Words are not capable for reccomending HIGHLY ENOUGH the fitting of
"facilities" for your VW camper. One could debate for weeks, (like the spring-
compression droll) whether it is better to leave off the tires, but have a
comode while out on the highway/backwoods, or have tires, but no potty... I'd
ride on the bare steel rims.

We use a "Porta-Potti", and it is fantastic. In the area just inside the
sliding door, we drilled/bolted some small luggage anchors through the
bulkhead; we strap down the potti there with some 3/4" wide nylon web strap
with a quick-release buckle. I don't know much about other brands, butt (sic)
the porta-potti can take a tumble when "full" and not purge a drop. I'm sold!

Whether you are driving down the winding backroads and hear the call of
nature, or you have "camped" in a truck-stop parking lot; whether there are
many racoons and other butt-biters where you are camping, or you are out
running errands in town and can't find a place to "go", there's nothing better
than having a potti with you in your camper. You may want to fit curtains, if
you don't have them already. We are thinking about fitting some. :)
