I want the Smallest Trailer with a toilet

Design & Construction of anything that's not a teardrop e.g. Grasshoppers or Sunspots

Postby Arne » Tue Feb 01, 2005 11:07 am

I was going to try to photoshop one, but it was taking too much time...

Smallest trailer with a toilet would be a porto-potty with wheels..... hard to sleep in, though.....

A bathroom for the Trailer, simple, put it in the truck!

Postby bigpaul » Sun May 22, 2005 2:46 am

:) I am building my own teardrop. It will be 5.5 X 5.5 X 10. (Body) when I am finished. I am 6'4" and don't fold so well. I am building a Bathroom for the Truck. I am going as light as possible. Toilet, Shower, Sink, so I can do the three 'Ss' in the morning. :thumbsup: I really LOVE to cook, so I am concentrating a special effort on the galley. I will have a hi-temp wok, oven, cooktop and smoker when I am finished.
Ready to build, but designing and gathering the goodies FIRST!

here is this one shower, kitchen, tolet but... no place for you to sleep. you sleep in a tent or in the car.


Mebbe I'm missing something (besides my marbles of course), but I thought the idea of a tear or other tt was to sleep inside. :D

Sleeping IN the Tear!

Postby bigpaul » Sun Oct 30, 2005 2:49 pm

:) Absolutely. And that is why I am going to put the Bathroom in the back of the Pick-up. :thinking: Understand! If I go camping and there are no facilities to keep up Hygeine, than I slip the bathroom into the back of the Pick-up. If the destination is a camp ground with bathrooms and showers, then I go light weight and just bring the teardrop. If you build a Pop-Top Tear, then it is possible to put a Porta-Potty into a sealed encloser, that is vented to the exterior, :twisted: and roll it out when needed. But where the Teardrop itself is concerned, I won't add anything that interferes with a good nights rest or a great meal.

Tiki Hut's Toilet

Postby Tiki Dude » Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:24 am

I am building a modified 10 x 6.5 teardrop with an area for an enclosed porta potti. To solve the sitting headroom issue--I'm 6'3--I have sunk the floor and put a skylight over the area. On top of that I am installing solar powered vents to keep it fresh. When it is done I will let you know how practical it is.

Does the plastic bag become unnecessary at speed?? :shock:


You must use the bag. Unless you're backing up. Err.. I mean in reverse. :lol:

Please show us the design - it sounds like several people who've contacted me would like it.

In the meantime, for Arne's smallest competition, is it just for trailers or do motorhomes count?

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

in fact that may be one of the 'mystery' elements. :MLAS

Almost any small trailer with a cabinet of closet that goes to the floor could have a porti potti stuck in it. I'm building in a low cabinet for my porti potti and electrical stuff, and placing the cooler on top of it while camping. You can see it in the 4th diagram on my web page. It wasn't added to the side view (3rd diagram):

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

You guys in Texas could pull that behind your tear if you had a rear reciever setup.

Hey Dean, Why just us in TX ? Can't you do that too ? Or you can't pull 'double' where you are ?

IF you use that receiver hitch dump thing, remember to lift your feet while traveling... otherwise it might put you in a 'go-no-go' position.....

That pic reminds me of something. Does anybody remember the comic strip that had some guy in it that pedaled something that looked llike that "outhouse on wheels"? In the comic strip, it was a pedal tricycle but it looked like that picture. I think it was a spinoff of "L'il Abner" Any other old geezers out there remember it? Might have been one of "Dick Tracy's" friends. (I know it's off topic)
