8 Bathroom Solutions for Car Living/Car Camping

[@BrookeandPippa]

**UPDATE** since this video was made Leave No Trace Principles have been updated for SUMMER 2022 and LNT is asking that all campers, hikers, etc PACK OUT ALL HUMAN WASTE. Yes, that means bagging your poop just like you would for a dog. PACK OUT YOUR POOP :) Happy Camping!

[@kathleenf2809]

Yuck

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Heck just were a diaper and discard like a baby diaper. No squatting, then clean and dispose like you do a diaper. Keep the environment clean. Remember to use wipes, not toilet paper.

[@kimwade6249]

Yes.. that’s what I would do… no difference from picking up my dogs poop..

[@barbaravecchio5600]

I cleaned out and reused a large peanut butter jar. The mouth of it is large enough and the lid can be used when necessary.

[@angelgirldebbiejo]

Be careful doing that, i have a criminal justice degree and you can get charged and have to register as a sex offender. I saw many arrested for peeing outside. I just go into fast food joints to pee. I hang in cities though.

[@cdlund2840]

You are the first person brave enough to really talk about the bathroom issue. Most tubers won't even answer questions about it. Appreciate your candor and real experience.

It is natural but the reason human society developed sanitation and sewage systems was because human waste everywhere was a health hazard … it’s lucky that only a minority of people excrete in public places like this . If we all did it doesn’t make a nice thought :(

I worked for Amazon for several months, driving one of those huge blue vans, during COVID . . . when there were no open to customers bathrooms anywhere. I used a pee cup like yours, but modified somewhat. I placed a quart Ziplock bag inside the cup, folding the top couple of inches outside the cup. Inside the Ziplock bag, at the bottom, I placed half of only the absorbent part of a baby diaper (cut the rest of the diaper away with scissors). I bought Dollar Tree packs of diapers - very inexpensive. When done peeing, zip up the Ziplock. Toss when at next trash bin. The portion of diaper absorbs the liquid and ALSO COUNTERACTS ODORS.

[@angelat.8997]

Another tip: While you’re experimenting with methods, you may want to buy some puppy pads, to cover the seat (or floor, depending) when peeing inside your vehicle. The last thing you need is a puddle on the seat, while trying to enjoy the open road. Lol.

[@BrookeandPippa]

Puppy pads in the bottom of your camper toilet helps to prevent messes.

Have found pee cup also. For pooping, carry a small stack of newspapers. Put 2 or 3 sheets spread on floor, poop on to newspaper, wipe with adult personal wipes. Place wipes on the poop and carefully fold paper with poop & wipes wrapped tightly inside into a small bundle & throw away in trash can when you stop for gas. If you are nervous about bundle coming apart you can place bundle in a plastic bag after you have finished. The wipes are great for a fresh feeling & clean hands. The newspaper has ink that helps with odor till you get to dumpster.

[@carolinesmercantile4290]

I was driving a few hours to visit family with my infant and became very "ill". I had cramps that came out of nowhere and had absolutely NO time to prepare, so without any shame, I pulled off and used my son's baby diaper. I already was good at taping them shut right away nice and tight and tossing them in proper receptacles. I advise keeping a few on hand because they will absorb it all (poo, pee, or vomit) and there is no concern regarding spillage. There is no shame in any of this, especially if you are sick. They are also great for your emergency kit if you ever should have to cover a bleeding wound.

[@lisalu910]

So what ARE the "proper receptacles?"

[@pjt3887]

Finally someone admits to having diarrhea while camping. Thanks for your honesty and all your great ideas.

[@kathleenbrock2746]

I had a really bad case of diarrhea after a Fourth of July potluck picnic and after several weeks of Imodium I took one Pearl size dab horse dewormer and that did the trick. Good to keep in your first aid kit and use whenever you're not feeling so good. A little dabble do ya! Haha! Safest drug that big Pharma ever made. The reason it works so well is that it does not kill the parasites but rather paralyzes them and when you're immune system takes them out it is also taking out all the bacteria and viruses that we're feeding on that still living parasite. I trust horse dewormer because horses have very sensitive stomachs and they're not going to add anything bad. Available at your local feed store without a prescription because the horse Lobby is so strong.

