Toilets
Going to the toilet on the road. I've read lots about all sorts of methods that people come up with to go to the toilet on the road. Stories of buckets, going to the toilet using plastic bags or in a kitty litter type sand. Okay, fine, that's all right for some. For me I figure if there's one thing you have to fork out for it is a porta potty. They cost about $100-$125 new in Australia. You can occasionally pick them up at garage sales or on eBay for about $60-80. They do tend to hold their value. If you can get hold of one of these, living in your car will be a lot more bearable than almost any other method of going to the toilet.
I have had to use a bucket to go to the toilet in a car before once when camping on an overnight trip to Sydney when I got the runs. It was not at all pleasant. I wasn't very impossible, but it was not pleasant. The bucket was half filled with water and I did have toilet paper but it was not all that easy. If you can get hold of a porta potty. it will make you life so much easier. They generally have a container to store wastes in, a container for flushing water and air tight seals to keep the smells inside of the container. They are usually easy to empty and have redesigned to prevent spillage.
