I don't know about a bidet, but the Japanese paperless toilets ARE already being used in some of the RV's of the super rich. Some good friends of ours have one in their RV and one in the casita on their RV lot. I tried it but I still prefer paper. Maybe it's just something you had to learn to be OK with.
A lot of Americans who go to southern Europe, especially Italy, either are uncomfortable with a bidet or don’t know how to use them.
I was stationed in Japan when I was in the army back in the late 1960’s and back then their toilets were just a few inches off the ground; you really had to squat down to use them. Maybe today things have changed.
Fact is every nation does not use the toilet the same way and people do become accustomed, or conditioned, to using the toilet the way they do in that person’s particular country or culture. Using toilet paper as we Americans do is a hard habit to break, regardless what other options are available.