[@terminatortsw8006]

Yes and the biggest scam in American history is the “composting toilet! Not ONLY is there ZERO “composting” happening, but you can’t use a composting toilet WITH diarrhea, vomit, menstrual blood and tissues, or ANY antibiotics or strong psychiatric or chemo medications.. and human feces has OVER 300 TRILLION pathogens! Now that more people are camping as a lifestyle and even homeless, THEY CAN NOT poop in our dwindling forests, woods, land, etc. Pathogens sink into our water tables. The Colorado River which supplies CA with water, is so contaminated people don’t drink the water!

I knew a woman that was in her 70s that had been mostly living out of her car for years. She had monthly income but had so many bad experiences renting it was pretty much the choice she had made. We were friends and as such I knew that she had bladder control issues and routinely wore an adult diaper. She told me this and it was because she was tired of having accidents. This meant that she would often have to use a bathroom that was suitable for getting "cleaned up". As an adult one should learn that you have to have respect for people that deal with their own burdens. Turns out she had cancer and was more or less "dying" the whole time I knew her. Found out that something urgent had happened and she went to the hospital for something that wouldn't ordinarily be considered that bad. She never left the hospital under her own power. Rest in peace, Kim. The diaper idea may be a good option for some people especially if you are going to be on an Interstate highway for hours because waiting for an exit ramp leading to a nearby bathroom or even just a place to park may be a mistake.

[@luv2travel2000]

Good suggestion. Hopefully it is never needed but better to be prepared.

Started w portable potty. Has same condensation issues & kitty litter is added weight to carry(I’m in Subaru Crosstrek). I use female funnel outside. No squatting, can be wearing skirt & no one knows. The freedom of feeling like a boy is amazing!! (Haven’t been in snowy area BUT you know I’m writing my name in snow the 1st time🤣) I practiced practiced practiced in shower to learn pee funnel. In my suv I prefer my Nancy’s 64oz yogurt container. It’s low, it’s wide. It’s lid holds liquid without spillage. Put that doggie pee pad underneath & fold up for reuse when you’ve been "a good, good girl" & haven’t spilled. Just an idea that I use-no tp. None. I bought couple packs of washcloths@Walmart ($6 for 18) in white. I cut each cloth in 1/2. Just throw in with laundry. In my suv, I’ve got my hillbilly bidet squirt bottle to keep clean & healthy. After the Covid TP fiasco of 2020, I decided to save $$$ & the washcloths have actually been great. Also got few packs of black washcloths for, well, you know. You CAN poo in yogurt container, too. I don’t mix poo/pee. Pee is stored in detergent container til I find a public toilet. *IF you’re worried about someone seeing your bare bum peeing in trees-you will NEVER see them again. Stand up straight & proud with your empty bladder & no wet pants&go live your best life! Thanx so much for video.

There is never a time to be embarrassed about having to go 1-2. Been caught pooping in numerous times. By people looking to do the same thing. It’s okay.

[@gettingintrospective]

Poop in a bag. That's what I came here for. Thank you for the instructions. Diarrhea in the night is one of my biggest fears when starting car living. Thank you! ❤ I've been using a Tinklebell for years now. I can whip it out like a dude and pee standing up. I never see anyone talk about it, but it is a blend of hard plastic and soft silicone while being open for easy cleaning. And you can use it to wipe, negating any need for toilet paper. The edge is smooth so it's not like scraping with hard plastic

[@grlnexdoorable]

Carry puppy pads and cut one in half, put it in the bottom of a grocery bag and hold a handle in front and a handle in back. Then use baby wipes.

[@Lindasromperroom]

You are the first person I have watched who has talked about options for people with bad knees.

[@shannonjones5198]

Instead of a pee cup I have adapted an ice cube holder that usually would be in the freezer. Its the rectangle plastic container that is 7 or 8 inches high and as long as an ice cube tray. Its excellent. Never fills up, never spills, easy to clean and easy to slip between your legs when you need it, standing or squatting.

[@jackdaw7751]

As a parent I have traveled with a low tech potty training "toilet" and I think it's worth consideration. Some fold up, some are one piece...they are small, but if you are squatting you aren't sitting on them anyway the size is less important. Some of them have a removable bowl that you can put a plastic bag on. Keeping an umbrella (or two) in your vehicle for privacy can be really helpful as well.

