Wasn't sure where to post this, had almost misread pet stop thread thinking it was PIT stop thank god, I looked at it again, if I put my thread on there, people would have wondered what the Sam Hill I was thinking!!

I am NOT going to get my Happier Camper tow trailer 'cause I saw became smitten with both the Juicy car(avan) literally and the Lost RV vehicles

https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2015/05/29/jucy-campervan-unusual-rvs-road-trip/27812107/

and they are too small to support even a portable toilet the size of a Curve one and after hours of research, yes, yes, I should take up a hobby 🙂 but if ANYONE ever asks about toilets, they can just go here :B

I was going to get a Green Elephant commode (seems the sturdiest of the ones with metal fold up legs) but then someone made a comment that you had to have bags under them because of the legs which I would think that people would do anyway, those some with metal legs you can do without a bag as they do not criss cross but then I thought the only fold up commode that does NOT have crossed metal legs underneath is the Reliance 45 Plastic Fold up, looks like you do not need a bag, or the Cleanwaste Go Anywhere Portable Toilet,(has someone tried both and can tell which is better,) can you put it over a small hole in the ground and use it that way or does anyone know if either DO need a bag? I just read that the seller of Cleanwaste recommends to go to the Eco Toilet system, has anyone used the Boombox http://www.eco-safe.net/???

I like the one from China ZTDM, but no reviews do you think the seat is an air seat, it has a plug, would NOT make sense to put a water in it would it, unless there is a bidet squirt on it somewhere (pretty cool if there was LOL!) Or maybe I should use the bedside commodes (as many people criticize the metal legs ones as not being sturdy) or would it be too high if I put it in the car (would only use these all at night for peeing, other times always use camp or public bathrooms.)

I think this is the best though, it looks sturdy and you do not have to use bags or buy chemicals and stuff you need in those cassette or dual bowls, I think I should stop now, have been searching all night :S

I realize that backpackers in the wilderness often dig "catholes"; but I'm going to assume that anywhere you can drive a vehicle, will offer rather "dense" concentrations of catholes, which should be discouraged.

We carry a Luggable Loo with kitty litter and WAG bags. Yes, this puts a plastic bag and the contained pathogens in a landfill - which is better, IMO, that the possibility of pathogens leaching into our surface waters from catholes.

YOU are the only one talking about "heavily used campgrounds." You know nothing about the OP's circumstances or where they camp.

Perhaps somewhere, but not in general for dispersed camping in National Forests -

To dispose of feces, dig a hole 6 to 8 inches deep, at least 100 feet from any water source, campsites or trails.
When you're done, fill the hole with the dirt you dug up and place your toilet paper in a sealed Ziploc baggie for disposal in a proper waste container.

Use a "drop down" hitch then! :B

Or better yet, just put the bucket right on the ground! :S

Your quest has gone from vans to small trailers with an apparent desire to have a small unit but you were looking for a mini toyhauler so you could take bicycles. If this is correct why not get a very small trailer (with a functioning bathroom) and tow it with a minivan or small suv which could carry your bikes, or if this is unsuitable mount a bike carrier over the propane tank or off the rear bumper.
Trailers wise, the a Palomini, R-pod, scamp, casita or one of many others would be able to be towed by something like a dodge caravan or ford explorer.
You would have tanks to allow normal functioning toilets, shower, sink and be self contained for even a few days off grid, no bags, no kitty litter, no gels.

I'm not too big on indiscriminate waste locating. IMO, there is no need. The modern cassette toilets work great or fixed toilet facilities are abundant. There are also many laws on the books that are in effect at National Forests and Parks. Dig a hole or shake a bush in one of those and you may be spending a lot of money on fines and abatement.

Having said the above, I've been the owner of a few outhouses and have used the hole in the woods when hunting. I probably didn't damage the environment but, as said, there is little need to do that again.

The Happier Camper has a dry toilet, think the brand is called Lavose, but got some negative reviews, and it is WAAAY (sic) too big for this vehicle, take up half the car, AND like it SIMPLE!!!

I was thinking of only going in the open if it was very remote ya know like where people bury their stuff not in a crowded camping area.

....and you move the outhouse every couple years and plant the garden on the old spot.

Becoming civilized has certain drawbacks. Digestion of food is the first part of the total organic breakdown actually.

Beside, you cannot plug one up either....

John, not talking about middle Tennessee but heavily used California campgrounds...and lazy Californians.

[Lwiddis]

Sidecar, we are not talking about your farm for heavens sake but rather heavily used campgrounds. You you want that amount of human poop on five acres of your farm at six inches depth or less from lazy campers? And campgrounds by their very nature and use are going to have hard compacted soil...unlike your farm. Lazies are not going to dug even four inches.
