Toilets on trucks
 
What would it cost to spec a truck with a toilet. Doesn't matter what make. Just trying to see what kind of pricing I'm looking at.

10-12-2006 07:43 AM

Plastic toilet seat from outdoor store...$20.00
Empty 5 gal joint compound pail from construction site.....Free
1 medium trash bag....$.10

Not having to walk to the bathroom 1/2 mile away in the rain....priceless

starman5196 10-12-2006 07:59 AM

Awesome reply - can't wait to see that one on TV :D :shock: :wink:

stevedb28 10-12-2006 08:10 AM

the stinch if you forget to PROPERLY dispose of said trash bag, horrid.

brian 10-12-2006 08:18 AM

i`ll stick to walking in the rain

JACKKAL 10-12-2006 08:24 AM

PROPER
 
I KNOW I can do that way. But want to seriously look at purchasing a truck and want to see how much different.

Uturn2001 10-12-2006 10:17 AM

I have never heard of a standard truck sleeper being equipped with a toilet from the factory.

You can probably have most any sleeper retrofitted for about $10,000 and up to include anything you want that will fit in the sleeper.

I had to reply to this one. Love the priceless comment that was awesome. I do have to ask, does anybody have one of these?

I have talked to drivers who say they are great, but the cleaning is a real mess. I would think that doing the #1 and the #2 would not be to great in the cab of your truck. I mean what happens when it splatters when ur peeing!! GROSS.

Anyone other replies? Seems to be some sanitary issues with it.

Stopped at the lovely Pilot there at Exit 65(?) on I-35 north of Laredo (not the one at exit 13), and there was literally crap all over the floor floating in a lake of urine in the men's room and leaking outside into the hallway in front of the men's room and enough illegals in there to re-film "The Alamo." Say what you will, I lost my qualms about performing calls of nature in a trash bag and/or empty milk jug in the privacy of my own truck real quick.

Sorry, Steve-O, you got that wrong.

Plastic toilet seat from outdoor store....$20.00

Sh!tting 6 inches from where you sleep, with no means of disposal and no means of washing up without walking in the rain that you were trying to avoid.....priceless

You can get ya one of these.

Are people getting that lazy that they are reverting to crapping inm their trucks? If you want a truck with the toilet you're going to have to:

<Cue JRoqueman> GET A BIG BUNK!!! Aside from the tax benefits, you can have a truck 20' longer than necessary, AND have your shitter, kitchen and shower all in one! Cook, eat, poop, wash up afterwards!!</JRoqueman>

No, seriously...walk in the rain....it's things like this that keep bedbugger's slimmer and trimmer than dock bumpers. :roll:

PackRatTDI 10-12-2006 01:56 PM

Get an actual portable chemical toilet. Most have a fresh water tank tha flushes and a seal over the dump tank. The chemicals break down the poopie and toilet paper into a pourable goo.

Big John 10-12-2006 05:28 PM

I had to use my hard hat one time, it only cost $6.99 to get a new one. It was just one of those moments and it was not raining.

movinit 10-12-2006 06:16 PM

There are portable toilets out there that offer bags with chemicals in them that solidify urine and neutralize odor of the other. These portable toilets can fold away also.

I have one. The only problem is the height and size.

I used a regular "port-a-potty" but it was hard to get out of the truck and dump.

Do you realize the amount of fecal bacteria that is escaping from these "makeshift bathrooms"? Especially since it has no walls surrounding it.

I sure hope a person who owns this thing doesn't eat in their truck.

We live in a civilized society. We should live like civilized creatures. And a civilized creature doesn't sh!t 6 inches from his bed.

Disgusting, I tell you. :roll:

Considering the filth you encounter on a daily basis using a public toilet, the portable in your sleeper isn't such a bad thing.

Public toilet = sink to wash your hands

Sleeper port-o-john = wiping fecal bacteria all over everything.