[@Gina-Psalm139]

I was thinking of this also, after raising kiddos & taking long car trips we always had a potty chair with us, I was wondering why no one else has ever mentioned this option

Everybody poops, and when you gotta go, you gotta go. Some of these ideas are great for peeing while fishing for hours on a boat. My husband uses an empty plastic 2 lb coffee container then puts the lid back on.

Thanks you so much.

[@microgreensgrower3946]

For #2 I use a 2 gallon bucket with noodle padding around the rim. I use a disposable bag with the small compressed wood pieces (like the pellets used in a pellet stove) or used in animal cages (purchased at north 40). It absorbs liquid & odor perfectly. I store my roll of disposable bags, TP, & zip-lock bag of pellets inside the bucket with lid when not in use. Works great for me. We use a pop up tent for a changing room/bathroom outside the tear drop if staying a few days.

[@verylikecheryl]

The Shewee is great after a bit of trial and error at home in the shower. You just have to be sure to press it up firmly onto your perineum rather than at the front. If you press evenly all round or harder at the front edge, wee can leak out at the back. The front takes care of itself if you press moderately hard at the back. The benefit once you have the nack is you have the option to wee standing up with just your flies down like a man. I put tissue in my pants first then pat dry and dispose. That way you can picnic toilet like a man does and don’t feel vulnerable pulling your pants right down and squatting. You don’t get wee on your shoes and you can also wee into a screw top bottle if you need to go inside the van. Love all these tips, Brooke. Stuff your best friend will tell you… xxx

I got a smaller bucket at Wal-Mart and bought a child's toilet seat that fit perfect. I use grocery bags and 2 large hand full of saw dust. I prepped 32 bags and used my food sealer and sealed it up. Each morning I open the seal a meal bag and put it in fresh. It's wonderful. I put the toilet by the back door so I could get up easier.

My favorite solution is to use a plastic coffee jug with a snap-on lid. I can set it on a surface or hold it under me. Another way I go is to sit forward on the bottom of the cars' door-frame, and go on the ground. It is virtually undetectible as you are shielded by the car door, and have your pants only part-way down.

[@mrspumpkin36]

I do that, sitting on the cars door frame, with both doors open. If I need privacy from open side, I have a shower curtain and I use a magnet to put up the curtain on the doors.

[@annmarie6570]

[@musttravel8738]

I have done this and it is practically undetectable in a basically remote area.

[@vivianramsay2527]

Yes, sitting on the open car door frame works well, some splash back happens but easier to shield from by lifting your feet cause your bum is supported. Saved me many times while traveling for my job!! This country has so many beautiful, wide open areas thankfully.

Loved this video, I've been a (female) truck driver for 20 years and this has always been a big issue. Nowadays I use a large margarine container, lined with a large ziplock (for #1). This works great, because you can use it a couple of times and no clean up. I'm usually able to go #2 at a rest area or outside on an exit ramp, between my truck and trailer. Anyways appreciate this video, happy trails to you🙋‍♀️❤

My go one and 2 is, Walmart, RECTANGLE shaped, plastic small trash can. It fits front to back with no splash or miss. Scented trash bag and baking soda..You can also use the hard plastic big gulp 52 oz with hard plastic lid and handle, place it inside the can and then just empty that.

I love that you have shared your experience on this topic! I live on a semi truck several months at a time. I do not get off the truck just to use the bathroom. I have a plastic office garbage bin that is about 2.5 to three feet tall. I line the top edges with foam pipe insulation and double bag with strong, 13 gal kitchen garbage bags. I put a cup or two of livestock bedding pellets in the bottom that are exactly like Feline Pine pellets, only cheaper. I will immediately find a garbage can after going #2 but will wait 24 hours if it's only #1. The pellets smell great. I disagree about the availability of suitable garbage cans. You can use rest areas, gas stations at the fuel island, camp grounds, and any truck stop or travel plaza. There are many more to choose from. I also do this in my rv. I don't like black tanks or blue chemical. I might try pee powder in the future. Looking forward to more of your videos. 😁

As an ex traffic flagger had to go whenever or wherever we could sometimes. For squatting get long funnel for oil changes to avoid slash. Put 🧻 in cup before weeing it helps with smell and you can use multiple times. Keep lid on. Also ladies , keep skirt to help with possible creepy peepers if you need to squat. Lastly to 💩 get medical bedpan with lid, put in paper bag until you can dump it.

[@gineenspring855]

Funnel and a skirt-good tips!

