VW Trooper and Porta Potty

Hello - I'm relocating to a new job in Edinburgh and will need my own vehicle for to and from work. My Duetto is very lovely but was looking to change up anyway. So I'm looking for a smaller van I can use day to day. Seen a lovely Trooper near here and it ticks all the boxes - but expensive! - but no loo. Does a portable toilet - any advice on different brands please - fit under the seat at the rear when you open the back door? Or what do other folk do?

Buy one with a proper loo!
Never have seen the VW ,in particular, vans popularity with none or porta potty....

Yes I know!! But need a compromise solution.

Topaz?
Duetto + Bike?

Duetto + Bike? You lost me there?

Topaz - yup looked a few and a possible option. I like the thought of a VW with a pop top - easier around the city.

VW s hold their value For one person I would go for the solid sided flip up roof Trident under 5m in length and came with a portie pottie in a cupboard under the sink area I think. We had the Renault RV 50 version for 8 yrs with our family of 4. The boys slept outside in a pup tent when on sites!

We bought a 2014 Trooper at Christmas. 
The cupboard option wont work with the sliding doors. (Later models)
I can measure the boot area which I think would be the best place if it would help.

That's very kind and would be appreciated

These dimensions are for my 2014 T5.1
Width 87cm
Height 34 cm with table removed or 26cm with the table in it's storage space. I think that some stow these behind the drivers seat. 
Depth 45cm.

Hope this is helpful

great work and thank you.

I'm going down all avenues at the moment - the VW van prices are tasty to say the least!

Couldn't agree more on the price. 
We previously had a Nuevo and a couple of Symbols. You really do get more for your money but I would say that the VW is more of a daily driver. Very car like to drive and a touch more economical.
To be honest we only needed a day van so the VW really suits.

thank you all for input - after research I can't justify the high prices so will hang onto my Duetto - it works well and I can buy a small car for travel at a fraction of camper prices!

For those of you still pondering where the loo is stored a Thetford porta-potti 335 does indeed fit snugly into the cupboard under the sink. Its served us well over the last 5yrs though each night time visit is an adventure. I suggest you pull it out and place in front of the fridge before making up the bed.