I'll keep using the public toilet until I "consider" a big bunk. :wink:

Hand sanitizer takes care of that.

On Board Toilet
 
Best hope your truck stays right side up. Could get messy LOL.

jgreen428 10-13-2006 04:02 AM

$60 for a frame-mounted throne! Some guy in Texas is making a real killing on these bumper dumpers.....Funny thing is, it would only take one REALLY bad "sitting in the urine of others" experience to make me pony up.

Midnight Flyer 10-13-2006 04:20 AM

:D Log onto www.aatrucksleeper.com as they have self-contained shower and toilet compartments that can be installed behind your sleeper compartment. 8)

Malaki86 10-13-2006 06:12 AM

How about mounting a Port-a-John to the catwalk?

You have a lot more faith in hand sanitizer than I do. If you have dirt on your hands, it doesn't make it magically disappear - it just kills the bacteria in it. The dirt stays.

I think a toilet spill would be the least of your problems if you crash your truck. :wink:

Then use handiwipes. Geeze. You have a lot more faith in public toilets than I do.

I used to work in maintenance at a basketball stadium. I saw things that you don't even want to think about! :shock:

10-13-2006 08:06 AM

That's why you use a medium size trash bag in a 5 gallon bucket. Use it as a trash barrel and when it's time to go get the seat out and clamp it to the top then go. When done, tie a knot in it and it's sealed. Put the cover away and put a new trash bag in and the old one in there also then throw away next stop. I also put a bag if kitty litter in the pail first. It adds to the weight when empty and keeps it in place and in case the bag breaks, well that's what kitty litter is for.

I don't wash my hands in the toilet, silly. :lol:

yeti 10-13-2006 09:50 AM

NO BOOTS OR POOP IN MY BEDROOM!! :twisted:

BanditsCousin 10-13-2006 09:57 AM

I don't let my helpers smoke when in the bunk, thats my bedroom. I might pee in a bottle, but I've never crapped in the sleeper. I could only imagine the smell (insert puke smiley face here)

If I had to, I'd go in my trailer and crap on a burlap if it was an extreme emergency. :lol:

wot i life 10-13-2006 08:58 PM

I can,t stand the after smells of even cooking in the cab!
And you,re considering having a dump in your cab?
Have you thought about this seriously?
Even if you suffer from I.B.S and very very frequently pass motions with the consistancy of beef soup; You still can,t possibly do this!
Would you object if guests came around to your house and brought their own portable toilet so that they could have a keek in your dining room?
Of course you would!
So why the hell do it yourself?
PLEASE!
I,ll pay you a non keeking weekly allowance if that,s what it takes to stop you..... :sad:

Disgusting, I tell you.
And walking through a pissed filled parking lot or some truck stop bathroom floors, then stepping into the area where you eat is not disgusting? At least if I poop/pee in my truck it is MY poop/pee and not the filth of others.

10-14-2006 07:07 AM

Your beating a dead horse. You can word both sides either way to make it sound like your the ultimate authority on the subject. It's personal preference but like every single topic in this forum, it always goes down hill. Someone next will post some BS federal regulation against having your own toilet in the cab...GEEZ!

Adam9315 10-14-2006 07:32 AM

When I get my truck, i'm gonna crap in a bucket all the time and listen to music, and enjoy some beef jerky. And why would I need to wash my hands after I crap? I don't get my smash on my hands. I'm an excellent wiper. Can of lysol and some wipes and you're good to go. And if you can hold it, just take a dump in the bucket when you're near a dumpster. That way the smell wont stay in there long. And perhaps you can even store the bag, in the trailer, if you had to ride with it a while.

I'm gonna get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Lugga.../dp/B0000B15AK

My guess is that it's more of a James Bond approach. If your being followed in hot pursuit you crap and flush and take care of the enemy. Like, Holy Crap Batman....Hit the Bat pooper dispenser Robin.

I don't know about you, but I try to make a habit out of not preparing my meals on the floor of my truck. :wink:
