1. A toilet system (1) to be installed in a vehicle, wherein the toilet system comprises a base (2) that is to be firmly installed on the vehicle with an upper wall section, a toilet bowl (3) supported by the upper wall section of the base with a top edge section that supports a seat (6), a sewage retaining tank (15) that is in the usage position provided at least partly below the upper wall section and a guiding, holding and coupling device that is so designed, that the correspondingly shaped sewage retaining tank can be pulled out from the usage position in which it can be fluid-tight connected with the outlet of the toilet bowl (3) by the user, removed from the vehicle and afterwards brought again to the said usage position, while the toilet system (1) is so designed that even after the firm installation of the base in the vehicle the user can select between various intended sitting positions on the toilet bowl (3) in which the toilet system (1) can be used, wherein the toilet bowl (3) in a position that is predetermined relative to the base is firmly joined with the base (2), at least the top edge section of the toilet bowl (3) is essentially round and the seat (6) can be brought into various positions on the toilet bowl (3) relative to the vertical axis of the top edge section and the seat is essentially round, so that the seat does not determine a preferred sitting position, but the user can sit on the toilet in various positions which are rotated relative to the vertical axis of the top edge section without perceivable differences as far as sitting comfort is concerned, wherein the top edge section of the toilet bowl (3) is overlapped in various rotated positions by a cover ring (4), said cover ring supporting on one side a mounting section (5), on which the seat (6) and a lid (7) covering the opening of the seat is hinged in an upward and downward pivotable manner, andwherein between the cover ring (4) and the toilet bowl (3) a distributor ring (20), is provided that forms a channel system in such a manner, that it guides the flushing water from a central flushing water storage along the top edge section of the toilet pan and introduces it into the toilet pan (3a) through corresponding orifices (23) around the top edge section, through a gap between the cover ring overlapping the distributor ring and the toilet pan (3a). 2. A toilet system (1) according to claim 1, wherein the cover ring (4) is so constructed and held on the top edge section that it, together with the seat (6) held on it, and the lid (7) held on it, can be rotated by the user of the toilet to a position considered temporarily as comfortable by the individual user. 3. A toilet system (1) according to claim 2, wherein the cover ring (4) moves on the top edge section in the manner of a rotatable sliding guide that is blocked by a locking mechanism, while the locking mechanism can be deactivated by the user of the toilet without any tools, so that to rotate the cover ring without removing it from the top edge section. 4. A toilet system (1) according to claim 1, wherein the lid (7), in the closed state essentially covers only the opening of the seat (6), while at least a substantial portion of the seat (6) on the left and right (7L, 7R) of the lid (7) is not overlapped by the lid, but remains free even in the case of a closed lid. 5. A toilet system (1) according to claim 1, wherein the openings are constructed as local holes which, by considering the nominal supply pressure of the flushing water are so dimensioned and directed that the flushing water is sprayed curtain-like into the toilet pan (3a) in a form of a plurality of single jets, the toilet pan essentially extending along the entire periphery of the top edge section in such a manner, that all surface areas of the toilet pan (3a), on which solid feces can be deposited when the toilet system (1) is used as intended, will be swept over. 6. A toilet system (1) according to claim 5, wherein the holes have a configuration that inhibits permanent calcium deposits. 7. A toilet system (1) according to claim 6, wherein the distributor ring is a two-component part from a carrier plastic material and a soft-elastic material in such a manner, that the holes, forming the exiting flushing water jets are moulded into the supporting plastic material and on their edges, bordering their outlet openings, carry a bead (24) from soft-elastic material, while the bead (24) protrudes into the interior of the distributor ring. 8. A toilet system (1) according to claim 1, wherein the internal surface of the toilet pan (3a) that is subjected to feces has in all places an adequate incline relative to the outlet of the toilet pan (3a), so that to form a slope for the essentially automatic sliding off of solid feces towards the outlet. 9. A toilet system (1) according to claim 8, wherein the internal surface of the toilet pan that is subjected to feces and the entire toilet pan is made from sanitary ceramics. 10. A toilet system (1) according to claim 8, wherein the internal surface of toilet pan that is subjected to feces is fitted with a hygiene coating or with a permanently bonded hygiene coating, in the form of a dirt-repellent nano-coating. 11. A toilet system (1) according to claim 1, wherein the base (2) has a wall, in the form of a vertical front wall, that is so harmonised with the sewage tank (15) that the wall has an actuating opening, in which opening in the operating position of the sewage tank (15) the handle (12) on the sewage tank to actuate a plug (13) appears, by means of which the sewage tank (15) and consequently the fluid-tight connection between the sewage tank and the outlet of the toilet bowl (3) can be opened and closed. 12. A toilet system (1) according to claim 11, wherein in the region of the actuating opening a pivotable flap (25) is provided, that is pushed upward during the insertion of the sewage tank (15) and is held by the sewage tank (15) in its open position outside of the actuating opening and after the removal of the sewage tank pivots back into the actuating opening and closes this off, as airtight as possible. 13. A toilet system (1) according to claim 12, wherein a signal is emitted by the flap (25), indicating that the toilet system cannot be operated due to the removed tank. 14.
