The Urinal is in place

There will be a composting toilet. But those require to separate #1 and #2. So even for peeing one needs to sit down. Unacceptable for any self-respecting man. Therefore, my camper will be one of the few ones (the only one?) with a urinal.

And now it is mounted with a 12l container. Will try this soon. There is a smell barrier. If that does not work, I will install a syphon. But for that I need water flushing. The current urinal does not need water, remains dry. 

It will be in the bathroom, which I will hopefully be able to seal completely so that smells remain there and are sucked out with a vent. I hope to keep the rest of the camper smell-free.


Container for 12 liters. I cut a hole in the lid, then filled the gaps with black Sikaflex.


Temporary mounting of the Urinal. Will be tested in a few days.

Important for men: a urinal

One evening last weekend in Switzerland I drank a few cups of tea in the evening. It was raining outside, pouring down, and I enjoyed a few hot cuppas (with milk of course).

Then during the night, nature called: every two hours I had to leave the camper and visit the camp ground facility, walking outside through the pouring rain. This is because my camper does not yet have any toilet facilities.

So a few days later I ordered this from eBay :

Urinal from eBay

It is a pit pricey, but this is the only urinal I could find that was NOT made out of ceramics, but is out of plastic, which is much more suitable for my purpose of this thing being in the (light-weight) camper.

Will soon mount it in the van temporarily, with a container, and with a privacy curtain.
