Hi Again Readers!
I am revisiting this topic, since the bumper-dumper =
has
emerged as a potential contender or competitor to my "condiment
toilet". Read the following, and you be the judge:
Sometimes, even the most =
well-learned of us
Westy owners have a call of nature while travelling. I have an =
inexpensive and
convenient solution for those "special moments", when we know =
we're
really alive.
You only need a wooden toilet seat, =
and a
plastic 15 Litre pail with lid (obtained free from any fast food joint, =
commonly
used to hold condiments or vegetable oil, etc) and some small
screws.
Basically, the goal here is to make =
the toilet
seat "snap onto" the pail, in place of the regular =
lid.
You can, if you want, use a router =
and cut a
circular groove into the toilet seat, to the diameter of the pail. Much =
More
trouble than it is worth.
What I did was cut out of the pail =
lid, a disk
inside of the rim, with the goal of using the remaining =
"hoop".
Then, I screwed the hoop onto the =
bottom of the
toilet seat, which can now "snap onto" the pail, in place of =
the
regular lid.
When a call of nature occurs, just =
put a plastic
bag in the pail, overlap the edge of the pail, and snap on the toilet =
seat. No
mess or fuss! Sit down and go to work!
When you are not traveling, just remove the seat and =
hide it
away under a seat, and all you have visible is an inconspicuous pail in =
the van
( unless, you have chosen to "decorate" yours).
Happy Saturday to all!
