My toilet solution is similar to yours. It's a plastic 42.5oz Maxwell House can. The great thing about it is that doggie bags fit in it perfectly. Doggie bags are about $10 for 300 at Walmart. This saves my grocery bags for trash, and I generally shop with reusable totes since I'm not always trying to accumulate plastic bags to poop in. Urine goes into a different water tight container, separated from poop like a composting toilet. I rinse the urine bottle when I discretely dump it out in the weeds, away from where people go. It's been a good system for many months now. I too have been using only castile soap. I used to wash my dishes with it but now I spritz them with diluted white vinegar and wipe with a paper towel. The vinegar cuts grease.
I like that 2nd jug concept for securely storing waste bags. Currently have a collapsible toilet and coffee container combo also 😊 Dryer sheets wha? Fancy with the bidet lol! Thanks for the tips!
I tell you, that coffee container is so handy! Especially with the collapsible toilet! I love my little culo cleaner..lol. Thanks for your support! Hopefully you received the stickers by now, too!
Yes please to the poop video! And a review on the folding loo. I think that's the type I've been looking at those on Temu. Been wondering if they are a good buy,
At the beginning, you had something shining a light toward the back of your SUV... looked like it was behind the seat facing back. It seems to have lost power. Wood pellets are light and can absorb a lot of liquid waste. If I am not showering, I use Disposable No Rinse Bathing Wipes. it only takes 1/4 cup of water, and as a bonus, you can re-used to clean hard surfaces of your car.
I realized it was my little "night light". When it shut down it made a weird noise so that in combination with the flashing lights was a little creepy. LOL. I've heard good things about the wood pellets. I think I'll see if Tractor Supply has some and give them a try. I like the Dude Wipes, they come in super handy!
I need to make an updated video on my toilet process…stay tuned! 😁 I ended up taking 2 of the 3 seats out of the 2nd row. Game changer for sure and way easier than I thought it would be.
If you use 70% Isopropyl alcohol in your Dollar Tree spray bottle, and spray around all the edges/entry-exit areas in your car, then you will prevent any bugs, rats, and mice in your car. They can't stand the smell and won't cross into your car.
It’s a kids kitchen from Ikea. 😁 It’s where I store my Life PO4 battery and inverter, plus non-perishables. I just cut some holes in the back of the cabinet to allow wires to run from the battery to the inverter, kind of serve as vents, too.
Hi, first time I've never heard of using the dryer sheets for condensation. Can you please provide a bit more detail, or demo? Is that just one sheet every night, for example? How thoroughly do you have to wipe the window's surface? Do the sheets leave any residue? Anything else in the way of details is appreciated. Condensation on the windows is a problem that I am eager to solve, primarily because it tips off that someone (me!) is in the car, thus undermining stealth. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I just rub the dryer sheets all over the inside of the windows as if I were dusting them. I haven't noticed any weird residue. It's the wax in the dryer sheets, it helps prevent moisture absorption on the windows. Depending on how much my son puts his fingers on the glass (LOL), I can usually get away with doing it 1-2x per month. Whenever I clean the inside of the windows, I go ahead and give them a good rub down with the dryer sheets.
I prefer using a urinal with a female attachment for urine or a Nutella or peanut butter jar... I use horse bedding pellets for the toilet incase things are not solid or there is a little urine that leaks out, older woman here. A sock with cat litter or silicone pellets on the dash at night can take care of condensation. Bidets are wonderful... TP is really barbaric. Beautiful rig and great tips.
I’ve used pine pellets for pee in a bucket lined with Costco kitchen. We typically camp for 4-7 days so use 2-3 bags…urine only for nighttime/typically 1 person.
@anitzsimmons3599 Hi, Condensation is one problem I have been unable to solve. Would like to know more about your method. What type (or brand) of cat liter are you using? How much? Are you using it for one night then disposing it? What about the silicone pellets -- type and/or brand? Thank you.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! I tried using the female attachment but it kept overflowing :-( Luckily I tried in the shower first...LOL. I keep hearing about the horse pellets so I think I may give that a try, too. I've never heard of the cat litter!! I think I'll need to also give that a try this coming winter!
@@Gwen3344 I just got the cheapest clay type kitty litter and filled an old cotton tube sock most of the way up then tied it shut with an overhand knot. It worked for years until I cut it open last winter to get un stuck on an icy spot in a parking lot. When I noticed the condensation was starting to build again, all I did was set the sock out in the sun on a warm dry day or set it near a heater register for a few days. I hope this helps.
The Bounce dryer sheets are also good for getting bugs off the windshield.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Your emergency toilet is really nice. You gave me a good tip👍
Awesome, I’m glad it’s useful! ❤️
Thanks for the practical tips! I think vanlife crowd, especially newbies, need more things like this.
You are most welcome! Glad this video is useful! :-)

Great pointers! Thank you so much for sharing! You know, I have plenty of doggie poop bags for Sky so I’m going to try that! 🤪

@@DeezRoads Yes stickers arrived and thanks so much!
@roxanes43 Yay!!! 😁
Really good unique list I've not heard before. Wow really, dryer sheets?!?!? I will have to give that a try, thanks.
Awesome, glad to hear that!! Yup! Dryer sheets!! I couldn't believe it either. Apparently the wax helps to prevent moisture build up.
Thank you for the video. I'm going to try the dryer sheets, culo clean 😂and s hooks.
Nice!! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your feedback and I hope you enjoy these hacks!

Poop video it is! LOL I've had it now for around 7 months or so and it's held up pretty well.
I use a Folgers coffee can at night in my car for toileting. Glad I’m not the only one
Yesssss!!! 😁 The coffee can club!! Lol.
Thank you for sharing
Absolutely! You’re welcome!
Hi I found your channel today I'm watching you from Texas several useful tips I haven't seen before from you and in the comments thanks for sharing
Glad you found this useful! We have a great community over here for sure!!

@@DeezRoads I actually use scrubzz.
they are even better and clean perfectly!
Great video kid. Hey Skye
Thank you! Sky says "woof, urrggg, woof".
I would love to see your toilet set up process. Also, how did you go from not being able to sit up to now? I wish I could.
I need to make an updated video on my toilet process…stay tuned! 😁 I ended up taking 2 of the 3 seats out of the 2nd row. Game changer for sure and way easier than I thought it would be.

Great ideas! I will watch your other videos too! Sweet pup! 😊 I tent camp with my dogs but we need A/C, it is still 90+ outside here where I live. 😵💫
That is awesome! Thanks so much for your support! 90* -ugggg. :-(
What kind of cabinet is that behind you? Where did you get it?
It’s a kids kitchen from Ikea. 😁 It’s where I store my Life PO4 battery and inverter, plus non-perishables. I just cut some holes in the back of the cabinet to allow wires to run from the battery to the inverter, kind of serve as vents, too.

@@DeezRoads Great! Thanks for the feedback. This and the cat litter in a sock method are tips I am definitely going to try.
Sure thing! I’m going to try that one out, too!! The more, the merrier. Lol

@anitasimmons3599 Very clever!
You’re supposed to leave Clorox, etc, on surfaces for several minutes to disinfect, too.
Yes, indeed! Thanks for stopping by!
does castille soap work on grease like from hambugers?
Yup! I get rid of the excess grease first and then it works like a charm!
Krud Kutter!
Thanks for sharing! I had never even heard of that!
