Chemical toilet in vans?

Post by 2yearpostie »

Just an idea if we had bigger vans, could a section by one of the side doors be partitioned off and made into a camper van style chemical toilet area for when we are on delivery, especially in rural jobs ( with the explicit rule you use it you empty it when you get back)

It'd leak out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the tray

On a serious note the fact we have no access to a toilet is a bit sh** tho...

Would this work for you? Snap close lid, and it's got a nice handle on it as well..

my "colleagues" can't take their food wrappers and drink bottles from the van to the bin. imagine opening the door after a hot bank holiday weekend and being greeted by the aroma of last weeks chinese takeway dump. :crazy: never going to happen. maybe in a perfect world it might make sense, but royal mail world is far from perfect :nervous

I'm all for it i need somewhere to ditch the lapsing and D2Ds.

Fine enough idea, but the reality is as stated above, too many posties can't even bin a chocolate wrapper.

Just what I've always dreamed of, taking that festering 9am RM toilet stench, of a thick hot mist of middle aged farts and poo particles, out on the road with me all day.

You should take this idea on dragons den, perhaps compliment it with some RM branded human excrement scented air fresheners, because why be without that wonderful aroma when relaxing at home?
