That's what they say but I heard it's just a very small chemical toilet.
I am a r/VanDwellers and live from a van that has a fridge (cooler-shaped, 12v/24v/120v Dometic 65-quart fridge/freezer combo), a little Camco camp toilet, pressurized hot water tank for dishes and bathing,a Camp Chef dual-burner propane stove with oven that uses Coleman tanks or a white tank, and a modest ($1,300) solar setup...
I've lived completely off grid and mobile since August 20 17 until this past Winter because cold and snow!
With a double bed across the back with regular linens, storage for clothes and tools and cooking, power outlets, I have all the comforts of home.
Not counting the van, my complete setup was about $3,500.
The Prairie Schooner can be disassembled in a day and all the components can be applied to a cabin - as soon as I get some land (LOL!) for said cabin - leaving a regular cargo van for work or resale.
Or you can not choose to live like a caveman and actually get a chemical toilet for emergencies, or even regular use. They literally cost $100, plus the chemicals. Sure, they're disgusting to empty, but toilets are the one thing that separate us from the animals... :p
Anyone who carries plastic bags around in case they have to squat in the van and start shitting should just face the facts and buy a damned toilet already. The smallest Dometic chemical porta-potty is literally 12 inches high.

For anyone with girlfriends: good luck getting 99% of women to squat on your tarp...
ok, no problem:

Just pee in a jug and poop when you come across toilets lol. They’re all over the place these days.
That would be funny as hell if I just dookied in an open bucket in the back of the van. “Don’t mind the smell...”
There are nice little toilets available for emergencies, or if you’re a chick. I got this one:

Reminds me of this.
Your body is more important than shame. :/ if they're decent enough, they won't give you grief. Or you could say you're terrified of restrooms in gas stations and diners.
Camping toilets seem to be a good option. These look pretty discreet (and even flush!)
I recommend this for a restroom
For a shower all you need is a body wash, towels, a poof, water.
Don't over think power, I use 12v USB power banks. And its all the power I need. Although my 900amp battery converter that hook up to my battery is great sometimes..
Bathroom, yes
Shower, no...
I have a 24 hour fitness pass

Do you park down by the river? Also, how do you get any ass living in that?|W4M: You host. W4MM: You host and clean up.
Ok, I think this has gone on long enough. I get it.. you're very zooey deschanel in "New Girl" ... but obviously you've gone through some kind of trauma (possibly related to your job). I hope you get the counseling / find what you're looking for.|1) I love it! A woman makes a crude sex joke and that means she's "obviously gone through some kind of trauma". Brilliant. 2) Zooey Deschanel wouldn't say penis. So. PENIS. 3) Boston area hotel minimum = $80 30 days...for something super seedy = $2400 / month. Nope.
Ps - if you really make 6 figures, why not live out of hotels? i've done it, and it's infinitely more rewarding, plus you feel like james bond. |
If you make six figures why are you living in an ambulance...?|Why not? It's an adventure. It's life. Why avoid the unknown fun?
Where do you poop? |That sounds like a title to a children's book...maybe I should steal it. I had a coworker once who had a goal to poop in every restroom in the hospital. I guess now it's my goal to poop in every Starbucks, Panera, and Walgreens in New England. I also have this guy: Link to www.amazon.com that even has a little flush.

Just get hot showers via gym memberships, truck stop gas cards, couchsurfing website.
Public toilets, also stuff like this, composting toilets.

It just comes down to being clever. Hell, people put wood stoves in vans.
Paying rent is overrated.
For bigger tailgates (like Opening Day) I have a small toilet like this one that we put in the back of the SUV with a small curtain around it. 50% tinted windows help too. It may sound weird but it beats waiting a half hour to pee. I just stick it underneath the car when we go in for the game so that it doesn't heat up and stink up the car. I know miller park 'banned' these but I've been doing it for years.
My only rule is #1s only.
For smaller tailgates just pee in a bottle if you don't want to wait in line? Idk what else to tell you.
If your brother will allow you to use his bathroom at specific times of the day you could get one of these and empty it every few days:

Do you need to use a lot of soap for showering? I tend to shower with just water on my body and a bit of shampoo in my hair. if you aren't using harsh soap chemicals I don't see what would be so bad about discharging to the yard it shouldn't be particularly different from rain. They make expensive soaps made for campers in the wilderness that might be ok.
This one
I would pull that compost toilet out and just put a brand new portable toilet in there. It'll be a lot easier to sell. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074YW746P
There are a couple types;
This for example would require no cutting/framing of the camper
This type for example has the cassette remove from the back, so you would need to have a cutout somewhere for it
Edit: Meant to add that you basically remove the 'cassette' which holds the business and take it to any toilet to empty it.
Toilet type issues can be solved easily and cheaply, but there are draw backs.
We have one of these - just a port-a-potty really. But until we get blackwater tanks and everything sorted this does the job.

