Ha ha, nice one! Bet the awning smells nice on those hot summer days. Still, made me chuckle!

Especially if they've got a groundsheet

It is a breathable one thank god! I must say that due to us not using the caravan bathroom in our last van when I woke in the middle of the night I was DYING to go for a wee and had to nip out to either toilets or bush! Now with the new van I will be able to go indoors! I honestly can't see the problem with being a descreet urinator! Having done more rough camping that the average bear in connection with my fishing I can honestly say that if there are midges there are midges end of story! Rats and vermin (i include foxs in that statement) are deterred by human urine. Now p*ssing on plot is not cool and yes of course that is out of order. I think people forget that enjoying the great outdoors is enjoying the great outdoors and rules are a little more wide than usual. I'm from the country myself so peeing in a hedge is the norm when out and about in countryside, but I wouldn't p*ss on my neighbours doorstep!

Anyone see the 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' programme on channel 4 the other night? 

The couple due to marry were looking around the caravan dealers for a van WITHOUT a toilet in it, they said that they considered an inside loo to be unhygienic and would always use the outside facilities instead

<!--bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img",1);//-->We have just been through a phase of my hubby needing the loo for a pee at a mins notice literally, and could not wait due to kidney stent surgery, so we did a bit of thinking, and started saving our spent plastic milk containers and rinsing them out to make disposable urinals.

They work well with there wide necks as long as you have a steady hand, but if not, and in the case of us ladies, just take a pair of sturdy scissors and cut out the top quarter portion opposite the container handle, although the best one for us girls is the 6pinter size which then fits between thighs and goes further back!

The spent ones then can be covieniently disposed of at the nearest covienient point, and in the case of those for the girls who have had to cut the top off one to use it, just pop a handfull of cat litter in the bottom to absorb the liquid if you cannot dispose of it straight away, then tie it up in a carrier bag!
