-====== Poop and pee ======+====== Where will I poop and pee? ======
  
 +
 +Pooping and peeing are basic human functions that we all must perform.  Bathroom visits are simple in a sticks and bricks house with indoor plumbing but take some planning in a camper.
 +
 +
 +
 +===== restroom facilities =====
 +
 +The simplest approach is to stay near places where toilet facilities are available. This might be in paid campsites, a friend's driveway, [[camping:walmart|24hr stores]],  fast food joints, [[camping:rest_area|rest areas]], etc.
 +
 +===== in the van =====
 +
 +The first thing to know is that **solids and liquids must be kept seperate**((exceptions are plumbed (black tank) and [[toilet:chemical|chemical toilets]], both relatively rare in vans)). 
 +
 +
 +==== pee ====
 +
 +
 +[[https://amzn.to/2GEgBIk|{{ https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41cWrz4V7lL._AC_US218_.jpg}}]]**Peeing in the van** is fairly simple:  pee in a bottle and dump it later.  Gatorade bottles are preferred by many men because of the wide opening.

 +Women and transfolk may find a [[https://amzn.to/2GEgBIkGo Girl]] type device helpful. Consider [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R6844WZOQ0SRA/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B003BEDUS6|this amazon review]]:

 +>I peed everywhere. That bush? Yep. Peed on it! That tree? Uh huh. Peed on it. Those tiny woodland creatures? Screw you, b*tches! Peed on them. I peed in the sun. I peed in the rain. I peed just for fun. I peed down a drain. I peed in the light. I peed in the dark. I peed left and right. I peed in the park...
 +
 +==== poop ====
 +
 +The most common poop recepticle for van use is the [[toilet:bucket|bucket toilet]].  At it's simplest, it's a bucket with some kind of liner for easy removal.  The deluxe bucket toilet (~$20) has a seat/lid and may also involve sawdust or kitty litter.
 +
 +[toilet:composting|Composting toilets]] don't have to be emptied after each use but cost many hundreds of dollars.  See why the bucket is so popular?
