No #2 Rule?

[BurbMan]

So I get an email from a camping buddy this morning who was telling me about his friend who invited him on a guy's weekend in his Class A to attend an event. So my buddy decided to go, and when they arrived at the event, camping site were set up in an adjacent in a field, but they had full hook ups. (My buddy has a huge Class A DP, but figured it would be fun to let somebody else drive for a change.)

The RV owner announces to the group that there will be no #2 in the RV toilet, only #1. Anybody needing to do #2 was to use the porta-pottis that were set up. Apparently this was not just because it was a "guy's weekend", but the guy has owned several RV's, and has always adhered to a "no #2 rule" for the family. His explanation was that it "caused problems dumping the tanks".

Personally one of the reasons I own an RV is to avoid having to use a port-potti for anything, let alone #2.

So the question for the forum is, does anybody else have similar rules on the RV bathrooms regarding the toilet, shower or anything else?

I think this thread is starting to get "stinky". :R

Why would you invite someone to share your RV and then tell them they are not worthy of using your toilet?

There may be something to the old adage that every RV, regardless of size, is best with no more than 6 for cocktails, 4 for dinner & 2 for overnight; but if you invite people along, I can't see treating them as unworthy of "toilet privileges".

That's why matches are kept in the bathroom.

Our only rules are "Have fun" we are camping, you WILL get dirty, you likely will get wet, you will smell of smoke from the fire you can cook over the campfire, wear grubby clothes, no need to look at a the clock or calendar, you don't need to shave every day, or take a shower every day. Food is more likely to come in tin foil from the fire than from a frying pan.

And yes, the shower and toilet work, they are NOT decorations!

If this bothers you, your likely NOT a camper and likely won't have fun with us.

If we do it in the house, we do it in the RV. Something's are more fun in the RV 🙂 Both have same rule No Smoking. We don't smoke, so really, it is not a rule for us.

Dry camping, we do not use the bathroom in the TT at all. I do NOT go to dump stations.
No cooking in the TT, No sitting in the TT unless it is raining to hard to be under the awning. If I was to just sit in the TT. I'd just stay home. The TT is for sleeping, and changing clothes, and hauling our camping stuff to the CG.

Y'all can use yours any way you want. That is how I chose to use mine.

may as well sell the trailer and get a tent.

Everyone has the right to make their own rules. Even if their rules do not seem logical. Me. My only rule is "nothing but toilet paper down the toilet."

As far as rules are concerned ... rules that are nonsense, or made from a lack of the right sense, aren't rules at all. They're something else and it's sad for others to be subjected to them regardless of any right anyone had to make them.

Amen you hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned!!

We use ours for both jobs however I will use the campground facility if it's handy. Never had any troubles dumping either.

My signature wasn't dry on the camper's contract before I got to try it out for a #2.
Oh, Man. That's the way to live. Shoulda bought a camper years ago.
Wipe your feet before you go in, please. That's about the only rule (and no cigarettes).
