4. I have no toilet or shower in mine.... My friend has a toilet in his. It smells like porta potty chemicals. Not my cup of tea. My camper has an outdoor shower and my wife and I and our two kids camp where there are not a lot of people. I rigged up a quick copper tube frame for a shower enclosure and we shower outside using a teak shower foot frame . I've even showered outside in the winter. Plus adding a shower and toilet adds weight. For us it's easier to simply go outside like we always have.
Coupla things...
A. If the place smells like porta potty chemicals, he's doin' something wrong. Unbeknownst to me, my Thetford cassette toilet was absolutely FILTHY with #2 inside when I bought the camper. I had no idea until I went to dump it over a year later. Yeah, a year. I never used the toilet the first year, and only did #1 in it a few times on the first trip of the second year before I dumped it.
B. If "adding a shower and toilet adds weight," then is your outdoor setup completely weightless?
