Another option for clean restrooms is airports.&nbsp; If you are near one, go to the 30 minute free parking,&nbsp; run in, do your business and get out.<br><br>Happy Trails!&nbsp; --&nbsp; Kevin<br><A href="http://www.chasinourdreams.blogspot.com" target=_blank>www.chasinourdreams.blogspot.com</A><br>

We use a porta potty purchased from Wmart. Very convenient, no after odor. Care must be taken when sealing the two parts, that the gasket is perfect.<br><br>Emptying can be challenging at times. We just try to take advantage of public restrooms as much as possible to prolong dumping and save chemicals.<img src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0"><br><br>

Hi all,<br>Here's an update on what I initially discussed.<br><br>__&nbsp; Using an alcohol stove for cooking indoors:&nbsp;&nbsp; STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.&nbsp; The liquid aspect of this fuel makes it much too dangerous to use indoors.&nbsp; Even if you use it for outdoor cooking, make sure you have a stable base/stand to anchor the stove in.&nbsp; DO NOT use one of those folding camp stoves that needs to have the fuel source inserted inside through a door.&nbsp; While trying to fish out the alcohol stove from this contraption (after done cooking), there's a very good chance of spilling the fuel and igniting the surrounding area.<br><br>__&nbsp;&nbsp; Using bleach to sanitize/eliminate the smell:&nbsp; For those that suggested this method, thanks so much!!!&nbsp; I tried it and it works great!&nbsp; Just a heaping capfull of bleach in the poop/pee bucket and it removes the smell completely.&nbsp; I haven't even needed to use Lysol at all.&nbsp; Such an easy and cheap solution.&nbsp; Thanks again all you geniuses out there.<br><br>
