Porta Potties

Actually, a foam mattress is not necessarily less comfortable than a spring mattress. Temperpedic ones are all foam. High density foam topped with a thick layer of memory foam. I have another brand of the same type of mattress at home, just less pricy than temperpedic. I have similar in the tear from Walmart, and it is actual more comfortable than my home mattress, just muchless expensive. Foam mattresses don't have to be a " little bit of foam .". Mine is 6"' 4 of high density foam and two of memory foam, it does roll up, which was very handy when there was a leak and I needed to dry out the floor. But it only cost less than $200. Slow it's a mistake to assume only a spring mattress can be truly comfortable in a tear. Some of the most expensive and highest quality mattresses on the market are foam.

Kody, start a build thread in the builder portion of the forum and keep adding on to that. It is not just for folks actually building, but for folks planning.

Sorta completely off subject, what brand is your mattress at home? I'll be buying a new one in the next year.

I'm with slow. Campground facilities are generally are clean. I make a point of getting a site near them and don't worry about carrying a can with me.

The risk of a spill and the inconvenience of dealing with black water just isn't worth it.

Other placesigjt be different, but here in he midwest it's not with the pain.

if you need inside room for the GS to sleep a raindrop style trailer would give them plenty of room to sleep in http://tinycamper.com/tourrain.htm Camp inn uses the space to add room for kids to sleep etc. the general idea around here is that the rain drop is a better shape to tow as well. I'm sure if you wanted an inside area for the potty it could go there as well, though I agree with others that it belongs outside (try a side tent like the one in my sig.) you could store it in the front of a raindrop so it didn't need to sit on your bed for travel.
I plan on storing my potty in the tongue box for traveling, my wife liked camping in the tear, except for the walk in the dark woods to the bathroom.

6 1/2 feet by 10 long and the bottom of the inside shelf would make a wonderful place to sleep a pup! Never worried about mud---just sweep it out.

Porta potty was really nice on those real cold nights..Have a tent for nice weather.

I personally preferred an inner spring mattress, I folded up a full size mattress like a taco and shoved it through the door, I had to fight with it because I was doing it by myself, but in 10 min it was in with no permenent bend. Some people incorporate a design to where the wall between the cabin and galley under the counter can be removed and you can slide in and out the mattress that way. Lots of people like the foam too so check em out and see what you like best. I'll be doing some thick wally world foam in my next one because I am broke and it is cheap (Relative to an inner spring that is)...
