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!

Not a truer word said, from a man who's from the country. If you notice it's just normally the ladies who wine about it anyway, I think they're just jealous they can't do it stood up like us blokes!
Loving this thread by the way, keeping me amused while its wet and cold outside!
French men pee where they like, we were on a site last year and men just went to the wire fence round the edge of the pool, got it out and peed through the fence onto the surrounding grass/bushes. we could not believe what we had seen, we saw a lot more of it on our travels in France last year.
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!

If you do that and you like to buy farm Scrumpy (often sold in the same style plastic milk bottles) then BE VERY CAREFUL!!
