Bivvy loo is fast becoming the go to instead of the Thetford!
Much less space and hassle

For me, it has to be the awning and the inflatable sofa bed.
Trying to share the R&R bed with the wife, a dog that insists on sleeping under the duvet and a farting collie got too much, we then added another collie who insists on spread eagling himself on you whilst he is upside down doesn't make for a good nights sleep.
And if the gas emitting from the dog (or the wife) is too odorous then I can always jump in the van.

Given the picture you've painted, it's hard to comprehend why you'd ever stay over in the van!!

If they legalised drink driving then there's no need to camp

I solved the problem of where to store the toilet by getting a matching cushion made for the top and made a ‘skirt’ to wrap around the sides and it’s a very handy seat for using sink or hob or for a foot rest.

We are picking up our first camper on Saturday and are already shopping for all the stuff we need which made me wonder: what is the single most useful thing that you have bought to improve your camper or camping?

Strongest neodymium magnets , buy a pack of small ones , dead handy !

Already have a box like that with plates and cups etc in it…perfect spare seat and foot stool / mini table

Empty lenor bottle is essential guys middle of the night after several beers. Most nights for me when I’m away tbh.
Quick and easy to empty and wash out the next day. It never smells.

Is it better scented than the 1 litre milk bottle that is sufficient for me?

A litre? What are you drinking man?

It is actually. Stays smelling like fresh washing for ages.
Plus the neck on the milk bottle is a bit tighter to fit your chopper in

I’ve managed to half fill a 5L bottle in one night after a good session

Diesel heater.

If you are looking for accessories rather than installed kit -

Ikea mattress topper.

As above. Best bit of kit I have ever bought. Go get one. You’ll never regret it.

 

[R8N XX]

Oh and the wife. But don’t tell her.

Nobody asked me what PB Versions 1 to 3 are. So here you go.

PB1: Chocolate Yazoo bottle - pros: opaque, small enough to hide whilst walking across the site on a morning. Easily replaced at motorway service stations. Cons: very sharp inner neck of bottle. Conclusion: Bin

PB2: Fabric conditioner bottle - pros: no razor blades on neck of bottle. Cons: very difficult to hide on walk across site without a rucksack. Have now associated conditioner smell with toilets. Conclusion: Recycling bin.

PB3: Portable toilet bought under duress during lockdown. Pros: luxurious. Cons: whole family uses it but only I empty it. Don’t want to see any of my family’s droppings, however much I love them. Conclusion: EBay

PB4: Purpose-designed Concertina bottle. pros : Stowable. Large when expanded. Nobody knows what it is. Feasible to hide under jumper walking across site. Nobody else in family wants to use it. Cons: None. Conclusion: keeper.

Happy Friday.

That's the main drawback with most options ... the walk of shame across the campsite to empty.

We call the cassettes on wheels shit suitcases. One very good reason our new bigger van won’t have a loo.

Aye - if I ever had any ambitions to transport shit, I'd at least want paying handsomely for the privilege .
