    Do you carry a portable toilet on your truck when you have to go #2 and can’t get to a toilet easily or parked remote?

    I have a 5 gallon bucket and was just going to ordered one of those portable toilet seats that fit them, but saw they have inexpensive portable toilets you can carry and was wondering if they are worth the investment instead? They seem like they would be a hassle to carry around and drain the tank and clean up instead of just pooping in a plastic bag and some kitty litter on top when you are done when the emergency should arise and don’t have quick access to a toilet.

    I have been driving for 18 years and have not once #### in my truck. Granted there are always circumstances, and maybe I just haven’t done it YET. But it’s not as big of a problem as one might think.

    Do you always park at truck stops for your sleep or do you park in isolated areas a lot too?

    5 gallon bucket cut a hole in your floor under the bunk, that way you don't need plastic bags, make sure to center it over the driveshaft, self cleaning you know.

    I agree its better to lean on the truck parked next to you, they won't notice.

    Yea I don’t really want to park in truck stops either, but don’t want to have to scramble quickly somewhere for the morning grinder looking for a bathroom if I am remote or not close to anything, and some places are just out right nasty to do #2 in.

    Maybe I am just over thinking this…
