Good point, though I consider that kind of tour more of an "event" than a guided tour. But it's often amusing to see something that big roll into a small town where the cyclist will double (or more) the size of the settlement overnight.
Something I hadn't thought of before I talked to one of the operators: how far do they have to drive the PortaPottys' contents to find a wastewater treatment plant that can handle the (ahem) load? Small town treatment plants usually don't have that much margin.
