I suppose there are all kinds of contraptions used to take care of the
necessary bodily functions. I even saw one that fits into a receiver type
trailer hitch . Had a bag hanging underneath to catch the business.

But most convenient for me to avoid having to go out into the night is a
sheerock mud bucket, a plastic bag liner and a circle of 3/4" ply wit a round
hold in the middle and a groove cut to match the rim of the bucket, plus a
lid of some sort. Cheap, sits at a convenient height, can be emptied by
removing the bag with the contents. I leave it to your own innovation as to
how to dispose of the bag.

If a night visit is necessary, and only one required, when done, the wood rim
can be removed and the  bucket's snap-on lid put into place. Stops odors
completely. However a bit of tank cleaner is always a plus. Otherwise, leave
it set up 'til morning.

Just one more way of dealing with life's little realities.
