RV - Flush It Or Can It?

I put mine in an open bucket so it grosses people out so much that they wont ask to use my bathroom when I'm stuck in traffic on a highway.

Better yet, wear diapers then you can poop whenever and wherever.

Now that's an idea right there lol. Just imagine the possibilities. When out on my kayak tossing lure after lure across the nose of that bass for hours, that just refuses to take interest, no need to paddle to shore when the need comes up, just let er rip. Sort of like some half arsed Mercury asstronaut.

On a road trip? no need to stop at those pesky rest stops, fire away at 70mph.

Just think how much lost time employers could save? No more employees disappearing to the crapper while sneaking in a late morning sandwich.

Bagging the paper makes about as much sense as a 2 story outhouse.

Actually, those used to be quite common. Just sayin

But to answer your question we flush. Not many will admit otherwise on a public forum, but it does occur in real life. I know of two couples who live on the road that use the bag method.

I don't doubt that there are 3rd world places where bagging maybe appropriate.
However my RV, in the good ol USA is not one of those places.
This is not about being a world traveler, it is simply about disposing of human waste in an RV.
Once you bag it are you suppose to throw bag of poo in RV park dumpster?:h

That sounds like such a great idea I'm going to start bagging poo at home too. Don't want to contaminate that toilet!....Good Grief:S

It's more then just that, it's also about people who dehumanize others because they don't have a broader knowledge of the world...Good Grief X2

FWIW, since you're talking RV'ing in the good ol USA try RV'ing along the Mexican boarder on the US side. Go use any public restroom and there is a high likelihood you'll see a trashcan next to the toilet. If you're squeamish don't look in it.

If I happen to be at the Mexican border I'll keep that in mind.
But in the meantime I'll continue flushing my TP.
I'm not screamish at all. I work in the plumbing business and have seen and been involved in worse messes than crappy TP in a trash can.
I don't need broader world knowledge to know TP gets flushed down the toilet. What the rest of the world does with their TP maybe good trivia but their methods have no impact on how I dispose of my TP in my RV
Explain to me the benefits of bagging the TP in my RV? Enlighten me to the advantages of placing a bag of soiled TP in a dumpster. Expand my knowledge. I've been flushing TP down the toilet for 50 years. I didn't know there was a better way. Have I been been doing wrong all these years.:?

Heck, why not just buy a cargo trailer and be done with it.

I gave up...and chalk it up to their total ignorance. They also don't use the shower, the water heater, the kitchen sink, the generator, and seldom the air conditioner.
I'm like...well why didn't you just buy a tent??

The whole reason I bought my trailer is so I never again had to wonder what was living in the campground bathroom at night. The fact that it came with a kitchen that stayed clean and bug free was an incredible bonus. I can't imagine not using all of those great features I'm towing along behind me!

I don't live in a 3rd world country. I live in the USA.

My trailer is designed to handle #1, #2 and copious amounts of paper and water.

When and if I go to a 3rd world country I will do what they do. I love the country I live in and want to see the over half I have never seen. And no, I have no desire to go anywhere where I have to wipe with my hand or eat bugs like some do in other parts of the world.

When I'm in my own trailer I will do what it is designed to do in a 1st world country; the USA. :)

Just curious, how many of you flush TP down and how many of you put it in the waste basket.

Inquiring minds...

Has living in California polluted your mind, is this a new green way of protecting the environment or what, this way ought to really smell things up bad..
