooler-box, sunchair, radio, sweets-bag, photocamera, beer-crate and even a TV with 12 V-converter)  |
