Interstate Bathroom....er....etiquette
Another naïve question from a newbie, but frankly something I've pondered even before we bought the TT. So, you're cruising down the interstate and suddenly the traffic flow stops. A bad wreck, f...

A couple of years ago, Ed and I were parked for 5 hours on I-75 due to the investigation of a motorcycle death :-( I've read this question before on this forum, so we agreed that the answer to any requests to use the bathroom would be "no" unless there was a really compelling reason. We would simply say our tanks were winterized and we had no water.
But nobody ever asked. People WERE out of their vehicles and milling around - a few asked if we knew what had happened, since we were watching the local news on TV - and being nighttime, it was pretty obvious that a TV was being used.
Finally, the line of traffic started to move - and we laughed about all the wet spots on the pavement; clearly a lot of folks were "checking their tires"....LOL!
Of course, this past January, Ed and I were stuck in traffic during the big Georgia Ice Storm in January. We WERE winterized - heading home into single-digit temps, so did NOT want any liquids in our tanks. Period.
Finally - with bladders full and no way to get off the expressway, we simply pulled over to the right shoulder on a slight left-hand curve; and with the passenger door open - I squatted with my back to the door; and Ed stood behind it. Nobody could have seen anything too awful. "Public pottying" can be accomplished discretely.
