Only concerned with having power and needing a port-a-podi

[arboristjoe]

I am still new, almost have my first Teardrop purchased.

IN terms of long term parking, I can even do without the shower facilities, since where-ever that I end up getting a job, either the workplace will have a shower, or I can join a gym for fairly cheap to have shower access.

My only real needs are some electricity, and a way to deal with having to take a #2 at 3 or 4 in the morning.

So I am guessing there are some unique solutions to this that would still be considered civilized and not barbaric ??

open to suggestions..

cheers

You can make these things from plastic 5 gallon buckets. If you know plumbing you can put a shower head at the bottom of the bucket. For a warm shower paint the bucket black and leave it in the sun.

For the #2 take another bucket and put a seat on it. Hang a walmart bag inside and you can burn the collection.

For electricity, assuming there is a source, carry a 14 gauge exterior rated cord at least 25 feet long. That is the longest I have needed. You may have to depend on a deep cycle battery and a power inverter. Be opportunistic about charging it. I keep a battery charger in the trailer.

thanks Hoyt,

great advice..

I suppose if I look hard enough, there are some products out there as well..

I know that in China they made chair style "seats" for older folks who could not use the Turkish style "plumbing"

It doesn't take much work to find them.:

you are certainly a source of a wealth of useful information ..

I can see myself building a little tarp enclosure around that for privacy, or dare I mount it on the teardrop itself ??

I will check that out.. Spare time is fleeting right now in the aftermath of snowpocolypse, but cannot complain about the extra income with tree damage arborist work these days

have a good evening
