toilet on the run

Freinds of ours who have a jayco camper keep a small blue bucket for such things. If there are taps nearby you don't need to walk all the way to the toilet block, you just wash it out over the fence or on a tree in the morning.

It is only for number 1's and only for the wife.

Porta Loo, go to my rig and profile Photos and see the external shower/Toilet you bring the Porta Loo inside at night and take it out in the morning when convenient.

My wife gets me to do it so see is never embarrassed.

By the way it might also pay to tell her that see is not the only one that does number 1s at night and no one else will care what see has in her bucket we are all equal in the camping world.

Happy Peeing, Hope This Helps

Being a woman I understand her problem. It's alright for you blokes to joke! We have a 4X4 and camp and I always have to go at night. So after many hit and misses (literally) I now use a small, plastic, white painters bucket with a sucure lid, bought at any hardware store. It is very easy to use being strong, airtight, with a handle and not smelly. Yes, it has to be emptied in the morning but I have never had a problem with that. In the bush is easy but even in a camp ground I have found taking it to the toilet to empty or washing it down at a tap does not draw any attention. Having a secure lid means that you can take it later when the early morning toilet throngs have gone. You can also buy a rather obvious looking contraption for males which also has a woman's special attatchment which can be bought at some camping shops. I was given one for Chrismas (as a joke) but I think the bucket would be better. Happy going, Dianne

Not a solution to your dilema but the dragon sometimes uses these things when camping.......

Magic Cone

We keep old greeting cards and a roll of sticky tape in the Cruiser to manufacture units in advance for the upcoming trip. 'Rollies' are the way to go.

They are a wonderful invention, not so much for their practicality, but more for the entertainment value. Winning the novice female camper over to Magic Cone technology is a challenge well worth pursuing from my experience.

How's his form eh starting off with "before all the comedians start, "That took all the fun away ....shame on ya oldmagpie2

Having to get up in the middle of the night is pretty normal for some women, and also most men after a certain stage. One of the beauties of camping by yourself is only having to open the tent flap when in the bush. But in a camping ground its often a long way to the loo so anything that makes this aspect of camping easier is a great idea .
As for the neighbours, well if they don't have to go to the loo then I wouldn't like to be around when they explode ! :)) Don't feel embarrassed, it's a normal function for all of us.

Just love the magic cone, though I don't suppose wifey or myself for that matter will give the 'on-board loo' away just yet.

Love the demo - but can't figure why you would use a cone when there's a perfectly good toilet staring at you!

The perfect answer to you question maggie is to use the old fashioned hot water bottle. The funnel shaped mouth is near enough to the shape she needs and she can take it back to bed with her cos it's still warm. Next morning, it looks like your only going to empty a hot water bottle.
Biggest problem is to convince her its a good idea. LOL

Why are people so sensitive about nature's basic tasks?

What, tell me, is the difference between carrying a bucket somewhere to be emptied, or carrying the porta-dunny to a sullage point. (apart from the frequency)

I agree the Porta_dunny is probably the most practical but not everybody has the room to carry them.

If your sister-in-law is THAT sensitive she could:-
1. Empty the bucket while it is still dark
2. Place the bucket under the hand water pump and give it a couple of pumps and then make out she is emptying the dish washing water.
3. Have a tent/annex with no floor (bare earth)

Take the situation where a camp site has a "modesty tent" nearby, or for that matter a permanent facility. Everybody knowes that your heading for the dunny, but then everybody else needs to perform the same bodily functions at least once a day, so what's the big deal.

That's my view anyway.

If you go to a pilots shop you (the Ladies ) can get a thing caled the Lady J it is for having to Pee when flying a light aircraft for the ladies, the blokes just refill the coke bottle. It is plastic of the apropirate shape. cross between the Magic cone and the waterbottle. you need to supply you owne bottle. The other trick is to fill the bottle with fine sand or the like. If you have an acidentla knock over of the bottle you still have time to pick it up with out spillage. Works for the bucket too. also reduces the oder before desposal.
