HOW TO GO TO THE BATHROOM IN YOUR SUV | Honda CRV Camper Conversion

imagine for a moment if you will that you are traveling in your vehicle you're in an urban environment maybe on the side of the street like i am right now and you really got to go and there's nothing open near you you don't want to move your vehicle because you don't want to lose your spot or whatever it is maybe you're in a walmart parking lot and the walmart has closed and it is late and boy oh boy you gotta go nature is calling and she is calling loud and clear i'm gonna show you what i do to get out of such uh tricky situations so here we go trip tips portable folding toilet i'm going to show you how i put this thing together in a real hurry and exactly how i use it in the vehicle so that i have total discretion and privacy while i'm doing my business in an emergency situation so up here underneath my center console i just have this old uh cooler and i store a bunch of electronics and stuff and in there i keep these eight-gallon garbage bags okay i'm gonna show you how i use these in combination with that toilet and of course i don't really have to go right now but i'm simulating it for your viewing pleasure so you can figure this out i'm going to collapse my seat as such then i'm going to reach back here and i'm going to pull that forward now i don't have my cooler in here i have it in the front seat but if i did it would still be okay because what i'm after essentially is this floor space that i've created behind the seat now that is usually under the seat my cooler sits right about here but you still have enough floor space even with that okay so i'll give you a better look at it there there you go shelf and everything up here and that floor space is what we're going to use so again it's the trip tips outdoors portable folding toilet i bought this on amazon and like everything else like most of my other videos i will link this below for you just pull it all out of the bag you'll see right here that is the toilet seat itself this is all folded up it's accordion style that's going to be the frame and this oval kind of dish that's the base now you open this you just open this up and throw your base inside until this thing here conforms to that shape this base is going to give it shape and structure just like that it just sits in there no problem easy peasy and then all you do is take your lid and put it on top of the whole thing and there you go you now have a bucket with a toilet seat that you can put your plastic bag in to act as your barrier again i just use eight gallon garbage bags you can double up if you feel you need to take the toilet seat off okay throw your bag inside and just get your bag around the edges of the bucket and then put your toilet seat just like that and then put your toilet seat back on and that's what you're looking at you've got a nice very sturdy bucket you've got your bag inside and you're ready to go quite literally so all i'm going to do is just hop up here on the bed put this down as you can see there's lots of room and then you just sit right on that guys you push that bag down in get it against the walls if you need to and you just get yourself ready to go to the bathroom just like you would anywhere else if you want you can uh crack a window but again i recommend cracking the sunroof for ventilation also if you have a little fan which you know i do and i highly recommend you have one of these whether you're traveling in a van or a minivan or suv or whatever it is get yourself a usb or other power source fan so that you can circulate some air in here while you're doing what you got to do the thing that i love about this whole setup is that it's so compact you can get yourself a bucket everybody knows that um but this thing is just there's nothing to it it folds up just push that down out of there and it will fold up and away and it folds flat and there's just there's nothing to it it's just so so easy to store and it fits right back in that bag and it when it's all folded up and put away in that bag it's probably only about two inches wide and about 10 inches tall so there you have it you guys just a quick little video to show you how i go to the bathroom when i have no other option when i can't get to a walmart when everything's closed it's late at night i'm in an urban environment and i can't obviously just walk into the wilderness because i'm in a city or town or what have you on the side of the road somewhere and this really does work for me i've used it several times i know again it's a bit of a situation that people don't like to talk about but it's important that we do because you need to have options now when you're done and you've done the thing and you've got the window cracked and you've got your fan going and you're finished of course you've done everything you need to do what you want to do then is take your bag your garbage bag maybe put it in another one tie it tight and exit your vehicle and find the nearest trash bin and throw it away okay don't throw it in you know a sewer or something don't throw it you know in just in nature find a trash bin that is collected by the city and throw it in the trash bin when if you know nothing's going to kind of leak out so make sure your garbage bags are you know strong enough and if they're not if they're thin like these ones are a little on the thin side but i just tend to double these up so double them up do what you have to do to make sure that nobody is dealing with your mess okay and then just go ahead and find a public trash bin and throw it away and that's how you do it guys that's it well that's going to wrap it up you guys thank you so much for watching this quick little video about how i go to the bathroom when i'm in an urban environment and i have no other option i hope it helps again i'm going to link this below so you have it and uh from me to you happy holidays thank you for watching uh please like and subscribe if you haven't done so already
