..but that doesn't mean we won't use it. We just won't use the water inside. Many people often think they can't use their RV after they winterize it. You can if you will be at a location with a bath house....

When traveling from the midwest south most CG's are closed Oct 1, until you hit the real southern states BUT there ARE some CG's that stay open. Usually the ones you can see from the interstate. They just don't have water hookups.
Their bathrooms/showers/laundry are 'always' open.
Carry a few bottles of water for washing hands, etc. For all else use the CG bathrooms!
Part of my route from north to south had no CG's open. Not EVER wanting to use gas and/or rest area station toilets 'while on the road traveling' so.....
I purchased a thetford porta pottie for the trip down with a winterized RV. For if nature called while on the road between CG's I did "NOT" have to use a public toilet!!
Looks and sits EXACTLY like the toilet in the RV. Has a removable cassette underneath that acts like a mini black tank. Placed it next to my RV toilet and when I reached a CG if I used it, the bottom comes off with a swivel pipe that you dump down the sewer hookup or a bathroom toilert. You don't see it or smell it. Real slick.

Depending on how much you think you might need it you can buy models with different size holding tanks! :B
Walmart used to sell them for around $60 bucks. I found it very useful.