[@detraborner3240]

While doing a road trip during Covid many restrooms were closed so I made a "potty station" by moving the passenger seat up as far as possible so I could squat on the floor board in the back seat. I used an old ice cream bucket that the pee could be dumped out of easily. That worked better for my balance in a squating position inside the car. I have used a pee cup as well at other times. For BMs (poop) I put a small plastic trash bag in an old ice cream bucket and did my business. I then placed that bag in a very heavy duty zip lock bag. To disguise it, I placed the Ziploc bag in a shopping bag and threw away in an outside trash can when possible. The Ziploc bag helped with odor control as well as spills. The next time I do this, I'll have a second bucket with a lid that I can store the BM filled bags until I can dispose... My dog was a little too interested in the poop bag. LOL

When traveling a long distance I’m telling you the large cup with a lid has been a lifesaver for years but since c19 and traveling at different states… you learn really quickly how to pack down a car van or suv 🚙 for camping into at times. A hint I advise is when you go to the gas station let them know you need 🧊 and get the largest cup with a top.. they will charge you like 50 cents to 75 cents for the cup. And have some paper towels scented bags and baby wipes 🧻. And ℹ keep the odo ban spray in the truck 🛻 for sanitizing issues and freshing the vehicle from additional odors. Ty for this video 🔥🔥🔥

i started using pee wipes in 2020 when way too many folks were a tad obsessed with buying toilet paper. i took a leftover flannel sheet from my youngest daughter’s bedding that she didn’t need/want when she moved out as an adult. then i just snipped and tore it into strips, then snipped and tore the strips crosswise into squares/rectangles. kept in a basket by the toilet, with a pretty pottery crock on the floor for used wipes to go into until they go into the washing machine. easy peasy. then when i moved into a dry cabin for 2 1/2 years, i kept a pee pot at the base of my ladder stairs to my sleeping loft and my basket of pee wipes right next to it. i recently moved into a skoolie, where i have the room for a toilet solution but have not felt the need to buy one. just visited my 93yo aunt who when she found out my living situation said “have i got something for you!” and gifted me an antique enameled pee pot, with handle and lid, and said they used to call them thunder jugs! lol i learned to not put the lid on overnight because of that condensation issue but i love my thunder pot and pee wipes! haven’t had any poop emergencies but in the back of my head was like, well, worst case scenario i have the cat’s litter box! i plan to buy a box of compostable plastic bags for small waste baskets and keep those on hand, along with extra kitty litter, for any potential intestinal emergencies that eventually may arise.

Another #2 option is a dog pee pad. They're usually 2ft square and provide a large target. They have absorbent material with waterproof backing. Fold up afterwards and stow away in a bag for disposal.

[@estheronajourneytocontentm1097]

I have been thinking of using the doggie wee pads underneath a wee container in case of spills - never would have thought to use them for ‘number 2’. Great idea

[@grlnexdoorable]

Roll Up the dog pad and tie into a dog Poo bag to teash.

[@bellastone-le9eb]

Also, get a large foldgers coffee container and you can easily line it and dump it out and rinse it out, either or. Works so good no matter where you are. Stuff it in a bag and go into a public restroom and dump it in a toilet or out in nature.

[@sandrabeck8788]

Excellent video straight talk. You are right about the pee cup, they work well. I camped in a minivan for awhile, the porta potty worked fine for night time peeing, but I managed to do #2 in public restrooms. People need to stop leaving messes and toilet paper in parks and open camping areas or they will all be closed sooner or later.

[@lisaf-d8521]

Love this transparency and the emphasis on leave no trace. There’s nothing worse than seeing used TP and feminine hygiene products in our open lands. We have a RV with a black tank but to be able to dry camp longer, we use the empty nut jars from Costco. The screw on lids are great to prevent leakage and they hold a lot of pee.

[@BrookeandPippa]

Yes! I hate seeing waste trash scattered, especially because my dog loves to try and get into it! Wow great tip on the nut jars! I might have to find one, I love my pee cup, but I’m always down to know what others are using!

I'm glad we're talking about this. One of my biggest fears is being in a minor collision and the contents going everywhere. I invested in some period panties awhile back and I love them.

[@rainsofhealing]

I’ve used the nut butter jars w screw lids and they work well. Only downside is the capacity. I graduated to a large tall glass pickle jar (more capacity, no drip lid) and am a happy camper! I can get a number of uses out of it before it needs emptying. Happy times!

