Living in my car

[Snikwahjm]

Kaylee, it isn’t really all that large. That oil pan in the link is huge. I didn’t see one the size of mine. Walmart has them, maybe Menards, etc. I think it holds 10 quarts. It is plenty for just me. Or just empty it more frequently for two. I empty the poop bucket as needed.
I had the rear seat of the FIT folded up so it went between the front and back seat with the back of the seat still up with the box in the well so it would be somewhat private - there was plenty of space above. I sit a ways forward to use it so not much knee space in the car. It’s in the house until I find some kind of van. In the van, this is not stressful. I really like it. The plastic lined container for pooping in works great. I was sent some kind of kit to poop in from my insurance company, it got rained on, cardboard return box died and they sent another one so I got to keep the container. I had to mail a specimen in the other container. TMI... I’m sure you could find some container or another to use there. This one is the perfect size for one dump and the trash bags go on just fine. We had a luggable Loo and I was always afraid it would tip over. This won’t tip. It sets lower than a bucket so it fit under the van bed nicely. The seat is more comfortable than a bucket. The seat is patterned after an outhouse seat. The seat sits on a lip made from some pieces of wood screwed on just the depth of the seat. You have to allow for the lip when you built it or the tank won’t come out. When we first use the potty box we lined it with a hospital pad we had around just in case of leaks. We had no leaks and I used it for a few months before I got a toilet put in my house. That’s a whole nuther story.