Running water? Get a manual pump that connects to a 5 gal water tank. https://www.amazon.com/Wealers-Camping-Gallon-Manual-Drinking/dp/B00QLRCTUU/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1501018150&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=manual+water+camping+pump
We started our build in May and we've camped in it twice now... each time it's less like camping and more like a home.
We have a fridge, 4 bunks, master bedroom, bathroom (walls only) shower (walls only) living area, kitchen (no water yet). We're probably $10k into it and I've been working on it an average of 10-20 hours a week every week since may.
Bus, RV and Van all have pros and cons.
One article that turned me onto a bus was http://www.technomadia.com/2011/06/why-a-bus/ Specifically the heading A Bus???
If you have room, time, money and know how and want to make something uniquely yours, a bus would be a good fit.
If you want to move into something right away an RV could work out nice.
If you both want something uniquely yours but have less time, money and space, van dwelling can be a nice step into this type of living.
I am in trucking and a lot of drivers say this is the best thing out there, really odourless, http://www.amazon.com/Thetford-92360-Porta-Portable-Toilet/dp/B006WPQNB2/ , it costs more than a portapotty you might find at walmart, but its what I'd use in an self made RV Van, over a composting toilet. The base detaches and you can take it like a jug of water to a toilet or RV waste spot and dump your waste.
Ooooh, wow, I loooove that van. Everything about it is just awesome looking!
Anyhow, not a female, but on my camping and on adventures I've had lots of advice passed along from them. For things like vandwelling and longer adventures, I think the number one concern and thing that came up was waking up and having to pee.
Some resolved this by way of having a portable RV toilet setup that they toted along with, similar to this: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B004SFKJIQ
I have one of those I bring with me on remote camping expeditions, especially, as it's very handy.
In more constrained situations, a pee bottle is typically used and is entirely functional. Folks, especially backpackers and other 'dwellers mention http://www.thepstyle.com/ as a great investment to allow them to use said pee bottles effectively, too.
Outside of that, carry an extra jug of gas as a 'just in case' situation and test the condition of your batteries and how well you can boondock with them (not connected to shore power and not getting the batteries actively recharged by driving.) Also, a portable jumper pack is an AWESOME investment, as that extra juice and get you out of a jam nicely, and if someone else is stuck with a dead battery, it saves you the trouble of having to use jumpers and doing vehicular gymnastics, which can be annoying.
If you want a shaded/shielded sitting area in remote areas, an awning can be a nice addition if you can afford one, and investing in a nice outdoor welcome mat/runner is super handy for if you're hiking or just want to take your boots or shoes off before you enter the camper.
In the woods or, again, remote locations, you could have a compact hammock on hand that you can set up to give yourself some more seating/laying about options, too, the value of which is hard to quantify when you're feeling claustrophobic from being inside the van too much.
Anyway, just a few thoughts for you! Have awesome adventures, and check in to let us know how they are going once in a while. =)

Thinking about getting this Camco toilet. Although I was also considering just doing the 5 gallon bucket with a trash bag and kitty litter. I like the Camco because the sealing bit seems to help reduce smell, being able to easily dump into toilets is great, and I think I can theoretically rig the flushing mechanism into some kind of low powered bidet, although I'll live even if I can't do that.
I know my body enough to know that I can't reasonably expect myself to be able to separate solid and liquid waste or sit once in the morning and be done with it. So I feel like the Camco might fit my needs better. If anyone also has thoughts on the tank size that'd be good, I feel like the smaller one would be easier to walk into a normal restroom with and dump it, while the bigger would mean less frequent dumping...I've never like measured my waste so I have 0 idea on how long or short that is.
It's great actually we both have our own routines that put us outside of the truck so we only use it for like peeing in morning and before bed. They have a really nice one I'd recommend that I want when I go big like motor home a $1000 one it's the best . I change it about once a week for free and take it to a treatment plant and get flavored tst tabs online for the smell of the toilet

Just search “chemical toilet” on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SFKJIQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 this one hasn't mentioned fans/vents unless I'm missing something and the reviews are pretty favorable. For $80 I'm not sure you can beat that.
Edit; not sure if it's actually a composting toilet though, I could be wrong on that front
Public toilets, a portable toilet, or the toilet is in the bathroom area with an in built sewage compartment that you have to empty.
They are dirt cheap!
Would a portable camping toilet help? You can dump the waste tank in the outhouse and it shouldn’t be a problem: https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Standard-Recreational-Activites-41541/dp/B004SFKJIQ/
Alternatively, there are biodegradable/compostable bags you could use to line a bucket that could be disposed in an outhouse: https://www.amazon.com/Green-Elephant-Replacement-Biodegradable-Compostable/dp/B079N33LKC/
Pull out the little Camco cassette flush toilet that I bought for such situations.
and...um... I'll ask my gf. She has a huge list of cool things to use in tiny houses.

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Standard-Recreational-Activities-41541/dp/B004SFKJIQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541377758&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=porta+potty&dpPl=1&dpID=31hF22FyXtL&ref=plSrch
Works great, and seems to store well enough. It's inexpensive and practical. There are probably nicer, more expensive ones you could find, but this serves me well.
I bought a thetford curve for my van, tho i did the bucket too. The curve is the most like a regular toilet. It isn't hard to empty but it isn't exactly pleasant either but that goes for all rvs really. Thee bucket is easier to empty, you just toss in a trash can somewhere.
I shower by truckstop or in warmer weather solar shower (black bag). They make propane hot camp showers. If i need privacy, i make a tent with my tarp off my van, but normal sized people can get these cool little shower tents.
