Is your boat big enough to have its own head? If so, you may not need to duplicate facilities.
I could get away with a bucket and bag but have other members of the household that have more demands. If I am planning to continue RVing with more people than just myself, we need a fully functioning bathroom.

When we were avid tent campers, my wife would often need to fertilize the forest in the middle of the night. That was a big motivator to buying a fully equipped truck camper.
My two favorite amenities in our camper are the bathroom and the fridge. No more wondering if my wife will get eaten by a bear in the middle of the night and, due to the fridge, no more hassle in dealing with ice!
If you go with the non-toilet model, the portable toilet and outhouse tent would probably be the way to go. However, be mindful of high winds!!!

^What he said. No bathroom, very little water storage and a very dinky fridge/freezer sort of defeats a lot of the purpose of a camper.
Esp the OP who hasn’t ever alluded to being a tent camper or bucket shitttter and has had a TT for a long time.
But alas, some of the questions here still land somewhere between entertaining and amazing. … like “Where do I poop without h no toilet in my camper?”

Very few places I stay have facilities.
Even when I stay in a place with facilities, I prefer to use my own. Mine is clean, sanitary, and convenient. I am old and half the time I need a facilities visit in the middle of the night. If not then first thing in the morning before I am fully awake or dressed. That is nice for you. What for the OP?
My advice was based on the OP having no facility in the camper. How would you proceed with no facility in the camper?

If you happened to notice, I was responding to another forum participant, not the OP.
I really do not know what sort of response the OP is looking for. If they want to buy a small popup truck camper and they claim there is no space for a cassette toilet, then I guess they will need to do without. I would not want to argue with the OP about the lack of space for a cassette toilet. They want to know how to deal with this. Nothing magic here. Either hold it or find another place to go. Backpackers often use a small plastic gardener's trowel. Or stay in campgrounds with some sort of facilities.

If it "defeats the purpose" then why do they sell such useless units? Nobody should ever want one.

Portapotty is just fine. Lose the extra battery to store it if you must. You shouldn't need one anyway--it's not like a NS 650TC has many things that use it.
(I have the slightly longer but pretty much the same 800.)

Lol. Well they don’t sell a hell of a lot of “em. And certainly not too many to people who have to ask the internet where they can poop if they buy one…jus sayin.

Hence the phrase 'everybody is different' and as such camp in different ways and has different objectives and priorities to their camping equipment.
Personally it goes something like this:
- no need to setup/take down a tent (everything remains dry)
- no need to setup/take down a bed (time+comfort saver)
- many/most items already packed and ready to go
- toilet a few feet away in dry & enclosed space
- heating system
- refrigeration (+ability to MAKE ICE)
so YES, I did count/list the toilet above heating and refrigeration however I'd guess that others list's will surely have a different order(s) as the above is just MY own personal reasons of owning a truck camper.

About that. The question wasn't so much where to poop, as they listed multiple options. Seemed more like they wanted to know what worked best.
Personally I could not tolerate any of it. I draw the line at porta johns. If I gotta poop in a bucket, I'm going home.
Hmm, I might add that to my signature...