[@Inspired-one58]

Completely 👍🏻💯%.

[@pebblesbarton3974]

In my camper van I use a rectangular plastic container. Place a used produce bag in it , put it in the toilet and close the toilet lid. Out of sight out of mind! Just tie it up and toss then replace the plastic bag. I do this even in RV parks because I don't like having to use the dump station. The black tank stays clean most of the time and I never have an odor problem in the tiny bathroom.

Just got to the part where you said you can still squat. I can still squat at 65 and I attribute that 100% from decades of hiking and being in the woods and squatting to pee. For a long time I had my mattress on the floor (more for my cat’s mobility than mine), but realized I had to get up off the floor at least once a day and I was stronger and more flexible for it. Don’t take the easier route until you have to! We are drawn to so many conveniences that just make us weak before our time.

Great video Brooke! I just started car camping (in state park) this past weekend. It's part of my grieving process after my wife passed late last year after 39 years together. Eventually, I'd like to car camping in off-grid area, national parks, etc. (for vacation). I appreciate the idea with the ripped trash bag for ultimate #2 (LOL). It's awesome. I think I'm going to add/modify my bicycle rack in the back of my Rav4 with a small tightly sealed container for bathroom waste (temporarily storage) in case digging a cat hole is not an option. Happy Camping Brooke and Pippa!

The widowers I have talked to including those who have been remarried, they all said the pain never go away! Btw, it has been suggested to me from many friends that I should start my own youtube channel as part of my journey which includes car-camping, future backpacking & boondocking, and post many of my writings including ones I wrote while I was in the hospital room with her.

I have always used a pee cup camping even if the campground had bathrooms! Because at 2am it was easier to use then walking all the way to the bathroom.. I have also used a coffee can 🙂

[@4potslite169]

Straightforward practical video w smart informative options. I’ve used a pee rag for yrs while hiking and love it…works great and less TP to pack out. Almost purchased one of the pee “pitchers” for extended cat camping but didn’t want to deal w the no lid option forcing me to dump rinse and clean immediately during the night or in bad/cold weather. My favorite solutions are a urinal w female funnel at top that also has a lid or a simple coffee can (or similar) w lid. Just pop on the top and take care of disposal and cleaning first thing in the morning. Like yourself I mostly just pee outside during the day. Oh…and thanks for the tutorials! LOL!

Great and honest video about a natural bodily function. Thank you. We use a bedside commode but we are fortunate to also travel and camp in a small 14’ camper. My daughter is disabled and is unable to use any public toilets. She is also in a wheelchair. Finding a solution so that we could continue to camp and travel was essential. Even on those trips where we stay in motels I take the potty chair. We can pull over just about anywhere when we have to go. I am sharing the bedside commode because it may be an option for some. If space is a problem there are folding ones. Happy travels.

Agree on your peecup decision.. One fact..pee makes poop stink.. this to keep them separate is important if possible.

[@maryanncarlson3025]

A pee cup is the best option in car camping. But hold it to your area so no spilling. POO in a walmart double bag. Put bag in a bowl and squat. Works great if you are in need. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@margaretlemmon1143]

You can line the bowl with a bag and then drape a small puppy pad inside to poop on and it keeps everything clean and easy to tie up for disposal.

Tip: When using The Luggable Loo type of toilet, I’ve found that using the self cleaning cat litter crystals is best, this can get you through when you don’t have time to dump for a while. Just a suggestion:) thank you 😊

I am a truck driver and we can not always get to a restroom. I personally bought the stackable Rubbermaid containers at Walmart. I started with the cup and found that it was easier to use the bigger open mouth of the container not a lot bigger but was nicer to handle and it has a lid. Good luck on your travels and enjoy.

[@BoneHeadPlaysGames]

Also one thing that's really awesome for car camping that I've discovered that you can just go into Target or something and get some regular poster board... And then you trace out the shape of your windows and cut them out the size you can use tape if you have to combine some pieces together to make it large enough and you can make perfectly-sized custom window covers for your car and it really helps keep alive the heat out blocking out the Sun and gives a lot of privacy for when you have to pee in the car or when you're people can't look in and if you're worried that all you can't look out well you can make it to where it can slide a little bit and you can have pickles and some cars come with a reverse camera and I just use my car is reverse camera to check my surroundings and I parked appropriately so the camera is facing most of my campsite

[@rchoper21]

[@alison2878]

For pooping if you can’t go outside, I could see using a large cup/ bottle with a large opening and a secure lid. put a small compost bag inside to line it. Squat and hold the cup securely over the bum hole and poop into it, wipe and put toilet paper into it. Tie the compost bag, secure the lid, and dispose of the bag when you get the opportunity.

