My TT is so small that I just put the trash can outside right next to the door. When I need to throw something I just open the door, go down one step, lift the lid and chuck it inside.
It is a little inconvenient but, it works. Can't have everything.

Depending on where you camp outside is going to be the best way due to ANTS!
RVs and campsites are not like a sticks and bricks where the ant population can be easily managed, nope, lots of food scraps and people, those darned ants have a habit of seeking and finding the most tiniest molecule of food in your RV.
We have a rule, no open candy, leftover food wrappers, spilled sweet drinks or crumbs left behind in the RV and ALL trash must be put outside.. That rule came into effect when the DW was making fun of me suggesting all the food must be put in zip lock bags.. She didn't listen and poured a bowl of ants out one morning :E changing her tune :S
Now if you are camping where there are BEARS then the trash must be put in BEAR PROOF trash bins.. Would hate to see what happens when a determined bear decides to pop open your RV for a midnight snack.
Ya , I never thought about Bears. We don't have any in my area. A racoon might get into it though. I'm just a weekend camper so anything food like that a racoon could get I just carry down and put into the main dumpster.
I never seem to have trouble with ants.
