There are two types of campers:
- Those who go around the world with their dry toilet perfectly set up...
- And those who end up juggling among the pines with a flashlight in their mouths and a fledgling dignity.
If you belong to the second group: welcome. This post is for you.
Because some things shouldn't be an extreme adventure. Not even peeing in the middle of nature.
The drama of the "mini-bathroom in a minivan"
Owning a small van is like living in a magical cabin on wheels: you can sleep next to cliffs, have breakfast looking at the sea... and also wake up at three in the morning with a desperate need to pee.
And of course, what if it's pouring rain outside in the middle of the night? (IT'S HAPPENED TO ME...).
So you have to choose: do you risk your life in the storm or do you writhe in your sleeping bag waiting for a miracle?
Neither of those ends well. Actually, I discovered a solution that I used for years to pee inside the minivan... but I'll tell you about that in another post ;)
For years, we "minimalist campers" have tried everything:
-
public restrooms in service areas (level: advanced olfactory experience),
-
emergency bottles (level: Olympic aim),
-
female urination funnels (level: Zen practice),
-
and the classic "among bushes", which always ends the same way: with shoes splashed and egos wet.
Until the dry toilet arrived
And then, like a divine revelation (or a great TikTok recommendation), the portable dry toilet appears in your life. The unsung hero: the portable dry toilet . No, we're not talking about a bucket of sawdust. We're talking about the PlanPee dry toilet —lightweight, foldable, supports up to 300 kg, and, most importantly, saves your dignity .
It is literally a foldable, lightweight, resistant box with one mission: to ensure you never suffer from peeing or pooping again (yes, I said it).
What is a dry toilet?
A dry toilet for campers is the clean, eco-friendly, and hassle-free alternative to the traditional chemical toilet. It uses no water or toxic products, generates no wastewater, and cleans in seconds. Simply place a disposable bag inside, do your business in peace, and throw it away afterward. It's that easy!
But listen up: what really makes the difference is on the inside. That's where our secret ally comes in: SolidPee , the absorbent pads that turn pee into gel and neutralize odor in seconds. Yes, even after a hot beer or a gas station coffee.
No blue liquids or suspicious chemicals: just you, a bag, and the promise that this time you 'll come out of it unscathed.
And when you add a sachet of SolidPee , the miracle is complete: the pee turns into gel, the smell disappears and your life suddenly smells like the countryside... but the good kind.
What nobody tells you
Dry toilets aren't just for big vans or eco-conscious hipsters.
It's useful for those who sleep in a car, for those who travel alone, for those who camp in places without services, or simply for those who don't want to play "Indiana Jones and the Lost Toilet" every time they feel like peeing.
Furthermore, it is eco-friendly, reusable, and costs less than a night of camping:
€24.95 for the dry toilet, €12 for the SolidPee, and soon (very soon) the savings pack with both together.
Your bladder and your wallet will thank you.
How to install your campervan dry toilet step by step
If you're more of a do-it-yourselfer than a tutorial-watcher, here's the quick summary:
- Unfold it . The PlanPee dry toilet opens in seconds (no need to be an engineer or assemble IKEA furniture at 2 am). Obviously, if it fits already assembled... leave it set up in your van with a new bag ready for emergencies ;)
- Place the bag . Use a garbage bag or a regular heavy-duty bag if you're in a pinch.
- Add SolidPee . Place one or two sachets at the bottom: they solidify in minutes and add a pleasant scent. In my experience, one sachet is more than enough for a normal pee, and two sachets are enough for a "morning pee."
- Do your thing . Pee, poop, vomit, or existential crisis. Everything is accepted here.
- Close and throw away . When you're done, close the bag and that's it. No trace, no smell, no trauma.
