My wife made a remark that she’d rather fly commercial because she likes to have a bathroom on board...so my natural response was to increase my budget....

What’s the least expensive GA aircraft out there with a potty?

Was it Max that wrote about removing a rear seat in the V35B and installing a camping potty?

Some Dukes, not all, have a potty beneath the rear RH seat. Most Navajo models have a potty, as do 414/421's

A 414 or Duke will probably prove to be the least expensive to acquire.

Any plane that has the space for this:

A cabin with an isle would definitely help, but if you're small or graceful you can get over the seat backs easy enough too.

That is a better option than what I saw in an older Citation that involved kitty litter! I'm sure the owner loved THAT solution.

Good luck.

A camping toilet won’t do... :(

Unfortunate. It seems much easier and less expensive to clean than a built-in potty. :shrug:

So, I guess this is out. We took another couple with us to the Bahamas a few years back and the lady just had to have her "bucket" anytime we got in the plane or on a boat. We still joke her about that every time the opportunity arises.

I want to strongly encourage you to not chase your tail trying to please the wife. Many of us have fallen victim to trying to buy and fly something to please others. It simply does not work.

Fly what you want to fly and meet her there. :cheers:

Are you saying the 340 had a commode? :duck:

Have you taken a look at what a toilet in a piston twin looks like? It’s a bucket under a toilet seat. If she’s expecting a commode with a flush handle it’ll take a PC-12 at minimum.

Maybe the camping potty would be ok, but I think some sort of curtain would need to be involved...

TBM privacy potty solution if you really need it.

I can guarantee you kitty litter in a plastic bag in the potty container is the best solution.
On arrival an overhand not and into the trash container and you are done.
Works fine.
In our Tbone I rigged up a curtain hanging from the old windo curtain slides worked fine

The best potty is at the FBO when you make enroute stops. The women I know can go longer than I can without a stop. :eek:

Smallest Plane with a potty?
