Title: How to water proof my Oztrail Portaloo BAG
Post by: albany_nomads on June 08, 2013, 07:19:09 PM

Hi Folks
 I have one of these Oztrail cotton bags that holds our Portable Loo
Now with  our Coromal Mirage camper the bag and the loo fits very nicely in the opening of the A Frame draw bar ..as such I plan to make some brackets and leave the loo here whilst in transit.
But the bag while very versatile isnt water proof ,its just a cotton not a PVC. I can see it getting wet and grimy behind the Rodeo when towing the camper
Is there any thing on the market that I can paint the cotton material of the bag to make it water proof like a PVC.
 (can you get a pvc paint  ??? )..just a thought

A mob called River Rats make one

You could try Selleys watershield, but might still need ongoing clean and recoat

I thought those bags were canvas, didnt realize they were just cotton.?

Whatabout just a heavy duty bin bag/bin liner over the top.?

Mate, we have ours in a canvas bag exposed to the elements on the drawbar.  Dunny is all plastic so no worries with it getting wet.  If the bag gets wet, it dries.  If the bag gets dirty, it goes in the wash.  Life's too complicated  ;D ;D ;D ;D
