People don't actually use these in the bus do they?

Me and the missus have a very British attitude towards going to the loo and don't understand the concept of a loo in a space as small as a bus, where ones other half might be sleeping/reading/being disturbed.

Please tell me that you use it outside and the box/seat/thing is merely for transporting it around in. :(

yep, we have no shame/worries/add own phrase here to peeing in front of eachother - daughter included.

We do a lot of wild camping - not on proper campsites or in the middle of nowhere- and not having the loo would cause problems. Its easy to clean and look after - we have babywipes for cleaning hand afterwards, though we have running water too.

Loo etiquette

Post by cumbriankeith »

Our loo is more of an overnight convenience and only for an absolute emergency during the day eg when travelling. Having a pee is hardly a spectator sport tho!!
Before we acquired it the hassle of leaving the van during the night thro the rather noisy sliding door (or squirming out of a cab door) was a real pain - and a plastic bucket with lid was not much better!

In the middle of the night I don't want to get dressed and get to the campsite loo/bush for a pee just go in the potty it's quicker (we used it for the first time at Pickering....marvelous) .

Hadn't considered the wild camping thing, I suppose it means no curry for tea though. :oops:

Just bought some wellies for the nocturnal loo problem ( to walk to the toilet block in, in case you were thinking something else). :shock:

We've got a Leisure Drive conversion and ours is under the rear seat in a purpose built cupboard, but I know that only one model fits in it.

Ive never tried to do it myself but the mrs does it quite regularly. what I meant was if your driving along and kids say I need a wee no need to pull over just pull curtains round and away you go, so to speak :lol:
