Ok,

I just re-joined the list after a few months off, and the first thing I
read is this topic.

Of course I am in Germany, and no matter in what direction we drive,
there is always a toilet available in a few miles radius.
If we are driving through the woods and the next toilet is away a few
hours, there´s always the woods you can use. Or your Vanagon´s porta potti.
Honestly, when I know I am going someplace remote, I do my business
BEFORE leaving.

Could it be that the U.S. is more a vast, empty continent than I thought?
;-))

Regards
Raimund
