I don't know how many (if any) of the other responses are from women, but here are my 2 cents from a woman's point of view on using a RV toilet. *Some* rv toilets are a nightmare for women, as we need to sit down and, ahem, wipe when done, even with #1. Some RV toilets just don't give a lot of "clearance" for this maneuver without encountering the liquid that is in the bowl, especially after performing #2. It is gross. Beyond gross.
I think it has to do with the diameter and depth of the bowl. I've had experience with 4 RV toilets now, two were el-cheapo plastic models, one was a residential height porcelain, and the current model is a low/wide RV height porcelain. The ONLY one I liked to use was the residential height model - something about the dimension of that bowl gave me clearance to do what I needed to do. I don't remember the make/model of it, as we sold that fiver back in 2011. But I would give anything to have that RV potty back - I am to the point that I would rather hike to the bathhouse than use the commode in our current Voltage.
My wife (and I) always flush first prior to wiping, then flush again. Problem solved.