[@safetyfirst3132]

For gig work I used an inflatable bedpan I bought on Amazon. It was a 2 pack for $6. I line it with a bag & a gel pad. Looks like those old school commercial paper towels. I think they’re called commode liners? Those are about $20 for 80. During Covid no one let you use the bathroom. I threw the sun shade in the windshield and have heavy tint everywhere else. Kept a roll of tp in the glove box, and had a giant bottle of hand sanitizer in the cup holder. Slid the bed pan under, pulled my pants to my knees, and sat down. Stood up and wiped, holding the steering wheel while I slid it back out from under me. Pull up pants, tie up bag, sanitize, sun shade, and back to work. Hope this helps.

Years of tent camping I figured out a small pail from the cat litter fits under the cot when not in use. My friend uses the small green compost bin that most people keep in the kitchen. A paper liner lined with a plastic compostable liner is the perfect mini toilet. It’s big enough for a one use, so you have to change the double liners every time. But for those 2am bladder runs, or emergency poops…. Now this is the best tip…. Ziploc freezer bags. Tie off your waste bags and pop them into ziploc freezer bags. You can get 2-3 waste bags into i freezer bag. Makes it easier to haul it out…

Hi Brooke. I'm a single lady in my 08 Jeep Liberty. Like yourself, I found carrying those items with me on the road to be too cumbersome and, quite frankly, they smell. Yikes! For urine, I went to Dollar Tree and got a 2 Qt/8 cups Container WITH LID and even has a wider mouth than the store cups. I see them in many Dollar Tree stores. I'm not able to post a pic. Now I don't worry about spilling during the night. Details are that when I need to pee, I pull off a handful of toilet paper. I then remove the lid and wipe the Rim of the container so that it is not wet when I hover over it. I get under the covers and squat over the container. No exiting the car. Wipe myself and put toilet paper in grocery bag for trash, screw on lid tight. In the am, I depart the car and eliminate the urine. One step further, I use antibacterial wipes and clean the container and lid each morning, but that's just my level of being clean. Thank you...I'm still learning too🎉

[@LynnRPerry]

I wrote a comment answering someone’s comment but my answer got longer and longer and so I thought to also add it to the general discussion. It was a comment about containers. As follows: You can get a smaller bucket at Lowes. Find them in the paint isle. They also have food grade 5 gallon buckets, I use for dog food, which are great if you live in a house or a vehicle. You can find, located near the buckets, a great lid to fit these buckets, sold separately. It has two parts, the first piece you fit over the top of your bucket opening. It fits very snuggly. If you don’t carry a hammer or the like go find a mallet in Lowes and use it to get a secure fit. If you are uncomfortable doing this yourself ask for help. These guys will help you out. If you use a hammer, put a cloth over the area you are hitting to keep any damage from happening. The second part, the lid, screws into the first part. It is a great and if you use this bucket as a bucket Loo you have a lid. I use several of these different sizes, sturdy paint buckets as containers for my everyday day items I need to repeatedly use through the day. The handle works great as I can hang them , keeping them from tipping, yet move then about my space. You can also locate them easily when they are on a higher level. It is amazing what you can not find in a vehicle when something doesn’t get put back in its space. They have differently sizes of bucket so you can find what will work for you best pooping. I use a small trash can plastic bag to put in this bucket, and tye up the ends then store it in a Walmart grocery sack till I can get to a garbage. I am with our host on the peeing though, just don’t make it so complicated. There are some gas station that are really great about cleaning. As you cross the country you will get to know them. Pilots and Loves, on the highway, have been making an increasing effort to do very well in their regular cleanliness. Urban stations I like the QT as those places are almost always clean very nicely. But look for the travel centers need the highways and you will find chain travel centers for truckers. These guys and gals don’t want dirty bathrooms either. And please when you find a bathroom needing attention say something. Woman and children deserve to have clean facilities. Make a point of telling the manager good and bad. If we are not willing to stand up and say something then we will never find a clean facility.
