Jenn, take a look at the Pee Wee bag:http://www.cleanwaste.com/pee-wee-urine-bag
I read one review where the woman said her daughter could use in the back seat of the car with a towel drape. I also read that CVS might carry one type.

They are a one time use so would probably be costly but I don't think I would want to be carrying the red bottle type back and forth in a camp ground. by the way I would not buy anything in a store that treated me like that - how rude.

The Pett will certainly need the side tent or if we have the Eureka Screen tent up with the sides down that would work.

Last year I found that as much as I like a beer around the camp fire before bed - it created a hike in the night - but a small glass of wine did not.

DIY:

I went through all the PETT and some other ones, and settled on making my own. Since it's just me, it's this or wandering off at 3am into the bush.

Basically, I use the powders in the market's produce plastic bags, 2 and then in the plastic shopping bags... put them in a little sand bucket and works find. Morning, early, just tie a knot and toss away. But again, single male, so not too much of a problem.

Otherwise, I'd try the bucket with seat/lid, would use their bags of course and the Shower Tent. While they are expensive, one scoop or two will be enough for one.

Powders:

Tent: (have the Camp Inn one, but would use the bigger one for showers too)
Shower Tent

I'm converting an older camper into a simple weekend trailer. I'm thinking about installing this instead of building a full bathroom. Do you think it's a practical option, or should I consider something else?

@JhanineB As you read more here you will realize its mostly CampInn 550 or 560 discussions, and since these are small teardrops with no installed potties, the toilet discussion is more about simple fixes, foldable's etc.

If you set your search engine to tearjerkers, or "small campers home-made" you'll find TONS of useful info esp youtube.

On the other hand If you are a webcrawling spiderbot...begone!

Thanks! I searched on YouTube and found a lot of helpful videos. I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. And sorry, I'm new here, so I'm still learning my way around the forum.

I think I know where you're going! The bedroom/galley in the camper, then using a van as a support vehicle? Thats kind of what I'm thinking as well may be the sweet spot!

Look at commercial vans -- they are suprirsingly affordable - though they have few ammenities...But they are clean slates. You don't have to take out a bunch of stuff to put in new stuff. I picked up a Chevy 2500 for $17k with less than 100,000 miles...
