Actually, VW also thought of this in a kind of low tech way.  When I got my 
'73 Campmobile, it had a plastic bucket (about 4 gallon size) with a plastic 
lid, and a toilet seat that fit on the top.  For the '73, it fit in the rear 
facing seat storage area.  Kind of a waste of space, but we used it lots 
with the children along.
