Well, here's another problem that most everybody deals with while trailering and I'm sure there are plenty of solutions but this one works for us, so thought I'd "pass it" along. LOL
Problem: Keeping the toilet clean after making a deposit, or going #2, is an age old problem. The trick is to do it without using a lot of paper, water and/or making a bigger mess, especially if one is dry camping and water is a precious commodity. Repeated or prolonged flushing is not a good thing. At first, I used toilet paper in the shape of a cone to cover the inside of the toilet in our boat and that worked. Continued to use this method in the trailer, but this method just added a lot of paper to the holding tank.
Solution: Then it dawned on me, as I was perusing my local DYI store, Grovers Electrical and Plumbing store, I noticed they had a shower blaster/cleaner with quick disconnect fittings. The blaster is made by Danco and comes with six or so feet hose (not really needed) a male fitting for trailer's shower hose and two female fittings...one for the original shower hand wand and one for the blaster. This is all predicated on the idea that you have a shower hose w/hand wand connected to a wash basin with a diverter...which our bathroom (head) has. If you are not busy using the blaster, as pictured, you can swap it out and plug in the shower wand. So Simple. The quality of the Danco blaster and connectors is excellent and blaster does a good job increasing the pressure of the water, for cleaning. Be sure to take your shower wand and/or complete hose assembly to plumbing store to make sure it all fits. No sense in wasting a trip.
Conclusion: I find this blaster does the trick with a minimum of water useage and doesn't fill the black water holding tank with unnecessary amounts of toilet paper.
Happy Camping - "Wichita"
