Description: The 32" Toilet Bench houses a Dometic portable toilet while doubling as seating and storage, designed and CNC-cut by The Vansmith in Boulder, Colorado. Lift the lid for instant access — no removing the toilet. A latched lid keeps it rattle-free on the road, and an interior divider keeps the rest organized. It drops into almost any layout. Ships as a complete DIY kit with all hardware; the Dometic toilet is sold separately.
