    lol... You can use a bag.. a shoe.. a bottle. I prefer to find a crapper.. if you can't find a crapper the drive tires will work.... Best answer is find a crapper

    Yes, it can be a challenge when you are not in a home with proper facilities.

    It's not that difficult though.

    Poop is usually easier to control, so any truck stop or rest stop along your way.

    Pee is sometimes harder to control, so having a bottle handy is wise.

    OK, we have decided to reopen this thread, it will be watched carefully. Just remember that we are adults here, and are expected to act as such.

    Just stop at a rest area, truck stop, walmart, etc. If you REALLY get in a bad spot, get a bottle.

    Keep some pinesol on hand to put in bottle, it keeps odors down.

    poop isn't so easy to control. when your 100 miles from a restroom. and you had a bad meal.

    use an app on your phone like mydat. it'll list rest areas. truckstops. and walmarts.

    yeah its situations like that one (100 miles from a restroom) that make me think a small porta potti will be useful

    Honestly in my 7 years of driving both OTR and local I never had one of those. There are truck stops and rest areas all over the interstate. If you know you'll be camping out in front of a shipper/receiver overnight take a dump at a T/S or rest area before you get to the place. Now as far as carrying a urine gallon that's another story. Use one but dispose of the contents properly.
